Norm MacDonald, a major comedic presence, is perhaps best known for his dry and witty delivery of the fake news on Saturday Night Live for five seasons.

He currently has his own series on ABC, The Norm Show.

His film credits include Dirty Work, which in addition to starring in he co-wrote; Dr. Dolittle, in which he voiced the character of Lucky the Dog; Billy Madison, opposite fellow Saturday Night Live alum Adam Sandier; Milos Forman's Academy Awards -nominated The People vs. Larry Flynt; and Forman's Man on the Moon with Jim Carrey.

A native of Quebec City, Canada, Macdonald began his stand-up career 11 years ago in comedy clubs throughout Canada. Upon moving to Los Angeles, he became a writer on ABC's hit series Roseanne. He currently resides in Los Angeles.
