<p>Norm MacDonald was never afraid to make an audience VERY uncomfortable as he worked to a punchline. Beginning as a standup star in Canada, Norm eventually became a cast member of Saturday Night Live. At SNL he helmed Weekend Update until getting unceremoniously dumped by network executives for telling one too many OJ Simpson jokes! Much later he penned a highly entertaining "autobiography" that knitted his real life struggles into an epic "Fear and Loathing" -- style road trip.

Norm MacDonald

Randy Hodgins and Steve McLellan’s lifelong love of comedy was kindled when they met more than 40 years ago in graduate school in Seattle.  While managing family and professional work responsibilities, they hosted a one hour comedy radio program on Saturday mornings for 10 years on a small radio station in Olympia, WA and also co-authored two books on northwest popular culture – Seattle on Film (1995) and Wet and Wired (2000).  Stuck at home during the early days of the pandemic with hundreds of comedy albums, cassettes and CD’s gathering dust on their shelves, they launched Laugh Tracks Legends of Comedy in May 2020, a weekly mini-program featuring a different comedy icon, with biographical bits and a nice slice of the comedy that made them famous. From standup stars, to stellar sketch teams, to novelty music maestros -- they are all part of our Legends.
