We loved Norm Macdonald, Steve Martin wrote in a tweet.
One of a kind.
Some shared clips of their favorite Norm moments, while others praised him as a one-of-a-kind genius.
(Im trying to avoid using the phrase, twinkle in his eyes).
He was a lifetime Cy Young winner in comedy.
Gone, but impossible to forget.Dave Letterman
Every one of us loved Norm.
Some of the hardest laughs of my life with this man.
Most fearless funny original guy we knew.

I am absolutely devastated about Norm Macdonald.
Norm had the most unique comedic voice I have ever encountered and he was so relentlessly and uncompromisingly funny.
I will never laugh that hard again.
I’m so sad for all of us today.
My dear friend Norm MacDonald passed after a brave 10 year battle.
He was one of our most precious gems.
An honest and courageous comedy genius.
We loved Norm MacDonald.
One of a kind.https://t.co/0sXoCLEtuG
NOOOOO GODDAMIT.
Oh my God what is even happening.Good bye, Norm.
One of the funniest to ever do it - RIP to a king
Oh fuck.
I would stay up specifically to watch him on talk shows.
He was the funniest guest of all time.
We lost a comedy giant today.
One of the the all time greats.
No one could make you break like Norm Macdonald.
Norm MacDonald was a true GOAT.
As a comic, as a talk show guest.
I pray for you.
Thanks for all the laughs Norm, very sorry to see you go.https://t.co/ahxZNRdJEw
RIP Norm Macdonald.
One of the most original comedians ever.
Funny & bizarre & unpredictable with a singular comedic voice.
We lost one of the greats.
This photo was taken after I was a guest on Norm’s show.
At dinner the laughs just continued nonstop.
He will be missed.

Norm is the pinnacle of bravery and originality.
Damn.
Norm Macdonald - legend - one of the funniest ever.
Sending love to his family and friends.
In such a divisive time even among comedians, we can all agree Norm MacDonald was the best.
I will spend today as I spend most days: watching clips of Norm Macdonald
RIP Norm MacDonald.
I saw him perform live when I was in college.
It was one of the most memorable performances I’ve ever seen.
A complete mastery of standup comedy performance and an unparalleled passion for the art of writing jokes.
Words cant describe how saddened I am to hear of the passing of my friend.
Nobody was funnier than@normmacdonald.
He made comedians feel like we hadn’t even started doing comedy yet.
No formulas, no pandering just purely what he thought was funny.
Oh yeah, incidentally one of the sweetest guys I’ve ever known.
Norm Macdonald was fearlessly funny#RIPhttps://t.co/DIQmAAhMfb
I will miss you forever!

Cant believe Norm MacDonald is dead.
First met him in the mid 80s.
I thought he was way too funny to be successful.
I was half right.
So hilarious and so generous with his personality.
Im gonna miss him.
In my opinion, Norm MacDonald was the funniest Weekend Update anchor.
Ah yes, Corporate Media, they always have our backs.
I love the science of comedy.
It was beyond trolling.
He was one of the best comics ever.
After we talked in 2011 I couldn’t believe what an amazing talk it was.
I still can’t.
One of the best episodes.
RIPhttps://t.co/344Ph5pFjn
Today is a sad day.
Its almost never for them.
Norm@normmacdonaldwas a great talent, and I loved laughing with him on SNL.
Just hanging on the couch.
I was so nervous but he was unbelievably nice, hysterical & encouraging.
He joked with everyone in the green room & offered punch ups & advice.
We lost a real legend today.pic.twitter.com/daXR2181Hj
No one did Burt better than Norm.
Rest In Peace.#TurdFergusonpic.twitter.com/2i5MLR1fEa
Sorry to hear about the death of Norm Macdonald.
He was one of the greats of comedy.
And he was also a really good guy.
He will be missed.pic.twitter.com/wdZnnooKPE
I really really liked norm macdonald a lot.
like from the first time I heard his weird ass voice on SNL.
sometimes I listen to clips of him talking on YouTube for hours.
rest in peace
I think about these two and a half pages from Norm Macdonalds book constantly.
One of the best moments of my career was when he found something I did funny.
Very few comics will ever possess that level of mastery.
RIP.https://t.co/VrsnVRCUZ9
Today the world lost a very, very funny man.
We miss him already.
One of the funniest people#SNLever produced is gone, but will never be forgotten.
I’ve spent many an hour on YouTube over the years enjoying all the characters he gave us.
Im shocked that youre gone so soon.
I loved being with you and working with you.
He was a hilarious man and an absolute legend.
#NormMacdonaldwas a comedic genius.
I didn’t know@normmacdonaldbut he really made me laugh.
His humor was as fiercely funny as it was brilliant.
His loss is tragic.
If theres a God then this Yom Kippur, he should atone.
He always had that smile on his face.
His dimples made him look like he was doing all of this w/ ease & he couldnt be friendlier.
Rest In Peace, Sir.
