What can be said about Norm that any true fan does not know about him? The man was born Norman Gene MacDonald on October 17, 1963, in Quebec City, Canada. Norm's two siblings, Neil and Leslie, are both Canadian newscasters. According to older brother Neil, "My father thought he was nuts,'' Neil remembers Norm drifting from job to job, even playing chess for money on the streets of Philadelphia. "He lived in a kind of fantasy world. He was going to be a gambler for a while, although he'd never been inside a casino. He had showbiz in his head, but he never seemed to put it to use."
According to an article in the Canadian press, the future Weekend Update host almost became a serious journalist when Neil landed him an interview at the Ottawa Citizen. "When he was asked why he wanted to become a reporter, Norm said something about wanting to discover the truth,'' remembers Neil. But without a driver's license, Macdonald couldn't take the job. As he later explained to Neil, he "kinda hoped the truth was in walking distance.'
