Late-night hosts pay tribute to Norm Macdonald following his death: 'The comedy world is poorer'

Late-night hosts took time out of their shows Tuesday to mourn the loss of comedy icon Norm Macdonald following his death at age 61.

James Corden got the ball rolling noting that Macdonald’s decision to not make his cancer diagnosis public was very in keeping with his character. 

"All Norm ever wanted to do was make us laugh and he was absolutely brilliant at it," the "Late Late Show" host said. "There was nobody quite like him. I felt privileged every time I got to be in his orbit. He leaves us as one of the all-time greatest comics, perhaps the single greatest guest in the history of late-night television, I think."
