The comedy world lost a true original on Tuesday with the death of Norm Macdonald, who died at age 61 after waging a secret battle with cancer.

In a sneak peek at Tuesday’s edition of “The Late Late Show”, host James Corden pays tribute to the Quebec-born comic, best known for his acerbic stint anchoring Weekend Update on “Saturday Night Live” during the 1990s.
