Crazy to think he was fighting that this whole last few years when he was cranking content online.

Norm used humor to cope with everything else in his life. He didn't really get personal with the jokes, but it was like they were cathartic for him. It is no surprise that as his health got worse, he dove into the jokes even harder.

I guess the pandemic would have been both a blessing and a curse in that regard. He couldn't get on stage every night for a year. Hell, he may not have been able to. But, he had internet access and a captive audience that would eat up any and everything be did. He used that opportunity.
