Did Patrice's death turn Jim into the scared, neurotic, middle-of-the-road worm he is today?

I swear that worm hasn't been funny since patrice died, and he was the biggest reason i started listening to O&A in the early XM days

Nah, he’s been cautiously unfunny since Ant was fired. Afraid of losing his gig.

This. I think he likes the radio gig way more than doing clubs now hat he’s gotten older. Before he liked traveling and doing gigs, but now he’s slowing down.

He straight up said he saw his ticket sales drop when Ant got fired.

Yep. He’s gotta keep the tranny’s happy

He's been like that since the beginning of him actually having a paying radio gig. It just shows more now because everything in entertainment has gotten softer on average.

Norton protects that sweet, steady radio money at all costs.

The worm adopts the characteristics of people with talent. Without Patrice's individuality and comedy to feed off, he is now the ghastly little slug that is his true self.

Nobody can be edgy anymore. Listen to 2006 Norton. "These faggot companies!" Over and over again. Listen to 2018 Norton. "That's a tough one man. I don't know."

We have learned that he was always nothing more than a hollow shell of a man.

He was tough guy free speech comedy warrior only when it was safe and cool to be that, because that's what all the other comedians around him were. Now in the era of "don't fat shame Amy Schumer" he's jury duty Jimmy trying not to get fired.
