Yeah that’s why everyone says now “I didn’t even know he was sick” – Norm couldn’t really tell anyone even if he had wanted. No one would believe him. I also clearly remember him saying “I’m 68 years old now” in one of his standup, getting a round of applause in return.

That happened with Andy Kaufman, too — long after he had passed, many people maintained that the cancer was a long-con put-on and he was in fact still alive.

Norm MacDonald made a dumb joke where "I didn't even know he was sick" was the punchline. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVswkvCK6_0

This is not true.
Norm has said publicly in a radio interview that he thought that talking about cancer in a stand up act was the height of narcissism.
In regards to Norm's age, Norm incorrectly listing his/others' ages has been a recurring bit over the past three decades in many, many appearances in both his standup sets as well as television appearances. It's a meta joke poking fun at the idea that the specific age even matters.
