Norton had heard that Williams had been using propofol, the same anesthetic that contributed to pop singer Michael Jackson’s death two years earlier.

In true Williams fashion he wouldn’t let a serious question about his health get in the way of a good joke.

“Michael Jackson was taking propofol to sleep, which is like doing chemotherapy because you’re tired of shaving your head,” Williams joked, sending the crowd into a fit of laughter.

Williams went on to joke about his children’s names and his love of video games.
