Was he conservative? I know conservatives latched on to him. But they also latched on to Steven Colbert in his early years, because they couldn't detect sarcasm.
PJ and Jeff Foxworthy were heavily political. Tim Allen, too. What generally worked for them as comedians was the absurdity (or, perceived absurdity) of a shifting culture.
The observational "I'm just a normal guy and look at all these freaks!" act isn't conservative on it's face. It just doesn't age well, as views change.
Norm was definitely conservative.
