Nobody could be his age and as smart as he is and still be so uncouth and crude unless they just wanted to be. I think what early in life was natural became a schtick, what he is known for, what makes him distinctive.
Back in the late 70's I really enjoyed his magic tricks. Does he still do any? He was very good.

Not much. My wife and I met jeff and his wife @ 1973 at a conference in indianna. The FCM or Fellowship of Christian Magicians. We were the only UPC folks in attendance.
He gave me a bunch of his old tricks. Really a nice guy.
He preached our mens conference last year and was plesuable to hear. Very little of the crude schtick he lays out at BOTT.
