He did survive testicular cancer (not related to the shades), but I think the reason he wears them is because it's his trademark.

Maybe someone can find a better reason :)

Here is an interesting exchange with him and an interviewer from TIME Magazine:

Q: What's with the sunglasses all the time, buddy? The '80s are over.

A: I've been wearing sunglasses since the '50s. I had black diapers. I was the first filthy, foul-mouthed counterculture comedian! I was the first guy to wear shades! I was the first guy!
