He was making $250K an episode, highest
on TV. By the third season, his drinking
and drug use had gotten so out of control,
he rarely showed up for work sober enough
to recite his lines. Then in 96 he was drunk
and hit a pole in his car and broke his
neck. How he lived to 74 is a miracle.


There was an episode with a plot about handicapped guys doing some kind of mountain climbing or something, I forget exactly. He showed up so loaded he could barely walk. Guys in the wheelchairs were particularly disgusted, I heard a quote that he could not even function to their level and he was in perfect health.

He was an instant star at an early age, good
looks and great body. He never had a real
job in his life.

He made my list a year or two back.

His book on sales made more sense than my company training at the time. But to hear him talk you have to wonder if he could sell water to a man on fire. A presenter he was not.

The man he is accused of killing was the reputed boss of New York's Gambino crime family, Francesco "Franky Boy" Cali, and for that, Comello is almost certainly marked for death by the underworld. And it makes no difference that the slaying may have been unconnected to mob business and stemmed instead from a romantic dispute.




Any bets that he makes it through 2020? Dead for sure in 5 years?
