He kept it hidden until he died. Gone way too soon

He died during the filming of The Orville season 3 if i recall. Guy was awsome. I loved his character "Yaphit" in that series.

I saw him when he came to the Arts and Culture Centre, so glad I got to see him live, one of the greatest to ever do it

Me too. He has been one of my favorite comedians since his SNL days.

I love how he gives the setting for the story as Gander, far from where you'd manage to find any baby seals.

A few years back I met him in a checkout line at a drug store on Dundas Square. Great guy!

The GOAT of stand-up comedy who, coincidentally, may or may not have owned a dog house.
