| The police have done several wellness checks and they have found him alive and well. |
| It's quite a change, though. I met him in the past, and he was one of the most desperately needy-for-attention people I ever knew. To the point where people would avoid him. I can see why his friends would be concerned. |

This blind item is supposedly about him. I loved him when he was on the Howard Stern show.

| I heard he and his wife are in the process of separating. |
LOL... he is not married. |
| They just announced that he'll be on the Today show this morning. |
| It seems pretty clear he's descended into mental illness. Perhaps those around him don't have his best wishes at heart, but he also could have just finally lost control of it. It's really hard to know from the outside. |

A lot can happen in a year. They should do another check on him. |
|
His appearances on the David Letterman show were some of the most hilarious bits I've ever seen.
I hope they are both doing well. |

He hurt his knee, can no longer exercise, and has gained a ton of weight...that's why he's in hiding. He'll reemerge once he loses some weight. He was obese before he got fit and turned that into a business. His brand will suffer if he is seen in public overweight.
|
| He sounds depressed. |
That is my hunch also. And depressed along with it would make a lot of sense. I hope all the concern for him is cheering for him - he seems like a decent hearted soul. |
