Stand Up Guy Has Fallen

[Blind Gossip] This funny actor was once the star of a ensemble TV sitcom. He has fallen on hard times.

He is totally broke. He gets periodic gigs doing stand-up.

He recently got one in a decent-sized venue but then it was canceled. He said in public that he had to cancel it because he had to deal with issues around the wildfires in California, but that’s not true. He actually cancelled due to lack of ticket sales. They hadn’t even sold enough tickets to cover the cost of his flight!

He was upset about that and got really drunk that night instead. He gets drunk a lot.

He’s always been an odd guy but that drinking issue certainly rings a bell. We seem to recall him drinking during the filming of the TV show.

Can anyone save him from himself?

    Jon Cryer, from Two and a Half Men, cant really picture him being broke but who knows, I havent seen him anything notable since.
    The pic in the blind looks just like the opening were Cryer, Sheen and the kid sing the theme together.
    And he was definitely the odd guy in Pretty in Pink, his character was named Duckie.

    How about Charlie Sheen for the win? The mike is the mike used at the beginning of 2 & 1/2 men….

    Rings a bell/save him from himself/odd guy/drinking – saved by the bell and screech was a true weirdo

    Advice? Find a new career away from showbiz

    Hhmmm I’m not sure but is this Matthew Perry?
    He was part of the ensemble ‘Friends’ and you said “rings a bell” which made me think of his last name BING on the show that sounds like a bell chime Lolol

    Dustin Diamond

    Clues: “rings a BELL,” “anyone SAVE him for himself,” “odd guy” (Screech), and I think in that unauthorized behind the scenes movie, it portrayed him as being drunk on set.

    Advice? Just get a regular job like the rest of
    us Joe-Schmoes.

    Dustin Diamond aka Screech ?
    Save… bell *

    Stop drinking asap… reinvent yourself taking small bit parts as a character actor. Guest spots on tv series.. prove you are clean and sober.. and that you can act.

    Mathew Perry? He was in the Odd Couple and was a star in Friends.

    Actor:Screetch dud from Saved by the Bell

    Clues: rings a bell, odd guy

    [Optional] What advice would you give him? Its time to grow up, put down the bottle, put on your big boy shorts and GET A REAL JOB. Hollywood is all fantasy and there’s now way you will get the kind of money now that you had when you were a teen.

    The last line reminds me of his quirk in friends always asking questions

    Odd guy – he was in the odd couple

    Maybe the night club circuit and stay there most of the night hyping up the crowd unlike most of the celebs who stay 1 hour.

    Talk ALOT to Robert Downey Jr.

      No way any of the “Friends” actors could possibly be broke. They’re still making tens of millions per year from that show. It was sold to Netflix last week for over $100M.

  50. BeauSo says

    Dustin Diamond (Screech on Saved By the Bell – “rings a bell”) is trying his luck with stand-up comedy.

  52. High Steppa says

    Dustin Diamond – “Save” and “Rings a bell” for “Saved By The Bell.”

    His schtick got old with me. How about get a regular 9-5?
