“When I drink I turn into a moron,” the former comedian tells Entertainment Tonight. “I think I’m being funny and clever, but I look back on the video tape and I border on retardation. People see me as a very easy target and they just make fun of me. It’s horrible, actually. It’s like making fun of a mentally handicapped person, because I am when I have that much alcohol inside of me.”
So when did he “hit bottom”? “Sitting in the back of the cop car urinating all over myself, crying, blowing my nose into my own shirt,” he recalls. “It was incomprehensible demoralization. I also had in one day, my agent, my manager and my publicist say ‘Sayonara!’ That still didn’t stop me.”
All this has lead him to star in VH1’s Sober House show. “My spiral into the purest of all hells has been very well documented, so why not get some professional cameras on me while you see my slow climb back up out of the gutter?”

Hopeful he will conquer his demons. TV, Cinema, music has all gone to pot. AnYone can be a “star”.
Andy, Andy—–it’s all over guy–bow out gracefully…..
I really do hope Rehab and Sober living will work this time, it is way over due. I wish him all the best and much success in getting his life back in order.
