I respect AP for not taking the clickbait headline approach, but they really buried the lede here:
> Sleiman first turned to comedy in 2021, after he was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, a chronic illness that affects the central nervous system. One of his biggest fears, he said, was losing fine motor function and, with it, his ability to play the guitar and piano. But stand-up was a safe spot: There’s a stool if he needs to sit down, a mic stand if he can’t hold the microphone.
Heartless, man. MS is a terrible illness that takes everything from you. To lean on your sense of humor is pretty much an essential self-defense mechanism. I haven't seen his comedy, but it would have to be absolutely unforgivable to justify his firing.
