His agent was not able to reach a salary agreement with the producers which is why he never was seen after Fish was cancelled. I personally think he wanted his show to be a success and didnt want to go backwards in life and appear back on BM

I always wondered if they tried to get him for the Jack Soo tribute episode.

It’s on Dailymotion. It’s 22 minutes there so I guess it’s not an unedited version. But better than nothing.

In my opinion, the series was better after Fish left. I grew tired of his constant complaining about his health and Bernice.
