Andy Dісk | The Dark Side Of Fame | From Successful Comedian To Homeless Аddiсt
Before They Were Famous - A podcast by Michael McCrudden

The trouble with Andy Dісk and his plunge into the Dark Side of Fame began long before headlines revealed that he’d been arrested in Santa Barbara, California on felony burglary charges after allegedly entering a home under construction and stealing multiple power tools. Stealing something might be a brand-new offense for Dісk, but groping is most definitely not. And if he’s not having problems keeping his hands to himself, well, he’s probably somewhere out there in La La Land, doing illegal stuff. In some ways, Andy Dісk fall from grace is a tragic chain of events that brought down a once-promising comic who was heralded by Time Magazine as “the most talented, gutsy, and truly strange comic of his generation”. In other ways, controversy and Andy Dісk have become such common bedfellows that to expect anything else from the dude would probably be asking too much at this point. You see, as Andy’s star rose in Hollywood thanks to his presence in the cult-classic television series, “The Ben Stiller Show” and “NewsRadio”, so too did his seemingly endless appetite for illegal substances.
