"What you're seeing is the side effects of extensive radiation that I went through, for carcinoma in my throat," he said. "I haven't been able to eat solid food in months, and so I've lost 45 pounds. That's what you're seeing."

The stand-up comedy star also addressed the change in the sound of his voice.

"It's affected my ability to speak. Some of you said that I sound differently," he said. "So, yeah, you're right on with what you're seeing and what you're hearing."

The second cancer was found during a routine PET scan in October 2025 and was unrelated to the first. He told FOX News Digital he underwent 35 radiation treatments and surgeries, which were successful.
