> [@Jim\_B](#): > > You’re being too kind:). He seems brain damaged now, which to me at least seems sad. But it is nice how everyone is still giving him a fair chance now. 🙂 What an odd comment. I wasn’t “giving him a chance” or cutting him slack because he’s disabled. I find the very notion personally abhorrent. ETA: To try to clarify, I mean that the idea that disabled people need extra slack in order to be good at their jobs is an insult to the disabled. ---

I think Tracy’s [monologue](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9UkjPF5X6o) from when he hosted SNL after his recovery is instructive. > [@Tracy](#): > > People are wondering, can he speak? Does he have a hundred percent mental capacity? But the truth is, I never did! I might actually be a few points higher now. He’s always been nuts. His standup has always been fairly bizarre stream-of-consciousness stuff. But everyone around him has always commented that he is a total professional, always showing up on time and ready to work (except he often doesn’t memorize his lines very well.)
