The Real Reason Sinbad Lost Most Of His Money

Following his health struggles, Sinbad has remained busy, maintaining a tour schedule that would make any comedian jealous, playing multiple shows a night in such bummer locales as Honolulu and Beverly Hills in 2020.

On screen roles have been sparse in recent years. In 2018, he returned to Fox, the network that aired the single season of The Sinbad Show in 1993, for the live-action sitcom Rel starring Lil Rel Howery. The show made it 12 episodes before being cancelled in April of 2019.

Still, if you haven't seen Sinbad lately, there's a chance that you've heard him. In 2013 and 2014, he had a recurring voice role on cult favorite cartoon show Steven Universe playing Mister Smiley, the Beach City Funland mainstay and, in a meta twist, ex-comedian. Then, in 2017, he showed up on the Disney Junior animated series The Lion Guard as Uroho the baboon, a part that lasted two episodes.

Maybe the comedian's shortest lived job, however, was on The Celebrity Apprentice, where he was let go after just two episodes by not-yet-president Donald Trump in 2010. After being "you're fired" by the series host, Sinbad quipped to Oprah that he regretted not having said "you should fire your barber."
