Why We Don't Hear From Sinbad Anymore

In the 1980s and '90s, David Adkins achieved massive popularity with his keen observational and relationship comedy under the stage name Sinbad. His specials ran on cable constantly, he frequently did routines on the talk show circuit, and he was a regular on television and in film. These days, however...well, he's not. In fact, Sinbad's making more headlines lately for appearing in movies that never actually existed, rather than landing any new leading roles. Here are some reasons why we don't hear from Sinbad anymore...
