Before I got rid of my tv I watched Rodney on Celebrity Rehab. A lot of the celebs seem to be maladjusted adolescents and a-holes but Rodney was really likable. It was easy to root for him. I sure wish he was able to overcome his demons and I’m saddened by his passing.
Surrounded by actors, models and rock stars, King was the sole "accidental" celeb. He didn't ask for fame, it just came to him. IIRC, he was working for a towing company prior to going on the show. The film crew filmed him at work having DTs so bad he was heaving his guts out until someone gave him a bottle of beer to make it go away. That's alcoholism.
