Yeah, and just being a comedian makes it harder even without the connections between his jokes and real life. An actor or musician can just do what they do and see if people are willing to accept them.
As a comedian you're whole career is based on walking out to a bunch of smiling faces ready with anticipation to laugh at your jokes. And that connection is KEY to jokes going over. A crowd of people off put to varying degrees by what you've done (even if they've paid to come see you) or just feeling awkward looking at you is a disastrous way to try to come back.
I guess he could just start with a small screen/film project to remove the face to face connection and go from there.
