There was a scandal with a radio show where he was a guest or a DJ and they pulled a phone call prank that turned out to be rather cruel. If you ever watched the program Fawlty Towers, Sachs played Manuel, the Spanish-only speaking waiter. He is now elderly and his granddaughter figured in the call. It was stupid.

Brand and everyone else in that event has apparently moved on. He sobered up and is an actor in addition to the comedy, and using his brains now in writing commentary.
