Sinbad at Burnsville Performing Arts Center
Rumors of Sinbad’s death proved to be greatly Wikipediaed in 2007, but the resultant publicity—along with his public debunking of Hillary Clinton’s “Bosnia sniper” story—surprisingly breathed new life into the comic’s career, giving him the biggest boost he’s had in years. It’s not as though Sinbad has exactly disappeared since his mid-’90s heyday. He still appears in bit parts—mostly in straight-to-video films and low-rated sitcoms, though his appearance on It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia was pretty awesome—and Comedy Central even put him on its list of the 100 Greatest Stand-Ups Of All Time. It’s just that Sinbad’s unchallenging, family-friendly observations seem to come from a more innocent, optimistic age—albeit one that’s nice to retreat to from time to time.
