Combs filmed his final episode in 1994. He left with a revealing joke after a contestant failed to get any points in the final round. [“Thought I was a loser till you walked up here,” he said to the contestant, “and you made me feel like a man.” As soon as shooting wrapped, he walked off the set and drove home without even a goodbye, leaving the contestants celebrating on stage without him.](https://youtu.be/-GRKyIoUgGs?t=1168)
Do you listen to The Lowe Post?
> Combs was deeply in debt at the time of his death; only after his suicide did his widow Debbie learn of his desperate financial difficulties. At the height of his career, he earned close to $1 million per year, but reportedly had trouble managing his money.
In 1996 1 mill a year was a colossal amount of money! Hell it is an incredible salary now!
> In addition to his two failed comedy clubs in Hamilton, Combs owed $100,000 in back taxes and $150,000 in loans and credit cards, and also had a $470,000 mortgage.
