On a serious note, what's up with Martin? I remembered he had that sexual harassment issue on his show. I wondered if he had some mental illness or anything. Because he was so funny and successful but really disappeared for more than a decade (his IMDB in that period is pretty sparse). I looked up his wiki and it says this:
--
In July 1995, while on the set filming
A Thin Line Between Love and Hate, Lawrence lashed out in a violent rage and was then hospitalized at
Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.
[20]
On May 8, 1996, he became increasingly erratic and was arrested after he brandished a
pistol in the middle of an intersection on
Ventura Boulevard in Los Angeles, screaming, "They're trying to kill me!" He was again hospitalized, with his public-relations agent citing exhaustion and dehydration as the reasons for this episode.
[1]
In January 1997, Lawrence's
Martin co-star
Tisha Campbell-Martin filed a lawsuit against him, alleging
sexual harassment and abuse both on and off set.
[21] By April 1997, Campbell had settled the lawsuit, and returned to appear in the last two episodes of the series.
[22]
In March 1997, Lawrence was arrested after punching a man in a Hollywood nightclub.
[1]
During August 1999, Lawrence slipped into a three-day coma after collapsing from heat exhaustion while jogging in 100 °F (38 °C) heat in preparation for
Big Momma's House while wearing heavy clothing and a "plastic suit."
[1][23] He recovered in the hospital after nearly dying due to a body temperature of 107 °F (42 °C), his breathing assisted by a ventilator.

Definitely some mental illness present. I think a lot of the antipsychotic medications make you gain weight. And I'm sure he's depressed eating. Just looks like he's not quite all there.
