The post included photos of Wiff alongside co-stars like Jake Johnson, with whom he worked on 2023’s Self Reliance and Robinson, who re-shared the post alongside broken heart emojis on his Instagram Story. The comedian and actor also shared a clip from his Netflix show featuring Wiff, in which he asks Robinson to promise him “a million times that you will never do another rule.”
According to a GoFundMe organized by Wiff’s friends, the cult favorite performer had a recurrence of the disease a couple of years ago. “I’m not sure how to respond. I’m back in the hospital again dealing with side effects of the cancer I was diagnosed with late last year and have no idea when or if I will recover,” he said at the time. No additional updates were shared as of February 2024.
In addition to the absurdist sketch comedy series I Think You Should Leave, Wiff has appeared in scores of TV shows: Moonlighting, Night Court (both the original ’80s iteration and its current reboot), L.A.
