Goddard said he had been working "80 hours straight" on the set of A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, which has been running since Sept. 5. "I had a head injury when I was younger," he said, "and when I am fatigued I sometimes have aphasia, which affects my speech. I was getting a little wobbly, they asked me how I was, and my answer was a little disjointed. They told me to go home and feel better, but then I found out I'd been fired."
