He then later reappeared in "Sexual Healing", in which he is at the Karne Institute for Sex Addiction, claiming to be a sex addict, a reference to his recent sex scandal, mentioning "having sex with employees". He learned that his sex drive was caused by the Wizard Alien and partied after its death. He is among the other celebrities to sue South Park in "200" and "201", though he has no lines of his own.
He makes yet another appearance in "Funnybot" wherein he is one of the many comedians taking South Park Elementary hostage, though he has no lines. This marked his fifth appearance, but in addition, made him the celebrity to make the most appearances on South Park with no change in appearance/design, with the exception of Saddam Hussein. (Many other celebrities who have reappeared had design changes).
