Sinbad on Monday shared his first Instagram post since 2022 to share his happiness—and surprise—at the heartening response he was given at his first public appearance since suffering a stroke four years ago.
The 67-year-old comedian, who underwent multiple surgeries and had to learn to walk again, joined his castmates from A Different World via Zoom on Feb. 29 at the Atlanta University Center in Georgia, the first date in a 10-city tour that the sitcom alums are undertaking at historically Black colleges and universities.
“Man, that was so cool,” Sinbad says after watching a clip of the Atlanta crowd loudly cheering when he appeared on screen at the event. “It’s wild that the kids even know who I am,” he added. “That’s beautiful.”
