Moshe Kasher has been diagnosed with tonsil cancer, the comedian revealed on Instagram.
“Three months ago … I found a bump on my tonsil,” Kasher posted on Sunday. “It was cancer, which did not rule so hard.”
Kasher, a stand-up comic who recently appeared in “The Pitt,” was in Savannah, Georgia, at the time, working on the new Judd Apatow and Glen Powell movie “The Comeback King.”
On Friday, Kasher underwent a procedure in Los Angeles, joking that “a Jewish surgery robot at Cedars Sinai yanked my jaw open for five hours and cut it out and then slit my throat and dissected my neck, leaving me with a hardcore neck scar which will make people reluctant to street fight me.”
Kasher said his tongue was “clamped and yanked” out of his mouth. It’s “so swollen and bruised, I sound like ‘I Am Sam,'” he said, referencing the Sean Penn character.
