Acting's a tough business. If you're lucky enough to get a good role -- and perhaps find fame in it -- you have to keep up appearances at all times. Or else you might find yourself in the same spot as Isaiah Washington, who was out of job despite multiple apologies. What's he doing now?

After 10 episodes, Delaney was written out of the popular crime show, reportedly because of a lack of chemistry with a star.

Janet Hubert-Whitten
 Show: "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" 
Role: Aunt Viv

Rosie O'Donnell

Chris Engen
 Show: "The Young and the Restless" 
Character: Adam Newman


Engen, who played the son of Victor Newman on the show, quit last year over creative differences. Did he dislike a change in his character's sexual orientation?

Norm MacDonald
 Show: "Saturday Night Live" 
Character: Weekend Update host


The comedian took over the job from this "SNL" alum, but he didn't get to pass it on to his successor because he was fired. Was it because he wasn't funny enough?

Conan O'Brien

Show: "The Tonight Show" 
Role: Talk show host


In what likely is one of the messiest cast changes in talk show history, the old host took over "The Tonight Show" about a year after it was handed to O'Brien. How much did it cost NBC?
