People keep asking if I'm back, and I haven't really had an answer.

today we'll be taking a look at some of the greatest and absolute worst attempted celebrity comebacks ever attempted.

You're gonna need stitches and antibiotics, and you're gonna have a hell of a scar.

After years playing minor roles in comedy movies and TV shows, Jennifer Coolidge got her breakthrough portraying Stifler's mom in the American Pie film franchise.

She continued to enjoy success in the comedy genre, with notable roles in Legally Blonde and A Cinderella Story.

People go to school to get smarter so that they can get a job.

You already have a job, so it's like skipping a step.

However, after narrowly missing out on a lead role in Desperate Housewives, Coolidge's stardom waned.

Although she played a supporting role in The CBS sitcom 2 Broke Girls, her immense potential remained largely untapped.

But then came a little project called the White Lotus.

The HBO anthology series propelled Coolidge back into the Spotlight in her 60s and earned her several prestigious accolades and including her first Emmy, Golden Globe, and

Despite coming from an uber successful and unfathomably rich family, Paris Hilton made a name for herself through modeling and reality tv.

She notably starred on the Simple Life alongside Nicole Richie from 2003 to 2007.

While her dumb, blonde, spoiled Persona was obviously played up for the camera, the show made her insanely famous.

Most of that fame came at her own expense, but she clearly didn't care.

And while she's still making bank through her numerous business ventures today, Hilton's public spotlight has faded.

She's dabbled in DJing in recent years and went back to reality TV with Viceland's Hollywood Love Story.

She was also the subject of a YouTube original documentary titled this is Paris in 2020.

Natasha Lyonne Natasha Lyonne started acting as a child and gained fame in the late 90s and early 2000s through various teen comedies.

This included films like the popular American Pie series, as well as the indie classic But I'm a Cheerleader.

However, her career suffered a setback in 2000 when she was arrested for driving under the influence.

That kicked off a string of controversies and legal problems related to substance use disorder.

About a decade later, Lyonne's fortunes began to change when she landed a role on the Netflix series Orange is the New Black.

This marked a turning point, paving the way for her involvement in a slew of successful comedy dramas like Russian Doll and Poker Face.

You are the worst waitress I've ever had.

And I ran a Cracker Barrel in the Green Zone.

That last part was unnecessary, but thank you for your service.

Vanilla Ice became a worldwide megastar with Ice Ice Baby.

The song was an enormous hit, peaking at number one in eight different countries, including the United States and Zimbabwe.

In fact, it made history by becoming the first hip hop single to reach the top of the Billboard Hot 100.

Ice took a break from music in 1993, but when he returned, his subsequent records received little fanfare.

He did find success with his DIY network show, the Vanilla Ice Project, thanks to his experience in Home Improvement, Some People Got no reason.

In 2011, he released his comeback album, WTF?

Vanilla Ice hasn't charted on the Hot 100 as a lead artist since Cool as Ice hit 81 in 1991.

At the age of 12, Ke Huy Kwan won the role of a lifetime, starring opposite Harrison Ford as Short Round in Steven Spielberg's Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.

I think that somebody believes the good luck croc from this village.

He quickly followed this up with a part as one of the titular kids in 1985's the Goonies.

Don't you guys remember from the attic, the news article?

See, they said the last guy who went looking for the witch stuff.

They said he went in, but he never came back out.

Despite this promising start, Kwan faced challenges securing acting work in the US this led him to transition into roles as a stunt choreographer and assistant director.

Inspired by the success of Crazy Rich Asians, Kwan returned to acting after a 19 year hiatus and soon landed a significant role in Everything Everywhere, all at Once when I saw so many, the entire cast made up of Asian actors, and

I go, wow, I wish I was up there with them, seriously.

And so the idea of getting back into acting, that's where it started.

His performance received universal acclaim and ultimately earned him an Academy Award for best Supporting Actor.

Katherine Heigl Another big 2000s star, Katherine Heigl first gained some fame in 1999, starring as Isabelle Evans on the WB's Roswell.

She rode this role to greater success, including her Emmy winning performance on Grey's Anatomy and movies like knocked up and 27 dresses.

That time would prove the height of her career.

She's since starred in many movies, but none of them were very popular or that good.

Most of Heigl's work can be found on television.

The mid to late 2010s saw her star in State of Affairs, Doubt and Suits.

The first two were canceled after just one season, and her role in Suits lasted two.

I'm upset that because if you have any issue with me, you should come to me and not go around me.

Heigl is still receiving steady work, but the recent TV comeback fails to match her Grey's Anatomy Heights.

I want you to tell all your friends about me.

The plot of 2014's Birdman closely mirrored the life of its lead actor, Michael Keaton.
