While talking on the ‘All Out with Jon Dean’ show, he shared that he was quite unhappy while doing the show.

I was stressed.”Parsons also admitted that despite all the love, popularity, and accolades the show brought him, “I wouldn’t do that again and for any amount of money … it was stressful and miserable at times. I made myself miserable.”“I felt that there were so many plates I was supposed to be keeping in the air and that the success and the good things of life that were happening were only due to this overworking… discipline and whatever. Maybe to a degree that was true. I don’t know. I can’t say because that’s how I was,” he also shared.Parsons further added that many factors played into his health deteriorating at the time, including his work ethic and his obsession with certain things, causing him to miss out on many moments in his life. Addressing his ‘obsession,’ the actor mentioned, “I had a list of things basically in my head that I had to get done to be comfortable and know that I could do my job right, which I don’t think was true.”
