I don't think he needed to be happy to perform comedy; look at Steve Martin.
Rather, I think he just wanted to leave because he couldn't find the energy within him to do comedy at the level he'd set as his precedent (He was the closest thing to Dangerfield to ever pick up a stick, and at a shockingly young age).
