There were complaints of him being verbally abusive on set, using offensive nicknames for female staff members, and being touchy and huggy that made people uncomfortable.

The network investigated the allegations and determined they were warranted enough to part ways with him.

Supposedly the situation was reported as "mutual" but they most likely canned him for inappropriate behavior after the complaints.

I still maintain that he successfully pulled a George Costanza and got himself fired because he didn't want to do the show anymore.

Because he was being a creep. He too agreed with the general consensus that the show was getting kinda shitty, and repetitive and boring, and his solution to being bored was to molest his coworkers. “As a joke.”
