Just seen him on Celebrity Mastermind.
He really doesn't look (or sound) well.
My guess would be that he's had a stroke - but can't find anything to confirm this.
Does anyone know?
Smith ended up seriously ill in hospital in 1999 after consuming more than 50 Nurofen tablets, the culmination of a growing addiction to the pills. He said at the time that the pressures of film work were a contributing factor, along with a desperate need to ease the pain caused by gout. Partly as a result, he agreed to sell Talkback, but Smith admitted to restlessness: "I said to my wife that I needed to do something to get me out of the house".He really doesn't look (or sound) well.

Wikipedia busy tonight eh boys.
Heh, that's the first place I looked.But there's no recent illness which could have caused his condition tonight.
Perhaps he's just got a heavy cold.
Has he had some kind of oral cancer? Snoring surgery gone wrong?
