I wanted to be a serious actor, a dramatic actor. I thought that doing sitcoms was beneath me. Of course, the reality eventually set in that I had to pay the fucking bills. But I always thought of myself as an actor first. Actually, no. I’m a gateway to laughter. That sounds good, right? Sometimes I like to call myself Klown with a K. I’ll start sentences with, “It’s tremendously gratifying as Klown…” That’s my whole personage. Every time I say “as Klown,” it makes Amy barf.
