@yellowpepsi3 A straight man in comedy is the one who reacts to the jokes . . . straight-faced. The comedian in the team who is not outrageous and zany but has a cool response to someone else acting zany.
what does she mean that mark is actually playing a straight man??? i thought he was straight ... and married... to a lady... thats kinda mean of the interviewer
When talking about comedy, a straight man means a character who is more serious in nature, like a more realistic character as opposed to Balki's comedic and exaggerated character.
