Your Definition
A euphemism for the practice of some professional comedians to wade into serious discussions on political, economic and or/ social issues and take firm stances, only to fall back on the excuse that they're "just a comedian" whenever their views are challenged or refuted. Usually used as "clown nose on/clown nose off" to illustrate the switch a comedian performs between trying to be taken seriously as a pundit and trying to deflect any actual debate by claiming to be a jokester.
