Three experts on being funny on television. Jerry Seinfeld describes the awkwardness of his “coming out” to his parents as a comedian: “I’m funny. And I want to live a funny life style.” Jon Hamm also reflects on the comedians he looked to for cultural mooring as a child—and the comic parts that have helped him get his life back from Don Draper. Plus, Tracee Ellis Ross talks about the ways in which black women are and aren’t allowed to be funny, and how she subverts the gender roles on the already subversive “Black-ish.”
