Will someone please explain the clown?


i missed the first episode. WHY does she have a dying clown in her closet?

reply

All that is ever said about "Why" is that the clown was part of the lease agreement. It's just accepted that he's there.

reply

I don't think he's dying, just old and aging. I think he's great.

I've heard Tom Poston and Jennifer Finnegan mention that Clown is dying (although I'm sure a very slow death) in some of the interviews.

reply

actually one of the writers was living in an aprtment in new york and was there with a lot of other young people. But the condition for the subletting was that they had to let some guy live in a walk-in closet.
But they said it was much bigger than the one in the show.
Personnaly I thought they were stealing from half baked

reply

Yeah, they even say he's dying on the show. I feel kind of sorry for him cuz no one really pays attention to him and just calls him "Clown" as if he didn't have a name.
