Hint 1: Clue Explanation
▼The clue is simply “Comedian,” but this gender-specific term, GAG MAN, seems to be more specific — referring either to a performer who specializes in gag humor, or the brains behind that performer, the often unsung writer of the jokes. I’d hazard a guess that plenty of gags actually have a woman in the writing room behind them. Speaking only for myself, of course, I’m fine with never taking the gag prefix in any role I ever fill.
