BERNIE MACWhatever success I’ve had, I always like to top it.
BERNIE MACI don’t care about how I look; I’m dedicated to the laughs. You know, I used to be a clown, so – my name was Smoothie the Clown. All the training I had, all my training is geared toward making people laugh, and I didn’t care about being cool.
