Episode summary
When Danny and Chris gain local success with their comedy act, Comedian Sandy Webb, who is running a comedy workshop at the School of the Arts, steals their act and prompts the break up of the pair and Danny's dismissal of comedy. Reggie starts joking around when she realizes that people are taking her portrayal of Lady Macbeth as a joke.

Fun and reviews
Strong on comedy and story, this departure episode weaved 3 stories together beautifully. The show was compelling, and the music, though great, took a backseat. Written by Adam Leslie and directed by Donald Rieker, \"The Comedian\" was an unusually smart episode, that appealed more to adults than the average FAME episode did.
I wish there had been more collaboration on the part of these two, but the shoe was cancelled soon after
