@kevin_nealon I'll agree to much breaking of character is not funny, but it happens all the time in TV & movies, they just edit it out, 99%. That's why we have blooper reels.
@kevin_nealon Big fan of yours, but got to disagree on this one. From "Carol Burnett and Friends" to SNL & beyond. Watching professional actors lose it, can sometimes be more funny. Watching Tim Conway make Harvey Korman or even Carol Burnett (who hated losing it) lose it was priceless.
@kevin_nealon Wathing Heidi Gardner break character in the Bevis & Butthead skit or the cast breaking character when Will Ferrell walks into a conference room in a American Flag Speedo are certainly worth the price of admission.
