We've finally created the modern clown, but the method is disappointing to say the least. In today's episode, Sunshine and Alix talk about minstrel shows and how they're so immensely tied in to what the modern clown looks like. This is one of those episodes that's fun yet super unfortunate. Sorry, and also not sorry.
