David Cross is funny as hell. So why isn't he laughing?

A A A Comments By Robert Wilonsky Thursday, Nov 21 2002
...continued from page 2

To his cult, David Cross is the funniest man in the world. But the cult doesn't offer distribution deals; the cult doesn't allow Cross to write and direct and star in movies of his own making. And the cult does not pay for food.

David Cross:In a perfect world, I'd be doing what Ben Stiller does, I guess. I'd be doing what Woody Allen does. I'd be doing what Albert Brooks does. I don't have millions of dollars in a distribution deal, and no one's willing to gamble on me. Not yet. That goes back to why I take all that kind of shitty work and why I keep doing this stuff--because if I don't, I don't work and I don't eat.

Shut Up or put out: When not discussing the pope's sexual proclivities, David Cross is livin' large with the ladies.
