"Everybody's a comedian", the old stand-up line goes.
But not everyone's a good daddy.
In this age of full revelation in the interest of gaining or re-gaining fame and fortune, it should come as no surprise that Andrew "Dice" Clay is now portraying himself as a reformed reprobate who's now fully focused on fatherhood.

Don't be surprised if he winds up on some random cable channel starring in a semi-real TV series depicting his struggles as a single parent.
"WTF", some producer's probably text after reading USA Today's recent feature on Clay.
After all, a similar ploy worked rather well for the late Bernie Mac. His transformation from one of the most profane comics on the planet into a family-friendly figure was working well; right up until he died of natural causes in (year).
But the notion of Clay playing the "Ward Cleaver" role is a harder pill to swallow.
We'll know in time if his re-set button, at age 53, really works. If Clay is launching a comeback, it shouldn't be on the backs of the kids he got custody of after a messy divorce.
