Page "Christopher Guest" Paragraph 21

Guest is sometimes off-putting in interviews and promotional appearances ( having been described by reviewer Warren Etheredge as, " rude, condescending and intolerable "), as well as with people who have met him outside of the work environment because contrary to expectations of him as a comedian he often seems deadpan, even dour.

Of this, Guest has said, " People want me to be funny all the time.

They think I'm being funny no matter what I say or do and that's not the case.

I rarely joke unless I'm in front of a camera.

It's not what I am in real life.

It's what I do for a living.
