sitcom star
Funny show headliner
A sitcom star is an actor known primarily for their role in a situation comedy—a television format built around recurring characters in comedic scenarios.
The term often implies someone whose fame peaked with or remains tied to a particular show: He's basically a washed-up sitcom star doing car dealership commercials now.
Some sitcom stars transcend the label; others become permanently associated with a single character.
