Add Demetri Martin to the list of comedians who excel at playing sad, sad clowns. Fountains of Wayne’s new video for “Someone to Love†casts the Daily Show and local stand-up favorite as a sad-sack attorney living alone in Brooklyn, comically disconnected from his almost–soul mate next door. His hangdog features and floppy hair make us think that Spike Jonze should consider Martin the next time he needs a gently comic but deeply depressed leading man.
