Ajester,joker,fool, orbuffoon is a specific type of entertainer (but not always) associated with theMiddle Ages. Jesters typically wore brightly colored clothing in amotley pattern. Their hats, sometimes called the cap ’n bells, cockscomb (obsolete coxcomb), were especially distinctive; made of cloth, they were floppy with three points (liliripes) each of which had ajingle bell at the end. The three points of the hat represent the asses ears and tail worn by jesters in earlier times. Other things distinctive about the jester were his incessant laughter and his mockscepter, known as a bauble or maharoof.

Selected biography

Jon Cryer
Jonathan Niven "Jon" Cryer (born April 16, 1965) is anAmericanactor,screenwriter andfilm producer. He is the son of actress/singerGretchen Cryer. He made his motion picture debut by starring in the 1984 romantic comedyNo Small Affair, but gained greater fame by starring as "Duckie" in theJohn Hughes filmPretty in Pink. In 1998 he finished writing and producing the independent filmWent to Coney Island on a Mission From God... Be Back by Five, which was well received. Even though Cryer gained some fame by starring in these movies, he had not foundtelevision success; the shows he had starred in (The Famous Teddy Z,Partners andThe Trouble with Normal) all did not last very long, until, in 2003, he was cast to portrayAlan Harper on theCBS hit comedy seriesTwo and a Half Men, oppositeCharlie Sheen. To date, the actor has received three Emmy Award nominations for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series for his work on the show.
