Parenthetical comment

I believe the answer is:

aside

(Other definitions for aside that I've seen before include "Whispered comment" , "(Turn) off main path" , "Privately, apart" , "Separately" , "Remark by an actor, directly to audience say" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times, the King Feature Syndicate and the Universal.
