I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'comedian' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'a job reading things in other people's homes' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'a' could be 'an' and 'an' is located in the answer.
'people's' could be 'as' (A is an example) and 'as' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'has' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
