I believe the answer is:

comedian

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

'etc' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'fool entertaining tv' is the wordplay.
'fool' becomes 'con'.
'entertaining' indicates putting letters inside.
'tv' becomes 'media' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'con' enclosing 'media' is 'COMEDIAN'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for comedian that I've seen before include "One tells jokes" , "Hope, perhaps" , "Humorist" , "scream?" , "Professional teller of jokes" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
