Press guy feeds daily line on popular comedy star (7,7)

I believe the answer is:

charlie chaplin

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

'press guy feeds' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'daily line on popular comedy star' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'daily' could be 'char' (I've seen this before) and 'char' is present in the answer.
'line' could be 'l' and 'l' is found within the answer.
'popular' could be 'in' and 'in' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?
