end man
In the entertainment world, an end man is traditionally a performer who is positioned at the end of a line or row in minstrel shows, which were popular in the 19th and early 20th centuries in the U.S. They typically acted as the comedians in the show, engaging in exchanges with the interlocutor or host positioned in the middle. This term is often considered inappropriate and racially insensitive today due to its origins and associations with blackface minstrelsy, a form of entertainment that demeaned and stereotyped African Americans. In a broader context, an end man can refer to a person who completes or closes a particular event or activity. This term may be used in various contexts such as sports or business, referring to the person positioned at the end of a formation or process. The responsibilities of the end man can differ based on the specific context.

Examples of end man in a Sentence
The cycle of the machine is now coming to an end. Man has learned much in the hard discipline and the shrewd, unflinching grasp of practical possibilities that the machine has provided in the last three centuries: but we can no more continue to live in the world of the machine than we could live successfully on the barren surface of the moon.
