It’s Jon Stewart, whom I regard as the funniest man on Earth (and one of the smartest*).
By the way, for those who believe that state-owned media is inevitably left-wing... The Jon Stewart Show (yes, I know it’s really the Daily Show) used to be shown on our (government-owned) ABC network, but has been dropped from the schedule. My guess is that it was too “controversial” (translation – too left-wing).
* Oh, and (need I add?) one of the sexiest.
