Lewis Black Calm and Collected

I've always feared that Lewis Black could explode any moment from an excess of unadulterated rage.

Thankfully, he isn't always like that. Black's biting stage persona is very much at odds with the thoughtful commentary he quietly provides here, though the man's intelligence is always on display.

While this interview is filled with pleasant exchanges, I really dislike the interviewer, Jian Ghomesi.

He's Canadian which by itself is just fine, but he seems like one of those people who tries so very hard to be perceived as hip and cool.

He seems to be fairly popular based on a quick glance at most comments online, but I've seen a handful of interviews where he seemed out of his element.

The most glaring example of his uber cool is what appears to be a mid-nineties brick of a laptop sitting nearby during interviews. It's a wonder the show doesn't come grinding to a halt with a Windows 95 blue screen.

None the less, Ghomesi gets hooked up with awesome guests so his interviews are still worth a listen.

Jon Stewart Discusses 'Bizarrely Un-eccentric Billionaire' Warren Buffett

I rather enjoy Jon Stewart and his playful, yet significant observations on politics, news and society as a whole. Often, they're as enlightening and disturbing as the real news.

He's certainly liberal and enjoys, perhaps as much as I do, making fun of Fox "News", but I still consider Stewart to be a voice of reason. He points out the outrageous aspects of everything happening in the world around us.

Unless you spend your days locked in a basement watching CSPAN and every cable news network around like Stewart's staff does, you can't possibly discover all the golden sound bites that fall through the cracks.

The Daily Show performs the "watch dog" function that mainstream media is supposed to handle. That job once was ably performed by network news anchors and major writers at big time papers, but the number of old-school reporters is dwindling and the archetypal reporter isn't nearly as prevalent as it once was.

Ultimately, that was just a long-winded way of saying watch this clip. Jon Stewart rules.
