Lewis Black
Event on 2011-11-17 19:30:00
Lewis Black's meteoric rise to the pantheon of today's stand-up comedians has put him in the company of Jerry Seinfeld, Jon Stewart, and the late George Carlin. He's been a fixture on Comedy Central for more than a decade, starting with his rants on "The Daily Show" (Black in Black) and including TV specials and four albums for the network's record label – one of which, "The Carnegie Hall Performance," won the 2007 Grammy for the year's Best Comedy Album. There have been HBO specials, regular appearances on "Inside the NFL" and CNN, movie roles as an actor ("Man of the Year"), and he's even found time to write 40 plays and two best-selling books: "Nothing's Sacred" and "Me of Little Faith."

George Carlin would be my first guess, too.
Second would be Flight of the Conchords; they have blown up in popularity.
Finally caught up on Report, Daily Show, Modern Family, and Girls. Phew!
I wonder if we can count on Jon to help us determine the difference between news and — especially when we consider that Jon runs an show. Granted, Jon try to pass himself off as a news show. However, many people do craft their understanding of world events based on his show. I wonder if perhaps we depend overmuch on (and to guide us through the morass that is TV news.
Just a thought.
