Just talk show hosts in general, I'd say Jon Stewart is 1a or 1b with Conan O'Brien right next to him. In fairness, I never saw more than a tiny bit of kilborn as the host, but even though he had shitty writers and no control at CBS, there's just no way he can match the level Jon Stewart is at right now.
It's kind of scary to say that the political and social voice of a large portion today's young people is coming from a comedian...but In Jon We Trust, heh. Really though, I agree and enjoy how eloquently he can articulate his views, but much more so, his comedy is just superb. His wit is razor sharp and his silly but sardonic style is one that I admire and get a lot of laughs from on a regular basis.
