See, what I don't get it is why there's the sense that he's being "more" than a comedian. Every so often, I get it, like with Jim Cramer, but for the most part, he's still firmly a comedian. Comedy, and satire especially, has always had a foundation of pointing out hypocrisy and absurdity in power. I just don't know when making incisive, funny points stopped being comedy, you know? "Just a comedian" is not a pejorative, IMO. There's a lot involved in being a comedian.
