I've thought that of many talk show hosts.  One somewhat surprising  
standout was the beloved David Brudnoy.  When he had guests on (which  
was most of the time), he was intelligent, probing, and a great  
listener.  When he was on by himself, I was often shocked by how  
nasty and boring he could be.  He'd rant against "Bubba" and lazy  
schoolkids like a one-note Salem network hack.  Or maybe that is just  
another example of how "entertainment value" translates to "agreement."
