Aha, that may sound more accurate answer than I gave.  But I would try to 
add correction.  He's not learned how to be an asshole.  His jokes are
almost always criticizing one.  He would have learned how to pretend an
intelligent trickstar, maybe from Beat Takeshi.

The former should be Peter Barakan(sp?) from GB, and he's a critic for
pop-music.  He once appeared in a program introducing videos on hit-chart.
He won't appear as a commentator in news-show or debate-show like Kent, 
Kent and Dave do.  I appreciate his attitude.
