This needed to be said, so thanks @ebruenig for doing it: Comedians Are Funny, Not Public Intellectuals http://www.newrepublic.com/article/121956/stewart-and-colbert-are-no-substitute-intellectuals …
I'd add to what @ebruenig said that in many ways comedians reinforce status quo, rarely inviting dissidents, with aura of subversive.
