Neil deGrasse Tyson always impresses me. Whip smart and GREAT presence.

+1 for this Perk. I had my g/f watch a few episodes of Nova Science (I think that was what the show was) that he was in, and she was like "Wow.. That guy has some awesome charisma and is very smart." I had her wikipedia him, and she was impressed by his achievements. I really like watching him on t.v, because he seems to make learning "fun" due to the charisma he has and the fact that it seems he is -always- smiling 😀
 
He's a fucking idiot. I don't agree with Colbert or Stewart but I can see they have a smidgen of intelligence. Maher on the other hand is unfathomably stupid.

I have to say I agree with you. Maher is a fuckin moron. Stewart is fairly smart, Colbert is also a maroon!
 
Maher doesn't even present positions. All he does is cleverly insult people. Definitely not the smartest guy on TV. He's kind of like BOSE. He surrounds himself with inferior intellect to make himself look smart.

Michio Kaku... NDT as stated above a few times.
 
Given that we don't know them personally and therefore cannot pass conclusive personal judgment on any of them, I'd say Bill Maher is the smartest person on television.

I'm a big fan of Real Time.

LOL wow, what a retard. Anti-vaccine, alternative medicine retard Bill Maher is the smartest person on TV? You must be an idiot.

The only correct answer is Stephen Fry.
 
Glenn Beck. Bullshits his way into millions and laughing at the sheeple (in private) at the same time.
 
These guys certainly are no fools. I think Bill Maher is a dick and mostly obnoxious, but he certainly is no idiot.

Maher made a movie called Religulous and it's possibly the worst thing ever recorded. It's just an hour and a half of him arguing with random people. At one point he clearly loses an argument when a religious guy says Jesus can be 3 things at once just like water can be 3 physical states, so it cuts away from arguing and continues with him talking in the van about how that's not a great example. wtf?

Okay, I'm a fan of Maher, but smartest guy on TV? HAHAHHAHA.
