    So anyone else a huge fan of this guy?
    I can't get enough of him, his delivery is perfect and his jokes always have me chuckling no matter how many times I've heard him?

    he's the worst on the daily show, by a clear mile... but I think that's because they only have him on for the stupid segments.

    I liked the.. was it radiohead video he did? hated the song, but funny video

    I have to say I really think this guy is great! Seemingly random observations, delivered in a deadpan style with excellent timing. His act always seems to have a child-like vision of the world in an adult context. Brilliant.

    I hate The Daily Show, just don't see why everyone worships the host. I liked the bits I've scene Demetri do on it. Like Video Resumes and the Credit report.

    I saw the show "If I..." which he recorded for the BBC. The majority of it is just him philosophising rather than telling jokes which is fine but not exactly funny. His one liners are great though, from the same mold as Steve Wright and Mitch Hedberg but uniquely his own.

    The Daily Show is great, though it took me a while to warm to it. Have only seen him do the Schmaily Show skit on it which was genuinely funny. They seem to use him sparingly which is good because I don't think his style marries with the format too well.

    Ah man this guy is brilliant! Have to check out more of his stuff. He's very much in the vein of Mitch Hedberg and Jimmy Carr.
