The Seldom Killer:

You need someone who is posh, properly posh though, not just moneyed with a good education and a sense of self entitlement. It's the sort of self entitlement that has been handed down for generation. They then need to be able to spout righteous indignation, especially when saying the word "poo". That's poo, mind you, not poop or shit or any other fecal descriptor. It needs to be said with a slightly extended second o, as if they're savouring the disgust the very thought gives them.
Frankly, America falls at the posh hurdle, you just don't do it very well and just can't see that it actually has a translation in American culture. I suspect it's because you don't understand tea.

--- End quote ---
No.
It's not that the man isn't a great comedian, but no.
calenlass:
I don't think we're going to find any clones who just happen to have American accents, though. I mean, it would be nice, but we have to work with what we've got, and Steve Colbert is the only person I can think of who would probably be able to rant right back at David Mitchell.
GarandMarine:
Steven Colbert is an amateur at ranting. George Carlin might be gone, but Lewis Black is still alive.
calenlass:
George Carlin would have been my pick, but I was trying to go with possible scenarios.
Also, I don't really find Lewis Black funny, but that's my personal preference.
How would Wanda Sykes do in a panel format?
