Seeing this here just clued me in to why I love this channel so much.

There has always been a "cultural" association that inteliect has to be complete. That to be educated is to be well spoken. The fact that there is the inherit counter point between knowledge and delivery makes it entrancing.

The accent is a bit of a shtick. In a short news piece from a Chicago TV station his accent is much more subdued. Not surprising as I've never heard someone with that thick of a Chicago accent outside an SNL skit.

Wouldn't you adapt your speaking tone and accent to the context? I did the one time I went on TV.
