This guy is really funny. Showtime has been running one of his standup routines from this year.

"Stanhope appeared on the FX television show Louie as Eddie, a fictional comedian that Louis C.K. knew 20 years earlier when they first started performing, in the season 2 episode titled "Eddie". It first aired on August 11, 2011."

"In 2003 and 2004, Stanhope co-hosted the fifth and sixth seasons of The Man Show withJoe Rogan. He hosted his own radio show on SIRIUS Satellite Radio in 2005.[2] That year, Stanhope hosted Girls Gone Wild: America Uncovered. When asked what it was like working with Girls Gone Wild creator Joe Francis, Stanhope admitted "He's pure, unadulterated evil,"[3] and "The most awful human being I've ever met in all of my time in the entertainment business." [4]

"In cooperation with the mayor of Reykjavik, comedian Jón Gnarr, Stanhope has scheduled a performance in Iceland's only maximum security prison, Litla-Hraun, for September 25th 2011. Fans who want to watch the show would have to commit a crime; for them he invented The Stanhope Defense."

"In August 2008, Stanhope endorsed Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, citing his disappointment with the libertarian candidates and a desire to have "a strong, handsome black man in the White House", as well as referring to himself as "the head of the one-man Libertarians for Obama group.""

Stanhope has the ultimate bullshit detector gene. He HAS to see how full of shit many Libertarians are on an array of subjects.

In the recent "Vanity Fair" Louis C.K. says he admires Obama. For those with a dark sense of humor, America with a black president is kind of funny. Obama's re-election must be driving the racists (both overt and closeted varieties) batshit crazy. See the Tea Party.

Dave Attell is darkly funny too.
