He tries the whole time to be funny but I don't think that I have ever even smirked at anything he says.

Walter Williams > Steyn

Walter Williams has retired. His health started going downhill after his wife died.
Steyn is very witty. I LOL when he is subbing. Not so with Rush.

I haven't listened to Rush in a long time, but I always though Steyn was the most entertaining guest host he had.

I think Steyn is brilliant, articulate, and about the funniest white man I've ever heard. I remarked to myself about 30 minutes ago what a nice job Rush did with this substitute pick. Steyn is unapologetic and fiercely pragmatic.

I like Mark Steyn and his cheeky humor.

Sorry bub cause Steyn is pretty much his permanent guest host. He's a funny guy. He kills the left with comedy and it's always fun to hear a foreign bastard with an accent express conservative views.

I do. In fact I often enjoy him more than Rush.

For my money Mark Steyn is the best sub-host in politalk radio. It's a shame you don't like him. Unfortunately the lose is yours not his.

Meh. I find Rush to be funnier. Steyn just seems so obvious and never turns off the 'humor'.

When Rush was gone to the dopehead hospital he had a guy guest host a few times that I actually thought was the best of all. But that was years ago and I forgot his name

Which to do find funnier/more entertaining: Will Ferrell or Monty Python?

Well, you're wrong. Audio content was one of my jobs. Steyn has been on for 1.5 hours so far. 70 percent of his commentary was not funny at all. Very serious stuff. 30 percent was spontaneous rant that was ripping.

I've liked Steyn in the past but I do feel like recently when I listen to him he basically does the humor/satire thing the ENTIRE time. Like every sentence. It's okay from time to time, but after a while it's just annoying and even seems like a bit of a crutch and he starts repeating himself a lot as he streams his witty barbs. He is very smart and witty with some good points, but it's a little too "cute" for me in large doses.

Mark Steyn makes Rush look good, like a fatty standing next to a 7 making her look like a 10.
