Stephen Fry

If you've never watched A Bit of Fry and Laurie or Jeeves & Wooster, then I don't know what to say. It's a crime if you're only familiar with Hugh Laurie from the American show House.

Unfortunately, Stephen Fry hasn't gotten quite the same recognition in the States as has his pal, Hugh. That's a shame. His movie Wilde is a quiet masterpiece, and his British television shows Last Chance to See and Stephen Fry in America are witty, urbane travel documentaries. His podcasts are among the most popular in Britain.

Here is one of Fry's podcasts, in which he expresses his irritation at overly punctilious grammarians.
