I would like to know who PF considers to be great public speakers. I'm talking about people like George Carlin, Carl Sagan, and Henry Rollins.

I recently looked up a video for "Mad Stan vs Batman" and found out that the voiceover is done by Henry Rollins so I decided to look up a few videos by him and I've been hooked ever since... I think Rollins is the first comedian that has made me cry with tears of joy.

So who does PF consider to be great public speakers?
