It's tough to separate the man from his role on The Colbert Report, as it's much more common these days to see him in character, but Colbert is obviously smart, intuitive, and yet lighthearted about the news and his work. In the news satire racket, this seems to be the perfect recipe.
I have great admiration and respect for Stephen Colbert. He clearly has a talent for improvisation, imitation, and scripted comedy. It can't be easy to play a character drawn from a variety of newsmen, left and right, coming off as so flawed, and yet still appeal to audiences four nights a week. It just can't.

Since Cesar Millan has no formal education in animal behavior or training, his methods are based on his own experience and observations. Nevertheless, his passion, charisma, and ability to get results make him the ideal host for a show like Dog Whisperer.
In the course of his show and in his fieldwork, Cesar Millan has clearly made a positive impact on many households, and he prides himself on the fact that he has saved the lives of many dogs deemed too aggressive to be rehabilitated. However, his work would be stronger if it included more scientific scrutiny and explanation of his techniques, not just for the sake of his nonspecialist television audience, but to be taken seriously by animal professionals as well.
