You just ruined your own argument. The whole reason he has to state he is just a comedian is exactly because people expect his show to be more then a comedy and satire show when he makes these confrontations.
I didn't ruin anything. Some people expect his show to be more than comedy. Not all, some. He levvies his "I'm just a comedian" far more often than just the times when, for example, the guys on crossfire and this cramer guy tell him to do some reporting.

Ever see the angry guy being restrained by his friends at the party, yelling at some bloke you lucky they holding me back, you lucky!!!! That's Jon.
