OK, I've put off my final pick for way too long too.
The Don Lapre Appreciation Society selects for the
Wildcard #2 category, "the coolest talk show on the planet,"
The Henry Rollins Show
Official site:
http://www.ifc.com/henryrollins
"We work in a completely uncensored environment, without the constraints of conventional network programming. Hopefully, this allows for candor and spontaneity from our guests and perhaps makes our show somewhat different than the usual talk show. I don't spend much time in front of a television. I try to make a show that I would watch."
- Henry Rollins.

The Henry Rollins Show is a weekly
talk show hosted by

I sure hope this show comes back, I've watched every episode more than I care to admit.
If you've never seen it, it's worth searching "those places" that you usually search...
