The World's Foremost Authority is 100 years old today. (http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/theater-arts/professor-irwin-corey-renowned-comic-turning-100-article-1.1881518)

Although he never did his political stuff on TV, he always been a committed leftist, yet Ayn Rand was a big fan of his. Go figure.

I thought he was 100 back on the Ed Sullivan show!  Always one of my favorites as a kid.

I used a picture of him in a recent Powerpoint show - depicting higher ed faculty.  No tomatoes were thrown.

Rand was a fan of "intellect", so that might have been enough to meet her criteria...?
