Comes Off as Very Intelligent and Well-read
I mostly know Jason from the podcast "How Did This Get Made?" and I have to say that he comes off as a smart guy. He's hilarious of course, but, in addition to his lightning-quick wit, I am impressed by the breadth and depth of his knowledge on so many topics.
I checked his Wikipedia page, and it says he went to Middlebury (a very elite liberal arts college). Clearly, Mr. Mantzoukas is no slouch in the intellect department.
