really an issue when it comes to personality or entertainment value.

Like Mercury, he is the messenger and the amount of information he brings to the table is as factual as you can get. In fact, if you really want to debate and disagree with someone's points, Chomsky is one of the great sources to do so from.

No need to agree with how he presents his knowledge, but you can easily use it as a springboard to break out of the cocoon that requires knowledge and insight to be some form of exciting entertainment and for people to have celebrity, charisma and acting skills to be able to seem less egotistical.

After years of being debated, marginalized and maligned, Dr. Chomsky is still going strong and clear no matter what kind of show people might want or expect him to put on. Facts and information are the nature of this game.
