Jon Stewart of the Daily Show. Always questioning, always seeking the truth, and very hilarious.
ETA: No, I'm not joking, he's one of my personal heroes, specifically because of his desire to understand in the most rational way possible. He may not be very good at it, being more of an everyman than a highly educated philosopher, but he has it as a core value nonetheless.
ETA2: I now wish I hadn't posted this.
Allow me to second the other replies by saying that just because someone is much more rational than the other people in eir reference class, doesn't mean ey is rational.
I admire him because he's a normal person, trying despite the difficulty.
It's the striving, the quest, that I admire, even if the end product is not up to your standards.
