James Randi, a great force of skepticism and reason.
James Randi has spent much of his life facing down and unmasking con artists and woo (dowsing, psychics, etc.). He has worked on his own, as part of his organization JREF, and with the likes of Johnny Carson.
You can look at some of his past work, and current endeavors at The James Randi Educational Foundation site.
Here you can watch video of one of his outings to show up the infamous Uri Geller, both appearing on the show, the View.
If you visit You Tube, their are plenty of clips of Randi exposing the cons.
