Well not really, his accent is 100% plummy and quintessentially English as this clip of him as General Melchett from Blackadder Goes Forth demonstrates.
Whatever he is doing he can usually be guaranteed to bring humour and intelligence to the proceedings, take this blog entry/column on his friendship with Douglas Adams and their shared passion for the latest technologies.
Here is a short clip of him correcting a panellist's grammar on the QI show:
Never afraid to make a fool of himself as this one shows he remains one of the finest humourists of our times, and you can always catch up with him on his website.

He would be on my list of most wanted at a dinner party. He's so intelligent he proves the saying that genius is one step from madness, what with him being a manic depressive.
p.s. I have a Sansa 280e myself!
Noddy, I concur with your assessment, the thought of having him and Douglas Adams at the same table is just jaw dropping.
Never owned one of those mp3 devices, sounds like good value for money that Sansa - unlike Apple products.
I love smart, quick wit. He's great. The public television stations play Blackadder reruns quite often. I used to watch it a lot.
rt, The BBC are showing a documentary travel show "Stephen Fry in America" at the moment where he visits every state in a black London cab. Worth looking out for over there.
