It's another late night TV moment, but my go to moment for a class act was Craig Ferguson, back when Brittany Spears was frequently in the news for various mental health crises. He took his entire monologue one evening to say that, sure, he's a late night stand-up, he could take a few cheap shots and get some laughs and move on, but as someone who had recovered from addiction himself he could not and would not in good conscience do so. He went on to share some of his personal lows that didn't get nearly as much attention because he's an average looking Scottish man, not a pretty young Southern blonde. He refused to add to her pain, and to me that's all class.
