Could you be thinking of Mark Russell?

Yes. Not sure where Baker came from other than both being fairly common names. He could be pretty funny and I remember watching him fairly regularly. As far as I can tell, he doesn't seem to have ever gotten around to publishing a "best of" collection (which I would buy) although there are mentions of plans here and there.
It's interesting that Russell himself is 85. I always saw him as "the next generation Lehrer", but he is actually the same generation.
