It looks good.
Louis Black is hysterical!

Beginning on Wednesday night at 10:30 Eastern time, and continuing for the next seven Wednesdays, Comedy Central will finally give Mr. Black his due as the host of a half-hour show, “Lewis Black’s Root of All Evil.” It is a confection that is challenging to describe, but here’s one way: imagine if elements of “The People’s Court,” “Politically Incorrect With Bill Maher” and Drew Carey’s improvisational “Whose Line Is It Anyway?” were fused together to create an absurd, mock courtroom in which American pop culture and political life were put on trial.

Then imagine Mr. Black as the judge.

Saw two episodes...very good.

Two good comedians going toe to toe, a la a courtroom w/Black as the judge.

Worth tivo-ing.

It's real funny. Lewis Black is so funny. He is supposed to be on Larry King tonight.

I love his standup...years ago, he used to do this annoying thing, probably as a timing mechanism...

He would do this thing with his lips...kind of like when you do "rasberries" to a baby...just before his punchlines.

He seems to have corrected that "thing", but every so often you can see him almost do it.

He was great on Larry King last night. So funny.

Patton Oswalt is gonna be on an upcoming ep.

I've been waiting for this but forgot about it. I caught the last half of the Viagra Vs. Donald Trump one.

Hilarious.

He killed on Larry King! For once, King's lame interview style actually worked to Lewis's advantage. One lame question, then Let Lewis rant for a few minutes. Hilarious!

I'll be sure to watch!

Tonight's:

MJ prevents murder.
Beer does not.

MJ does not make people hungry.
Hunger is a normal state in vertabrates and arthropods and
flora and has NOTHING to do with MJ.

Eat first.

MJ does not make people stupid.
Only stupid people will tell you that they do it.

MJ is NOT a gateway-drug.
BILLIONS of people are VERY happy to do nothing else
