Line 1: {{creator}} [[File:lewisblack.jpg\|frame]] Gee, where to begin? Lewis Black is best known as a loud, abrasive stand-up comic. He has [[No Indoor Voice]]. While the bulk of his work is based around political humor, including a recurring "Back in Black" segment on ''[[The Daily Show]]'', he's also known for his [[Rant Comedy\|angry observational humor]]. (Those shaking fingers? That's not palsy, he's just really really pissed.) He had a high profile role in the film ''[[Accepted]]'', and has appeared in a number of other films and television shows, including a guest spot on ''[[Law and Order SVU]]'', and a featured role as Anger in ''[[Inside Out]]''. In 2008, he got his own show on [[Comedy Central]], ''[[Root of All Evil]]''. While he takes a back seat to the episodes' guest comics, he still inserts his trademark angry rants. A number of his acts include bits of [[Self-Deprecation]], about himself and his fellow Jewish people, sometimes edging on [[N-Word Privileges\|J -Word Privileges]]. And of course, Lewis Black is king of the [[Cluster F-Bomb]], using, in his own words, the word "fuck" like a comma. Line 29: * [[Large Ham]]: Even when you ''can't'' see him--he's the voice of the unseen Mister E on ''[[Scooby Doo Mystery Inc]]''. * [[Los Angeles]]: Doesn't like the place. Has stories about how the first time he went, there was an earthquake, and about the time CBS flew him there to audition for a character derived from his stage persona. {{quote\|'''Lewis''': "Some of you are missing the point here: [[~~This~~Punctuated! IsFor! ~~Sparta~~Emphasis!\|CBS. Flew me. To Los Angeles. To Audition.]] [[Shaped Like Itself\|TO BE MYSELF!]]"}} ** It gets even funnier when he reveals that CBS found someone else to portray him. Read: They found a better Lewis Black than ''Lewis Black''. {{quote\|'''Lewis''': "Unbeknownst to me, [[Mind Screw\|there was]] ''[[Mind Screw\|A BETTER ME!!!]]''"}} Line 58: [[Category:Recorded and Stand Up Comedy]] [[Category:Lewis Black]] [[Category:Comedian]] [[Category:Names to Know in Comedy]]
