Lewis Black on The Hour with George Stroumboulopoulos
http://www.cbc.ca/thehour Lewis Black - a man who is not afraid to say, or yell, or shout, or rant, whatever is on his mind. Lewis' comedy is fueled by genuine outrage at the lunacy of American society. Born and raised in and around Washington, DC., his dad introduced him to theatre and Lewis planned on spending his life as a playwright. In the 80's, he moved to New York, where he wrote and directed for the stage. He often MC'd before his plays and next thing ya know - he's doing stand up. Eventually, he caught the eye of Hollywood producers, made some appearances in movies like "Hannah And Her Sisters" and "Jacob's Ladder", then, in 1997, Lewis got his big break. He scored a segment on the 'Daily Show' called "Back in Black". Those appearances have made Lewis a star. Since then, he's had his very own comedy specials, released a bunch of CD's and even won a Grammy for best comedy album. That was for his work 'The Carnegie Hall Performance". These days, Lewis has his own show "The Root of All Evil".
