#EndorseThis: Lewis Black Calls Trump A Thief Of Time Itself

#EndorseThis: Lewis Black Calls Trump A Thief Of Time Itself

Considering the circumstances and the subject matter, comedian Lewis Black might seem just a little too chipper in today’s clip. Black is upbeat, cracking wise, delivering one laugh-line after another.

But then again, the “miserable Jew” thrives on human misfortune.

Black tells Stephen Colbert that he favors a new amendment to the U.S. Constitution aimed directly at President Trump’s bugle. Like a citizen of Whoville suddenly taking up arms against a Grinch in the White House, there are certain pleasures of summer that he is determined not to let 45 pluck out of our lives.

Enjoy the roasted beast.

#EndorseThis: Lewis Black Takes On The Midterm Primary Election And Wins

“It’s like the X Games, only with more brain damage.” Is there a comic other than Lewis Black who would describe an election that way?

The “Miserable Jew” is back (as his branding suggests) with an epic 5-minute rant on the 2018 primaries, which he describes as a group of base-pandering politicians each trying to act like more of a wing-nut than the next. Black points a shaky finger at the GOP for allowing Don Blankenship a chance in West Virginia, while playing a clip of Blankenship’s “Cocaine Mitch” ad. Mitch McConnell might not actually be on cocaine, but we could all use drugs of some sort if an ex-convict is seated next to him in the Senate.

Black turns his ire toward the Democratic primary in New York, where Andrew Cuomo and Cynthia Nixon are in a race to the far-left. The misanthrope heralds a new aromatic era of NYC in which plastic bags are made illegal, and the odor of cat and dog crap overwhelms all of Manhattan. “Hold your nose and vote” could take on a whole new meaning by November.

Press play for election-day giggles.

#EndorseThis: Lewis Black Relishes Trump’s Inaugural Humiliation

Surely you’re aware of the Trump inaugural committee’s persistent frustration in booking top-ranked talent for the president-elect’s constitutional “festivities.” You’ve likely heard that Radio City’s venerated Rockettes, for instance, have resisted performing for the misogynist billionaire. You may even have read Trump’s tweeted whine that he doesn’t care whether any A-list artists show up for his party.

But you probably haven’t heard Lewis Black break down the details of the new administration’s humiliating launch. Black has his own recommendations for possible entertainment at the inauguration. And the comedian insists he already has glommed his own tickets and wouldn’t miss it for the world — if only to witness what he expects will happen when Trump puts his hand on the Bible.

Lewis Black To Larry Wilmore: The Election ‘Has To Stop!’

Lewis Black To Larry Wilmore: The Election ‘Has To Stop!’

Comedian Lewis Back joined Larry Wilmore on his last week of The Nightly Show and told him, in no uncertain terms, that this election “has to stop.”

Wilmore, with Black and a roundtable of two other regular Nightly Show contributors, discussed the election while consuming miniature bottles of booze, sent to Wilmore courtesy of Stephen Colbert. Black has been on Wilmore’s show several times before, and joined him to bid farewell to The Nightly Show.

“Even though I have zero fucks to give at this point, I have plenty of booze to give,” Wilmore said, as he started the segment.
