Lewis Black speaks at the National Press Club - April 14, 2014

He considers himself a socialist due to his parents' (in the audience) influence.

"Lewis Black, the comedian, playwright, and satirist who is perhaps best known for his frequent "Back in Black" appearances on Comedy Central's The Daily Show, addressed the National Press Club at a luncheon on April 14, 2014. Black, a native of Silver Spring, Md., talked about politics and social issues - as well as upcoming NPC speaker Donald Trump - in his inimitable style."

through the roof. I loved his comedy work already, this puts him up a level.

A class guy. And funny as hell to boot. Gotta love that.
