Lewis Black.... Any other fans?
I'm not sure how many people know of him. He is not very mainstream.

To me, he is the funniest comedian in recent years. I'm wondering how many people like him?

To me, his political stuff is the best, because EVERYTHING gets him so enraged.

His bit about Clinton and Ken Starr was hilarious:

"When you wanna catch somebody who is an asshole, you don't hire.... a BIGGER asshole. 'Cause then he makes the first asshole look like just a rectum!"

ANd then his bit on Dick Chaney:

"I MET him the other night! I MET Dick Chaney. He's a h---ho----.. I---I never STOOD that close to EVIL!" Audience member groans "Fuck you!.... And your Republican Bullshit nonsense!"

ANd then airport security.

"....they announced that knives could no longer be sold at airports............ so let me get this straight..... we..... were selling KNIVES at airports! It has nothing to DO with terrorism! You don't give a knife to someone who is getting into a confined space..... where they can drink ALL they want."

Any thoughts? ANybody a fan?

2. He's a genius
Watch him every chance I get. Back in Black is a perfect addition to The Daily Show.

The recent bit about hosing the bullshit off Ari Fleischer was brilliant.

4. He does the Daily Show
every week or two in a segment we Daily Show fans like to call, BACK IN BLACK. And Daily Show is the highest rated cable news show. That's right Fox, Daily Show kicks cable ass.

5. LOVE him
He gets so worked up over things (esp. politics) to the point I wonder how he can continue to speak.
He's great on the Daily Show, and from what I've seen on Comedy Central, his standup stuff is great too.

8. The rants are excellent, but maybe some of it is schtick?
I don't know if the inability to speak is put on or not, but he is bloody funny, and the way he works his hands when he gets worked up is hilarious.

6. Fan here
I love him on the Daily Show. And I've been lucky enough to catch some of his act on the XM comedy channel.

I'd love to see an 1/2 special or something?
