Lewis Black got a Grammy for Stark Raving Black.
His concert film. I saw it over a year ago. He's damn funny.

He also has two books out that I recommend highly: NOTHING SACRED and ME OF LITTLE FAITH.

:yourock: <--Lewis Black

2. Interesting.
Black makes me laugh out loud and other than George Carlin damned few comedians have ever done that.

3. His segment about Taco Bell on the Daily Show last week had me rolling.

"So it's Taco Bell! It's not like you eat it when you're sober! But when it's 3:00 AM and you've got those meet goggles on, that non-beef filler looks like a porterhouse steak!"

"36%???? Are you kidding me???? Even a Duraflame log is 42% beef!"

"When I ask an old Italian woman what is in her sauce, she can tell me it's a secret. But when an Austrailian guy running a Mexican restaurant with a dog for a mascot says it, I wanna know the secret!!!!!"
