Arsenic and an Old Face

There was a time when Lewis Black would appear for his "Back in Black" segments on The Daily Show pretty much weekly. But these days we only get to see him every couple of months or so, presumably because he spends a lot of time touring and performing, as a result of the higher profile he gained from doing these pieces. You could say we're the victims of his success, because we don't get to enjoy his wit as often.

That's why I like to post his Daily Show segments here—I know there are those of you who appreciate Black's point of view but aren't regular TDS viewers, which is totally okay. But more importantly, there are very few people who are as good at exposing and skewering ridiculous hypocrisy as Black is, and in the current climate of our society, we need that—we need it badly.
