My Take
Lewis Black is, to me, America's great licensed ranter, and I mean that as the highest compliment. His comedy looks like pure fury, but underneath the shouting is a genuinely sharp mind refusing to accept the absurdities of politics, religion, and culture. Doing the "Back in Black" segment on The Daily Show since 1996 is a feat of consistency that most comedians could never sustain. Anger that stays this articulate and this funny for decades is a craft, not an accident. I find it strangely reassuring that a man approaching his late seventies still has so much honest indignation left in him. That energy is admirable.
