Truly, live radio is a crap shoot; you never know what you're going to get. When a less than complimentary caller gave his not-very-best to Lewis Black, Lewis Black gave his best, right back. This has been passed around a bit -- and in video, because you can really see the wheels turning. A great radio -- now video -- moment.

I've met Lewis Black, and he's actually a very nice guy. Funny as hell, too. That caller was a fucking retard.

[psiguynow]

Caller was a major pinhead. Never read his book, saw him on tv once, and calls to criticize like he knows something. His next colonoscopy is going to be expensive due to the surcharge for pulling that big stick out of his ass. It'll probably result in letting all the air out of his head as well.

Dipshits like that caller are why things have gotten as bad as they are. The caller is ironically the one who is degrading to culture.

[CSRosewood]

The sad thing, his book, though it uses a biblical reference on the title, has absolutely nothing to do with religion.

I liked Lewis Black's point that he wouldn't be doing what he does if he didn't care so much.

"I DON"T COMPARE ME TO THE FAMILY GUY."

"NAME SOMETHING!!!"

GO LEWIS BLACK!!!!

[solsticedj]

The caller was a sock puppet for some paranoid religious group. Debating a comedian is usually a bad idea, but to do it unprepared,it is just retarded.

[sanninjiraiya]

Lewis Black handled this well but the callers logic still annoys me. The shows he brought up parody the extremes and contradictions in our culture. They aren't really degrading anything because they are just reflecting the way things are and what they have become.

[klschmidt]

Lewis, I *heart* you! You are awesome!

[HowToCatchShadows]

Name something.

"Buuuuuh..."

Name something!

"I uhhhhhhh"

NAME SOMETHING

"I don't have to!"

[GordonFreeMANness]

He's a virus!

[gottbutter]

make fun of it, mock it, rip it to frickin pieces.

so what, if peoples traditions are degraded.

the kkk has traditions too.

and yah. i`m comparing tora & talmud traditions to the clan`s tradition.

anyone who reads those books & claims otherwise doesn`t want to see it.

i can say that. i`m jewish myself.
