Lewis Black, you sir are a national treasure.

[@brucecampbellschin8632]

papnlockin Lewis Black is the greatest living comedian today.

[@rainydaylady6596]

[@arthurjackson6395]

Stop calling everyone a national treasure, you douchebags...

[@dannymartin970]

People that call others douchebags, are a national treasure.

[@antonchigurh8541]

Arthur Jackson You Sir Are A National Treasured Douchebag.

[@mandeepthebest]

That sarcastic laugh after he said bomb shelters gets me every time.

[@stephanieh.3812]

i didn't notice it until you pointed it out and i've replayed it like 16 times. kills me

[@Muzikrazy213]

Lewis Black impersonating Sean Spicer is easier to understand than Sean Spicer.

[@robertssilins6567]

Muzikrazy213 'blupblup mnop crubcakes'

[@tyleranthonybeauvais4999]

Muzikrazy213 yeah Sean Spicer I a fucking moron

[@gorillaguerillaDK]

+Dog Ass Breath 1989 And yet, he still managed to make more sense than the POTUS

[@danwic]

I didn't know anything about trump when he got elected, but when I heard Sean Spicer talk, I thought "America is fucked..." I mean seriously he's like a yapping lap-dog, pathetic lol

[@ktpinnacle]

I need that as wake up call - that way I wake up laughing every morning.

[@vanderin]

Lewis Black saying "That's when the anger becomes real," and laughing afterwords, is the most laughter I have ever seen from this man in my life time. I'm 26.

[@HaikuBanter]

Happy 31st! It's been a....very long five years. You might just skip to being 50.

[@GabbyCamilleri]

"breaking news, breaking news, breaking news its always breaking we just broke it and now its broken again" hahaha

[@MrPetoria33]

gabby now it's 96, they're taking a break

[@invalidemailaddress8520]

I love Lewis Black. He makes me smile. Such a pure soul.

[@midgey50]

I've been saying the same thing about the overuse of "breaking news"! It drives me crazy!

[@freddiez7461]

lewis black has been the same age for 20 years now!

[@whoknows1780]

I like his unique style, very entertaining, especially now with non stop deptessing Trump news.

[@RickStaffordcartunes]

how old is dirt anyway?

[@faithrada]

Jeff Nasser. He looks... Brilliant : ) we NEED this guy to keep breathing... his humor is my life support.

[@geraldking4080]

Was Lewis ever young? I'm older than he is and he still looks old.

[@theheardtheorem]

2 comedians that have never disappointed me: George Carlin and Lewis Black

[@kindsprit4039]

theheardtheorem oh man! I can’t agree more with you!

[@jeffelm8033]

You have to add Sam Kinison... If he were still alive he would be having a ball with Donald Trump

[@OakleyGuru379]

Lewis Black, George Carlin, Richard Pryor and Greg Giraldo

[@christinegingras4954]

Hear Hear! True Story!

[@Alex-wj9ho]

Put Rodney Dangerfield in there as well

[@RinLockhart]

Lewis has been my little screaming beacon of sunshine.

[@therepublicofdiarrhea7792]

Lewis Black is healthier for my body than kale.

[@Gr8rgamer]

Stephan Colbert/Lewis Black for President/Vice President 2020

[@warpedjaffas1]

Lewis Black is healthier for your body than a kale enema.

[@fatpatMC]

nothing is worth the way kale tastes.

[@edbain6495]

You say that about a lot of people...

[@gostling]

You said this on Keith Olbermann's page.

[@renfloyd7595]

I don't think I've ever seen Lewis Black smile that warmly at anyone besides Colbert

[@christianholsthansen4293]

he sounds angry but his eyes says he's a sweet human

[@leonardpearlman4017]

Yes, that's his love for humanity... just his and our misfortune that humanity in general is a bunch of jerks!

[@jacksontyer5762]

0:38 - 1:21 This is even more relevant now than it was when this was filmed.

[@buzzybee2517]

America needs men like this during Trump's presidency so the world will know that not all Americans are like him.

[@liyev]

Johnny 5.0 I think the world knows that already.

[@briancurrie2897]

liyev accept the whole world is laughing at you for electing someone as fake as trump....

[@Blueleaf11]

Yeah....we've put our nuclear weapons in hands of a mentally deranged man-child...no one should be laughing.

[@liyev]

Brian Currie Im not American...but I know most Americans are not stupid. a good portion are, but not the most.

[@Skyprince27]

liyev What I thought could be no more than five or 6 million, turned out to be 63 million. That was a bit of a shocker!

[@mizzdeester3958]

"Quack quack whack urrh crabcake " 😂

[@CheapQuickKitchenlessKeto]

I begin my mornings in the same fashion

[@truvak]

I also add 3 cups of coffee, so I can have a stroke and shit everything in the morning, so I can survive the rest of the day.

[@TCt83067695]

ppl really need to stop watching cnn

[@johndanielson3777]

Same here

[@cesarmadero05]

'They have no *CLUE* what is Risk' ;)

[@AskMeddi]

Bada tsssss...

[@7bean3]

He certainly has no monopoly on puns.

[@Orlor]

But, that's just life...

[@geekdivaherself]

Ya guys don't hafta Scrabble around looking for more Pun-cheesi game titles! It Boggle za mind, I tell you.

[@richarddarlington1139]

Sorry about that, chief. Yeah, that's all I got.

[@yoji0]

Black had a bit in one of his shows (Red White and Screwed, I think), where he remembered when he was young: "I'd hear something on the TV or radio that would just fucking piss me off. And then I'd jump on a bus to Congress or the White House and find whoever it was who made me angry and run after them screaming "FUCK YOU!!"" "But then I thought "Well, this is no way to LIVE. I can't make a living doing THIS." (incredulous laughter from the crowd, shrug from Black)

[@kacibjordan]

You can't break something, then 20 minutes later break what you just broke! 👏🏽👏🏽

[@gabrielfg39]

Lewis is love, Lewis is life.

[@polyorchid528]

On Lewis Black's day off he becomes Al Franken.

[@crsigbryant2955]

Poly Orchid now that's funny!

[@thedude4672]

Someone please explain this joke to me. Don't pretend that you get it and then insult me for not getting it; actually explain it to me. Black is from NYC. Franken's from Minnesota. Black's schtick is an angry comic. Franken's a former comic who's now a US senator, and being angry a-la Lewis Black has never been his schtick. I don't get it!

[@lotusbladee]

The Dude lewis black is known for being angry; its what his job is. so when he gets a day off, hes not angry. the joke that he becomes franken is based on the fact that they both look & sound like each other

[@farelhettinger3512]

Thats good on

[@greggblade810]

This aged badly

[@antonchigurh8541]

Lewis Black for President in 2020

[@Traskelion]

Because it'd surely be an improvement right now. HOPEFULLY, once 2020 actually rolls around and we remember we have choices, that we'll look at the slimy career politicians and say "Y'know, they weren't THAT bad....let's try them again."

[@PlumbDrumb]

No, we went through all this shit just to get rid of the pervious slimy establishment. What we need to do in 2020 is push for a progressive candidate that works for the people. If not then these coming 4 years will have been a complete waste of endurance - all for naught.

[@Traskelion]

Good point. Well, here's hoping for better choices next round.

[@trutwijd]

Assuming we make it that long....

[@Luvenia48]

I don't think it will be one we can be proud of. HE*L I am not sure it will be we can even LIVE IN!!!

[@saltheplumber755]

You and Me both, Lewis!!

[@marko3296]

Bet Jon Stewart is regretting not sticking around for a another year or Two. He retires, Trump becomes a president and O Riley gets fired from Fox .

[@PennyPennyPennyPennyPenny]

e.g John I think trump becoming president on his watch would have killed Jon Stewart, but the circus that is his presidency would have brought him back to life. the O'reilly thing would have made his year.

[@marko3296]

Penny you might be right about the trump thing. Everybody is making fun about him in the same way cos its so easy to do. But i still do t think there is anybody better to do it than Stewart . Plus i really miss him 😀

[@BS_stuG]

e.g John I can't imagine he's happy that O'Reilly got fired. They weren't exactly best friends, but they didn't hate each other. Well, I don't think Jon hated Bill.

[@perman07]

They were cordial, but I think they were rivals more than friends. I doubt he likes O'Reilly that much...

[@marko3296]

Jawel Zimbabwe never said he hated him. But who in their right mind would like Trump or Bill . It would just make for a good comedy for the years to come. And we will all need a good laugh, bigly

[@OsofoGriot]

Lewis black and Jonathan pie should have a despondency-off to see who's the angriest satirist in the world

[@jacklandon9933]

I notice that, unlike Alec Baldwin, Stephen didn't ask Lewis why he seems like an angry person. With Lewis, anger is just a given.

[@MichaelAronson]

Lewis Black is just a motherfucking force of nature. He's not even human.

[@carlosmalave540]

You're the best Lewis Black !!

[@jeffpride9838]

He's my inner brain when I walk around in public places

[@sleepychicken6185]

Just say he's anger from inside out

[@michaelscarn6628]

love this black guy

[@tommychong316]

ash fadam I see what you did there

[@wuxiagamescentral]

sc2umsmaker you have an aneurysm

[@normanthedoorman9993]

Every time he speaks he melts away in his shirt a bit more

[@cleansanchez4880]

His act as a bitter old fuck is so convincing and then in interviews he just seems so chill and nice.

[@doberman1ism]

I have been a Louis Black fan for many years. He always makes me laugh and makes me feel normal. Whatever normal is.

[@ronishamay]

I wonder what his blood pressure is like...

[@maplemcgee6267]

ronishamay que

[@ronishamay]

?

[@cavon28]

only anger flows through that mans veins, there is no blood left in him. he lives off the souls of dead politicians.

[@ronishamay]

i thought politicians didn't have souls and that was part of the problem...

[@glpinkfloyd6809]

He is the Angry, Louder than Hell, Voice of AMERICA and he is so entertaining, riotously funny and informative!

[@jumpstart55million]

If the Incredible Hulk had an angry Granpa it would be Lewis Black..lmao

[@marieldavison5121]

Lewis Black....one of a few guests with a cool personality.

[@nancybeveridgetaylor3256]

I do the same, my husband comes into the room and sees me shaking my head.

[@zarinaa1135]

I know what Risk is! I have it and I play it!

[@leananshae]

I know the angry, outraged, loudmouth schtick is Lewis Black's thing, but I think he honestly gets apoplectic when he thinks/talks about tRump... as do we all!

[@Child0fTru]

omg I love when Lewis gets so worked up he can't even make words 😅

[@sisterruperta]

Lewis Black is the Best and my favorite. Stephen Colbert is doing great !

[@SupermanHopkins]

"Look it up!" Man, Lewis Black needs another show.

[@tiaturner2871]

Going to see him on Saturday! So excited.

[@MissLilyputt]

Lewis Black is the voice of positivity in my head.

[@Coastfog]

Rated by the quality of information provided, Lewis' Spicer impression was spot on.

[@noirjacques3274]

He’s both of the funniest angry people and one of the angriest funny people on earth. 😂❤

[@caliluv4244]

That old guy is flipping awesome......keep it up Lewis!!

[@GingerGingie]

I love that guy. Sooo so funny.

[@thereaper9965]

This man has no filter and I love it.

[@HongKongPhooey89]

Colbert/Black 2020 with Jon Stewart as Chief of Staff.

[@rogeredtabbit]

Putz! Bwahaha.....i literally laughed out loud. Whattaguy! Hawlarious

[@karenpillow4104]

I still have Lewis Black's commentary on Glenn Becks "Nazi Tourette's" on my playlist, though it's was done years ago. His incisive observations of our cultural and political absurdities are a tonic for politiics ,or exhaustion

[@Lumby1]

If Lewis Black was president, you could laugh with him, not at him!

[@leonardpearlman4017]

And PRESS CONFERENCES would have a big audience, I'm thinking! I mean, they have Zhirinovsky in Russia... you can see him on the Russian video channels. He's intense and ranting, and everyone else on stage is often rolling their eyes and trying to keep him from getting completely out of hand, but a LOT of people are agreeing with him, too. And also it's not just political double-talk, he's yelling things pretty much like Lewis Black might. I think we could use a little of this in our political discourse, and am not kidding at all. If Lewis Black was even I don't know PRESS SECRETARY, wouldn't YOU pay a lot more attention to the gummint?

[@zach9222]

I don’t binge watch game of thrones I binge watch Louis black

[@ileanasantamaria2364]

"ANY ONE of us should have run, instead of that PUTZ." Amen.

[@davidbatin1699]

Only Lewis Black can say the "F" word without offending others. He is one of a kind comedian & effin funny.

[@zen-wu5zl]

wish he was a regular on any of the late night shows.

[@cesarmadero05]

zen 123 too many rants would have kill him.

[@RandomStranger246]

zen 123 He does live rants online at about 10pm on weekends. Check out his website for details. They're pretty awesome!

[@RandomStranger246]

zen 123 He does live rants online at about 10pm on weekends. Check out his website for details. They're pretty awesome!

[@RandomStranger246]

He's on the daily show about once a month

[@sawace1]

Slash forward lewis black. Lol! Love him!

[@RositaAHuff]

I just visited the USA....America is great....the People deserve so much better ....the President is not a good person.

[@stevemandl5140]

F OFF!

[@hannahmore9118]

Oh, and I love how every single talk show on the air has open consumption of lots and lots of alcohol. Not hiding it anymore. We understand. We are with you in our need for SOMETHING to get us through this mess!

[@RandomStranger246]

I would love to see Lewis, Jon and the band hanging out for drinks. Something tells me there would be profound thinking going on.

[@ArkaeaFCL3]

Lewis doesn't need coffee. He uses CNN. Wakes him right up.

[@DorianMattar]

Awesome!

[@omunhvilag]

big Lewis Black fan - this was good for my spirit haven't heard him for at least a month when i use to listen to him daily just couldn't find anymore i hadn't listened to - was re-winding several times still go a belly full - time to listen to him again to get rid of the anger

[@marykelley5293]

Absolutely Love YOU!

[@speakyourtruth7872]

I love you Lewis Black.

[@aleatoriac7356]

Yeah, I don't even have to look at the news, and that's pretty much me after just a few minutes, every morning. Just... life.

[@simransimran9339]

I love this man. I really do.

[@jaster6056]

@3:22 omg slay me! I need a vine of that administered intravenously. Thank you Lewis.

[@aspookyfox]

Best Spicer impression by far

[@simeik]

"LOOK IT UP!" xD

[@ladonnabrock8613]

Lewis rocks!! He's hilarious.

[@gaylorddefalla6493]

If Trump protesters were getting paid, I would be rich enough to live paycheck to paycheck.

[@imyourhuckleberry8095]

I have to watch this stuff on KZbin cause I dislike becoming frustrated at the end of my days.

[@paulgreenlee7123]

That’s how I start every day

[@DinoWinoSaur]

lewis black is just hilarious

[@jenniferhiemstra5228]

So basically he just turns into Anger every morning ;)

[@mongoose1618]

That Namaste was a good Gesture

[@bigdog4574]

LMFAO... Lewis Black.... Healthy dose of Reality!

[@lauraine2001]

[@vmwindustries]

[@joncampbell644]

[@tyu3456]

[@vikitheviki]

Stephen Colbert gotta have the best job ever :)

[@wendyscott8425]

He said all this almost a year ago, and it's still happening! :(

[@speakyourtruth7872]

Rocket man is playing with his toys. Per Donald Duck schmuck. Lol

[@OkieTLB]

I love you, Lewis Black!

[@judyoliverwest9467]

And here we are, one horrible year later. Kind of amazed to be alive, but exhausted beyond imagination..

[@Nathankinamorh]

Lewis Black is my spirit animal.

[@stormwatcher59]

I remember Risk ~ great game!!!

[@duggydugg3937]

Nuts.. don't ever change

[@TheMMObro]

so true, the breaking news thing is legit just part of their banner lol

[@SSS-mp8th]

Keep up the good work Lewis hope to see you again the next time you play Baltimore.

[@aztn19]

I played Risk as a kid lol!! I even had the game on Sega Genesis!!

[@williamgregory1848]

Lewis Black is my spirit animal 😊

[@WarlordMoA]

What a 7 minute conversation that's all you can afford Colbert? Invite Lewis Black every day... i would pay to see Jon Stewart and Bill O'Riley and Lewis Black in a panel...

[@RandomStranger246]

He's on quite a lot. He lives down the block....

[@gavinmasterson8202]

LOVE HIM!

[@jonathanjollimore7156]

Coffee and good shit

[@aflomoviefilm]

Lewis Black for president!
