Lewis Black

Lewis Black, the son of Jeannette, a teacher, and Sam Black, an artist and mechanical engineer was raised in Springfield, MD. During his Undergraduate degree he was a member of Student Congress and did some playwriting and went on to get his Masters in Fine Arts afterwards. After leaving the theater he began working as a comedian and now is a Grammy award winning comedian. His Back in Black comedic segment on the Daily Show addresses many current issues. His comedy is one full of sarcasm and of an educated man dealing with the absurdities of the news or politics. In this segment called Coming Out he discusses the difficulty Alan Keyes has had in now being succumbed to the same hardships of Dick Cheney and Newt Gingric. Mr. Keyes a right-winged conservative must overcome having a gay relative. Lewis Black pokes fun at Keyes difficulty in overcoming this as he shouts and portrays these absurdities to his viewers: mostly white, American audience. He is trying to reach out to a conservative audience in showing them that homosexuals should have equal rights.
