Lewis Black to get his own Comedy Central show?

Oh God please let them pick this show up. I would give one of my kidneys for them to pick this show up. Lewis Black is the fucking man.

From the article:
The Root of All Evil, a new pilot for Comedy Central starring Lewis Black and featuring comedians Patton Oswalt, Greg Giraldo, and Paul F. Tompkins (not Paul S. Tompkins, as this Craigslist ad reads) is taping tomorrow night in Los Angeles, so if you're in LA and looking for something to do, buy yourself some tickets, and then kick yourself for paying money for free tickets.

The show, from the producers of Real Time with Bill Maher, centers on Black and his panel of guests who discuss current events in what one assumes will be a funny manner. The show is described thusly: "If you're a fan of Politically Incorrect or Real Time but don't understand the words, then this is your show."

I think the last time something like this was attempted was Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn, and I grew tired of that show pretty quickly. Still, I like Lewis Black, so this show could have potential. If anyone out there actually goes to this taping, come back and let us all know how it was, okay? Okay.

    Christ Keith, do you like/love anything at all? Do you hate kittens and puppies? Flowers and Mt. Dew? Computers and the internet?

    Lewis Black is the third part of my comedy/news trifecta. Along with John Steward and the big Steven.

    Louis CK should get a show too, though

    He should kill Mencia with a machete, and just take over his show

    Honestly I'd rather they just run South Park, Scrubs, The Daily Show and The Colbert Report

    all day

    just in a loop

    or just show Daily Show and Colbert once then constant reruns of South Park and Scrubs

    but this is good I guess

    Skip to 4:20 in if you'd like, though most of it is good. I actually got to see him perform live in Atlantic City, and sat about 3 rows back in the middle, and holy shit did I almost piss myself laughing when he performed this bit.
