Conversely, Lewis Black embodies America. He's loud, he's angry and he has a hilarious new comedy album, The Prophet, available now through Comedy Central Records. The rest of us Americans still may be working on that comedy album deal, and a lot of us are the cause of Lewis Black's loud anger, but that's what being part of the greatest nation in the world is all about. Watch Lewis dish some hard truths about these fruited plains in his recent interview with Piers Morgan on CNN below. Go America/Anderson Cooper/Lewis Black!

For more Lewis Black, check out Laughspin's collection of their 11 favorite Back in Black segments from The Daily Show.

Black, a champion of celebrity philanthropy, is offering an exclusive auction opportunity through Charitybuzz, the leader in online charity auctions. One winner will win 10 tickets in First Tier, Luxury Seating for Lewis’s highly-acclaimed, “In God We Trust” comedy show at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center. The auction runs until Sept 13. And, you need not to live in New Jersey to take make a difference. You can always donate to Millennium Promise right here at the organization’s official site.

It seems no coincidence that Black has set up this sting in New Jersey; it's a hot bed for particularly angry middle-aged men whose discontent is rivaled only by the stench that has collected on their static minds and bodies. But let's not forget, Lewis Black has already infamously upset the balance of AM-AM on The Daily Show and the stand-up circuit by breaking another key rule time and time again– no being intentionally funny. Luckily his crime has been captured on tape and reproduced after the jump for your enjoyment.

The Daily Show airs Monday through Thursday at 11pm/10c.

Black's explosive disposition at the mic and on The Daily Show has cathartically warmed hearts across America, but has remained suspiciously tame so far on Twitter.

Of course, if vague, unscientific adages teach us anything, we can assume that this is but the calm before the storm. One simple pinky slide to the left could indicate a SUBSTANTIAL CHANGE in volume. Form aside, it looks like the content is going to be pure gold:

Comedy Central's long-awaited three-hour webcast from the Bonnaroo Comedy Tent streams today at 6pm EST / 3pm PST. Just point your computer, iPhone, iPad, Android device or tablet to comedycentral.com/bonnaroo.

It's all the fun of being at Bonnaroo without the smell of hippies!

So apparently you decided to take a short break from  repeatedly refreshing comedycentral.com/bonnaroo to read this. Don't worry, that's the right move.

We're excited too, but it's all about playing it cool. Get a napkin, you've got some foam on your lip and there's visible sweat on your mouse-clicking finger. If they think there's something wrong with you, they'll take away your Internet access and you won't be able to watch the live stream this Sunday. Trust me: I lived through Y2k.

To help you cool off, here's what Daily Show legend Lewis Black had to say to Punchline about the event:

“They’ve been incredibly receptive and line up to come in the tent really early” … “There’s a whole group of people out there who really have a love of comedy. Those people come, in part, because of who’ll be performing comically. They come at it a bit more focused.”

Hear that? Focus. Get in the game– here's some more from Nick Kroll:

“I really love the festival,” he tells us. “I think it’s always a good mix. They take good care of us in the comedy area. Totally psyched to do the shows, and it’s just fun. So many great bands. All the obvious stuff…Also, because of the way it’s set up in the artist colony area, it’s a great way to go ‘Oh, wow! That’s Lil Wayne and there’s the dude from Wilco.’”

That's right, the dude from Wilco might pass by during our webcast. If you're too exhausted to watch CC Live @Bonnaroo Comedy Tent Sunday at 6pm ET/ 3pm PT, you'll miss that. And all the incredible comedy acts.

“He was so confident on stage, such a master of words and so naturally funny, that he could take anything he wanted to talk about and make it funny even if you disagreed with his politics on it. At the end of the bit, it was flawless logic,” says Joyce. “You could disagree with the concept of gay marriage, but he would [talk about this] in Texas, or in the South. We’d work together in Georgia, and he would start the bit with some version of, ‘if you think gay people choose to be gay, you’re an asshole.’ He would confront people aggressively to say, what you believe is wrong. But by the end of the bit, not only would he get an applause break, but everybody would be like, ‘Huh. I see your point.” He could take anything he believed in, and make it funny to people who disagreed with him.”

The Benefit for Greg Giraldo will be next Wednesday, February 9th at 8pm at the Beacon Theatre in New York City. Tom Papa hosts. Jerry Seinfeld, Judy Gold, Lewis Black, Dave Attell, Colin Quinn, Ted Alexandro, Jim Norton, and Jesse Joyce are slated to perform. Tickets are available through Ticketmaster.

The Earth's axial tilt is farthest away from the Sun at its maximum of 23° 26' right now. You know what that means — Happy Winter Holiday season to people of different faiths and beliefs! Let's light our candles, decorate our shrubs and get drunk at office parties. Tis the reason for this season.

It's entirely Maccabee-approved.
