If you haven't seen his new show on Comedy Central you are really missing the boat .

LEWIS BLACK'S ROOT OF ALL EVIL
TIME SLOT:
Wednesdays from 10:30 PM-11:00 PM EST"

Paris Hilton vs. Dick Cheney? YouTube vs. Porn? Michael Vick vs. Michael Richards? COMEDY CENTRAL has picked up "The Root of All Evil," a new series in which Lewis Black puts pop culture on trial and presides over the comedic proceedings, it was announced today by Lauren Corrao, executive vice president, original programming and development, COMEDY CENTRAL. The series will premiere in March 2008.

Moderated by Lewis Black, "The Root of All Evil" pits two people such as Paris Hilton and Dick Cheney or pop culture topics such as You Tube vs. Porn against each other in an open debate setting. A rotating group of comedians will take the stage and argue who or what is most evil with Black making the final decision between the two.

"Who better to serve as the great decider for all that is evil than Lewis Black? We are thrilled to be working with him on a new series that embraces his insight and personality. He has been a mainstay on COMEDY CENTRAL for years with his hosting gigs, numerous stand-up specials and his trademark 'Back in Black' segments on 'The Daily Show with Jon Stewart,'" said Corrao.

"I am thrilled to become a part of popular culture by being the self-proclaimed decider of what is evil in our popular culture and by the end of the show's run I will no doubt have to judge myself," said Black.

I love Lewis Black, but I found the show a bit contrived, not that's it's supposed to be spontaneous, it's hard to describe.  It reminded me of Colin Quinn's old show, awkward.  Maybe they'll settle into a good routine.  I remember when Jon Stewart took over Craigers spot, it was also a bit clumsy for a while.

Right now it feels too scripted to be called a debate.  I hope it gets into a smoother groove.

To each is own I guess. It seems like a much more intelligent style of comedy to me. Especially when Comedy Central follows it up with Carlos Jerkoff Mencia.

They all seem scripted to be honest, expect for the occasional writers strike.

Pretty funny, at times it seemed a little too scripted, but still worth a watch..
