Lewis Black Gets Really Comfy To Talk About The RNC
Lewis Black explained why he showed up on the Late Show Wednesday night wearing what looked like surgical scrubs. “I live in the neighborhood. You said watch the convention and come on down and talk about it. I don’t wear a suit when I’m at home,” Black told Colbert. “I don’t dress up to watch those idiots. I put on my pajamas. Normally, since I’ve got to work, I like to get a morphine drip, and I lie back on my couch and let it drift over me. Sometimes when I get really angry, I like to tear off my clothes, run around naked and scream like a banshee.”
He said he thinks this whole thing is just a social experiment, having the two most unliked candidates in history run against each other, and suggested we tie them together and make them run the country together. “It’s crank vs cranky. It’s not good. We have to stop these conventions. It has to stop,” Black shouted comparing the conventions to having a pep rally for a bowling team.
This fall, Lewis Black is bringing a show to Broadway. It’s called “Black to the Future” and Lewis says he’s going to go through the entire election cycle to show exactly how we got to this moment in political history. He promises to ditch the scrubs and wear a suit, with a tie, because if you wear a tie, people think wow, this person knows what they’re doing.
