News > Lewis Black is "The Root of All Evil"

Permanently flumoxed comedian Lewis Black is finally getting his own show on Comedy Central with "The Root of All Evil," a fake courtroom series. The show will be produced by "Real Time With Bill Maher" exec producer Scott Carter and "Simpsons" writer David Sacks.
The show will feature two people or issues going against each other like defendants and plaintiffs in a trial with a series of comedians and guests playing as lawyers making their case why one or the other client is the "root of all evil."
That's one of the most convoluted premises I've ever heard, but I love Black so it could be great.
Episodes would include "Paris Hilton vs. Dick Cheney" or "chick flicks vs. videogames."
Cheny and chick flicks. Duh, it's a no brainer.
