His comedy routines often escalate into angry rants about history politics religion and cultural trends. He hosted the Comedy Central series Lewis Black's Root of All Evil and made regular appearances on The Daily Show delivering his "Back in Black" commentary segment which he has been doing since The Daily Show was hosted by Craig Kilborn. He was voted 51st of the 100 greatest stand-up comedians of all time by Comedy Central in 2004; and was voted 5th in Comedy Central's Stand Up Showdown in 2008 and 11th in 2010. In 2015 he appeared as the voice of Anger in the Pixar film Inside Out a role he reprises in the 2024 sequel. Lewis Black was also a spokesman for the Aruba Tourism Authority appearing in television ads that first aired in late 2009 and 2010. He has served as an "ambassador for voting rights" for the American Civil Liberties Union since 2013. Since 2022 he has been the chair of the executive committee and the board of directors of the Kurt Vonnegut Museum and Library. He had been an honorary member of the board for about 10 years before that. You've seen him on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart offering up his trademark angry observational humor on everything from politics to pop culture. You've seen his energetic stand-up performances on HBO Comedy Central and in venues across the globe. Now for the first time Lewis Black translates his volcanic eruptions into book form in Nothing's Sacred a collection of rants against stupidity and authority which oftentimes go hand in hand. With subversive wit and intellectual honesty Lewis examines the events of his life that shaped his antiauthoritarian point of view and developed his comedic perspective. Growing up in 1950s suburbia when father knew best and there was a sitcom to prove it he began to regard authority with a jaundiced eye at an early age. And as that sentiment grew stronger with each passing year so did his ability to hone in on the absurd. True to form he puts common sense above ideology and distills hilarious biting commentary on all things politically and culturally relevant. "No one is safe from Lewis Black's comic missiles."
