Executive summary: Rants on The Daily Show Lewis Black studied drama at Yale, and he's written 40+ plays, but comedy pays the bills. He's famous for facial contortions and acerbic commentary on The Daily Show. He's also an actor (see Hannah and Her Sisters, Jacob's Ladder, and Mad About You), and yearns for a situation comedy of his own. He's made several pilots for possible sit-coms since the mid-1990s, none of which have been picked up.
Black narrated Quayle Season, a 1992 documentary collecting moronic clips from former Vice President Dan Quayle.
