Lewis Black, the comedian, author, and playwright, joins us on the podcast this week to talk about his long road to living a creative life. The two discuss the night Brian saw Lewis at the Beacon Theatre and watched him perform a bit about Vince Gill and Amy Grant. They also touch on Lewis’s future with The Daily Show, beginning his career as a playwright, and how Lewis comes up with material. And to top it all off, Lewis gives us a few thoughts on religion and the time he once had faith.
