“Lewis Black’s Root of All Evil” (Wed at 10:30pm) is a hit!
It’s Comedy Central’s top-rated debut since the launch of “Chappelle’s Show” in 2003! Like “South Park,” it was the No. 1 show in all of television for its timeslot among men 18-34 (2.4/8). For the night, Comedy Central stood as the No. 1 cabler in men 18-24 and 18-34. The influx of young men helped lift “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart” to its most-watched telecast (2.25 million) since October.
This was a great show to be a part of. I had a small but fierce art crew and it was great to be with Chris, Eric, Alison, Sketch, Devon, Mary-Eileen, Karen and so many more of the amazing Mind of Mencia crew for a couple months.This past week Comedy Central threw a premiere party at Lucky Strike in Hollywood (I missed it) and I have a new DVR that I forgot to program so I missed the episode too.
I used to reprimand my parents for never seeing the shows I work on, now I have turned into my parents.
Catch Root Of All Evil every Wednesday at 10:30 on Comedy Central
I just finished Art Directing eight episodes of a really funny new show for Comedy Central. It’s called The Root of All Evil and it’s hosted by the very irate Lewis Black.

The premise of the show is great. Root takes place in a courtroom, with Lewis as the judge, and the attorneys are comics (Patton Oswalt, Andy Kindler, Greg Giraldo and more) who debate over pop culture figures with Lewis ultimately deciding who is The Root of All Evil. A recent case? Paris Hilton vs. Dick Cheney…which one is the Root of All Evil?

A lot of my favorite people work on the show, Alison Freer is doing costumes, Eric McGilloway is the master of motion graphics and of course Chris Robinson rules the nest. Tonight is the wrap party at creator Scott Carter’s house. Scott is the Executive Producer of Real Time on HBO so maybe Bill Maher will be there with his date (a few Playboy Playmates)! The Root of All Evil premieres on March 12 after South Park on Comedy Central.
