Now he finally has a show of his own: Root of All Evil, premiering Wednesday on Comedy Central, in which he judges comedians' arguments about which of two things they think is more evil. picked by dollyllama 9 months ago

I saw this show the other day at work, with some of my co-workers. We all agreed the show has a lot of potential... it could be very funny. However, the "funny" depends on the comedians "arguing."

Lewis Black doesn't play a huge roll in the show, and much of the actual "debate" seems staged. The first show was amusing... but nothing I would have made a point to watch.

IMO, it gets an "Eh" rating. Not bad, not great... but probably not good enough to be around for 2 seasons.

It is a pretty entertaining show, not awesome, but funny enough to watch.

The guy is a frickin' genius, but this is NOT the vehicle for him, period. He needs to just rant for 30 minutes. I'd watch that ANY DAY.
