[Audio Slideshow] Comedian Lewis Black At Occupy Wall Street

Comedian Lewis Black, most notable for his “Back In Black” segments on Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show” program, gave Turnstyle News an interview during the Occupy Wall Street protests on October 5, 2011. Standing on the sidelines of Foley Square, Black was virtually unnoticed by the revelers around him, smoking a cigarette and trying to capture the events for himself on his mobile phone.

Turnstyle reporter Charlie Foster caught up with Black and gathered his thoughts on the growing movement.

I’d almost be willing to bet money that not a single major media outlet will even attempt to interview Lewis Black about what’s going on right now. Here’s hoping somebody at The Daily Show knows/finds out and lobbies to get him on the air.

 Jon Stewart and the Burden of History

He’s not so funny anymore, and it’s not only because he’s come to take himself seriously. It’s because in the Obama era, we’re starting to see the price of refusing to stand for anything.
