NEW YORK, Jan. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- Comedy all-star Lewis Black is bringing all-new laughs to COMEDY CENTRAL. The Network Television Premiere of "Lewis Black: Red, White & Screwed" debuts Sunday, January 20 at 9:00 p.m.

In "Red, White & Screwed," Black returns to his hometown of Washington DC for another stint of hilariously explosive rants. Outspoken and disruptive, Black takes on everything from evolution to politics to the president and his "defeat" of a cedar tree. It's an all-new hour of in-your-face comedy viewers won't want to miss!

Lewis Black is a Grammy Award-winning stand-up comedian, author, playwright and actor. Black has made regular appearances on COMEDY CENTRAL's "The Daily Show" in his "Back in Black" commentary segment. On March 12, Black will star in the all-new COMEDY CENTRAL original series "Lewis Black's Root of All Evil".
