Video -- Grumpy Comedy Pal Lewis Black Has a Hit on His Hands
Root of All Evil did remarkably well. And, if you have a DVR or you're an insomniac, you can still check it out, the schedule is here.
The show -- which bills itself as putting pop culture on trial, with Black "presiding over the comedic proceedings" -- featured a mock trial over which was most evil, the Catholic Church or Oprah Winfrey. It grabbed 2.3 million viewers and topped the 18-24 and 18-34 male demos in the time slot and was second for the night behind its lead-in, South Park.
Comedy has long been looking for a show that could hold onto more of that South Park lead-in. South Park drew 3.1 million viewers, which Comedy said is up 11% from its debut last season.
And, if you missed it I have a clip after the jump.
