Lewis Black's Root of All Evil debuted on March 12, 2008, on Comedy Central, featuring the sharp wit of comedian Lewis Black as host. Produced by Scott Carter and written by David Sacks, this mock trial show pitted opposing figures or concepts against each other, with guest comedians stepping in as advocates arguing their case for being the ultimate "root of all evil." The series concluded on October 1, 2008, after 18 episodes, and its cancellation was announced by Black in September 2009. The first season was released on DVD on September 30, 2008, while subsequent episodes remain unavailable.
