Lewis Black's second season of Root of All Evil is back next week. And the topics on the premiere are close to my heart: Ultimate Fighting Vs. Bloggers. Because I am both a blogger and an ultimate fighter (okay, maybe not the second one), I will definitely be tuning in to see Patton Oswalt and Andrew Daly argue the case for each and hear Black's final judgment on which is more evil. I have a sinking feeling it's going to be bloggers. The show is also getting a few new comedians. Jerry Minor and Andrea Savage will join Daly, Oswalt, Greg Giraldo, Andy Kindler, Kathleen Madigan, and Paul F.Thompkins. And here's some of the other topics: Steriods Vs. Boob Jobs, Disney Vs. Scientology, Strip Clubs Vs. Sororities, Olympic Games Vs. Drinking Games, NRA Vs. PETA, and The Hills Vs. Rocket Scientists. I think the Disney Vs. Scientology episode is going to be especially funny. Which debate do you think will be good?
Root of All Evil premieres on July 30th at 10:30 p.m. ET on Comedy Central.

I've always wondered something, why do most Ultimate Fighting Matches end with both contenders grappling in a sweaty manner? What ever happened to kicking and punching each other until one of 'em drops to the ground and gets knocked out?
Can't wait for the next season! Woot! Patton Oswalt!

This show never worked for me, it just felt too setup and forced. The environment and premise suggested something more improvisational, but the whole thing felt entirely staged.

I'm actually really looking forward to the $cientology/Disney episode!
I'm also looking forward to laughing at $cientologists bawwwing about "religious persecution" and how comedy central are "bigots" for allowing such "hatred" on the network.
With all the incriminating leaks & bad PR that horrible cult has been getting lately, lets see what happens if they try to sue anybody NOW. ;^)
