Comedian Lewis Black, known for his regular appearances on “The Daily Show,” recently expressed his frustration with undecided voters ahead of the presidential election, which is just two weeks away.
Black started his stint with the show in 1996 and gained recognition for his “Back in Black” segments. These segments were characterized by his comedic tirades focusing on political and cultural issues. His contributions spanned the tenures of Craig Kilborn, Jon Stewart, and Trevor Noah, making Black one of the longest-standing correspondents on the show.
Black, known for his signature rants, targeted those still uncertain about their choice in the upcoming election. He used humor to underscore what he perceives as a puzzling occurrence in the current politically charged climate.
“We still have no idea who the (expletive) is gonna win! And that’s all thanks to one very special group of morons,” Black stated vehemently during his segment. He expressed frustration with voters who remain undecided despite two years of campaigning. He compared these voters to people in an ice cream shop asking for multiple samples before settling on a flavor, noting, “It’s a $3 cone, (expletive).“
The comedian expressed astonishment that anyone could remain undecided given the extensive media coverage and political debates this election cycle has seen. Mocking undecided voters conducting their own research, Black joked, “Go ahead, do your own research. Hopefully, the library will let you huff paint inside.”
Black also pointed out the influence of celebrity endorsements on voter decisions, citing an undecided voter swayed by Taylor Swift’s endorsement. He criticized the dependence on celebrities for political guidance, stating, “If you’re waiting for a Kardashian to tell you who to vote for, go ahead and sit this one out.”
In conclusion, Black, with a sense of resignation, advised undecided individuals to stay home on election day and abstain from voting.
