NEW YORK, Nov. 3, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- SiriusXM today
announced that on Monday, November 7,
the Comedy Greats channel will exclusively air a new standup
performance from comedian Lewis
Black. "This Should Have Been a Special" will premiere on
channel 94 at 6:00 pm ET.
Known for his humorous rants and unique comedic style, Black
pulls no punches during his new one-hour show. Set to air the night
before the election, this never-before-heard material features
Black skewering everyone from terrorists to politicians to even
weathermen. During one set Black jokes that while his entire
military experience consists of three years in the cub scouts, he
still has a better idea of how to handle ISIS than anyone running
for office.
"I'm truly looking forward to Lewis
Black yelling at me for an hour," said Jack Vaughn, SVP of Comedy Programming,
SiriusXM. "This is a unique election, and I can't think of a better
way for it to end than listening to Lewis
Black. I'm thrilled to bring our audience this brand new
show, which delivers a combination of laugh-out-loud humor and
social commentary in a manner that is quintessentially Lewis."
In addition to his performance airing on Comedy Greats, Black
will do a special, closed-door set exclusively for SiriusXM
subscribers. Shortly after his special wraps on the evening of
November 7th the comedian
will head to downtown New York for
"Lewis Black Live at the Barrow Street Theatre," which will offer
lucky SiriusXM fans an up close and personal show.
"This Should Have Been a Special" premieres on Monday at
6:00 pm ET and will re-air on
Wednesday at 10:00 am and
8:00 pm ET, as well as Thursday at
11:00 am and 7:00 pm ET. For more information
