NOTHING'S SACRED

Comedian and commentator Black, of "The Daily Show," tells the story of his life, complete with tirades delivered in his trademark irascible, no-nonsense, expletive-laden style. His Baby Boomer story is sometimes overly familiar, but it gives the material a framework, and Black keeps it entertaining, aided by his likable voice, which is deep and resonant. Some of his material is “in your face”; the squeamish or easily offended should avoid this program. Others will find it amusing, sometimes even funny, as Black bursts bubbles of pomposity and foolishness, telling it like it is, and was.
