Black is back in TV via series deal with SPT
Acid-tongued comedian Lewis Black has inked a development deal with Sony Pictures Television to star in a half-hour or an hour series project built around his cantankerous stage persona. Black, a regular contributor on Comedy Central's The Daily Show With Jon Stewart, is on a nationwide tour. Upcoming for the comedian are the release of his book, Nothing's Sacred; the DVD of his HBO special, Lewis Black: Black on Broadway; and stand-up CD, Lewis Black: Luther Burbank Performing Arts Center Blues. Black also will return as host of the Pollstar Concert Industry Awards, set for Feb 4. Black, who starred in a comedy pilot from Victor Fresco that was in consideration at ABC this past development season, was repped in the deal with SPT by Matt Ochacher at the Agency for the Performing Arts, and attorney John Moonves. Black is managed by Joanne Astrow and Mark Lonow.
