Lewis Black's Black Daysnew
The comedian's dealing with a rush of print and radio interviews before breakfast, which is nothing compared to the misery of simply being in L.A. Not just 'cause it's L.A., but because though there's a slight break in the flames that plague the city -- ash still hangs heavy in the air.
