It's hard to get the full effect of Lewis Black's gloriously bitter comedy if you're only listening to him.

In the spring of 1954, Sid Caesar was America’s number one mensch. Each Saturday night, the 31-year-old sketch comic from Yonkers performed for a crowd of twenty million—some crammed into Manhattan’s cavernous Center Theater, but most plopped on their couches, where Caesar beamed back at them through some of the first TVs to light up living rooms. For many Americans, Caesar was television. And Your Show of Shows, the 90-minute variety program that catapulted him to stardom, was his magnum opus.

The Russian humor of the 21st century is quite different from the middle of the 20th. Gone are the bread lines, the Communist party, and one-room dwellings in a communal house. No one is sent to the Gulag for making a joke. Even for jokes about Putin, even when they compare him to a Czar. So the Russian people’s humor adapts. It has become more philosophical on the one hand or moved into the family and business arenas on the other. The jokers can be rich but are mostly poor. They can be of average intelligence but are mostly wise. They may have enemies but rise above the hatred. They are ...
