Prime Pick

Lewis Black and Greg Giraldo

Evans Ward/Comedy Central

On tonight's "Lewis Black's Root of All Evil" (10:30 p.m. EDT on Comedy Central), Black and his two comedian cronies, Andy Kindler and Greg Giraldo, determine which is more evil, Donald Trump or Viagra. Kindler has plenty of nasty things to say about Trump, but Giraldo edges him out with this comment on Viagra: "I wish there was a pill that would stop erections. Maybe this way, I could enjoy 'Dancing With the Stars' for the same reasons everybody else seems to."
