'Black Thoughts' With Comedian Larry Wilmore

As senior black correspondent for The Daily Show, Larry Wilmore's used to being politically incorrect for the sake of humor.

In his new book, I'd Rather We Got Casinos, he mines black culture — beyond politics — for comedy. In more than 25 bits, Wilmore imagines "Text Messages from a Birmingham Jail," muses on black weathermen, pens five letters to the NAACP, and eulogizes "the 'N' Word."

Wilmore has numerous comedy credits to his name. He created The Bernie Mac Show, and co-created The PJs. He has also performed and written for the U.S. version of The Office.
