Lewis Black

The Emperor’s New Clothes - The Naked Truth Tour

Lewis and his team wanted to play off of the folktale that inspired the tour name. This tour took place during the primary races leading up to the 2016 presidential election. They wanted to have the candidates nude behind podiums, with black bars hiding their identity. I came up with the idea of treating it like the game show Hollywood Squares. That concept was chosen and Lewis even talked about it during his appearance on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert.
