NEW YORK -- How many times have you watched the Weather Channel and thought, "They sure could use a comedian?" Apparently they were thinking the same thing.
Starting Wednesday night, Lewis Black from "The Daily Show" over on Comedy Central can try out some forecasting maps and chat on camera with weathercaster Dave Schwartz.
Black also gets to deliver a few comic riffs on global warming and airport delays.
Recently, the Weather Channel quietly started asking celebrities to drop by if they're near the channel's Atlanta headquarters.
As it turns out, Black is a closet weather fan and was quick to reply.
The Weather Channel hopes other comedians and celebrities will eventually stop by, too.
