Larry Wilmore, host of Comedy Central's new late night talk show "The Nightly Show," wants you to know, in no uncertain terms, exactly why he voted for Barack Obama to be the President of the United States:

"I voted for Obama because he's black," he said at the start of the "Nightly Show's" third episode. "I'm just clearing it up. Because people always ask me, 'Do you agree with Obama's policies?' And here's the truth: I agree with the policy that he's black."
