"I'm intimidated by Louis [C.K.]. He really has this [expletive] this scene [attitude]. I saw him get out of his seat 11 times at the Emmys… His approach to all of this is really interesting… He came over and gave me a hug and said 'What you're doing is really important.' I said, 'I dressed as you for Halloween.'"
— Lena Dunham talking about Louis C.K. at The New Yorker Festival.
But…but this was supposed to be the Amy Poehler/Louis C.K. fun times happy hour.
Instead that ginger haired man gave us "New Year's Eve", an episode that dealt with profound loneliness and death like very few shows had ever done before, including previous episodes of Louie. It was pretty shocking and depressing, and only after it settled in the brain for a few hours and all of debris from the WTF bombs was swept away did its excellence become evident.
The season three finale began innocently and humorously enough with C.K. doing the thing he does best — looking like he wouldn't mind if a meteor landed right on his [...]

However, at the time I [...]
Louis C.K. thought it would be a nice idea to take his kids on a Labor Day boat ride on the Harlem River and then this happened [via DNAinfo]:
Comedian Louis "C.K." Szekely, known for his comedy routines and TV shows "Lucky Louie" and "Louie," had his Labor Day weekend joy ride on a yacht cut short when the boat got stuck in the mud off the Harlem River in Inwood Hill Park., according to law enforcement sources.
The funny man was reportedly riding around the island with his two daughters when the boat got stuck in the muck at around 2:30 p.m. Sunday. The boat sat [...]
Somewhere in the middle of an episode of Louie, one of television’s most critically acclaimed comedies, I found myself sobbing uncontrollably. As Louis C.K. confessed his love to his very uninterested platonic friend Pamela, I found myself re-experiencing all the pain and rejection that came from my own dramatic failed attempt to win the girl I'd been infatuated with for over six years. This was the first time I'd cried since my cat Milhouse was put to sleep years ago. I honestly would have never thought an episode of a show like Louie could garner such a reaction from me, but the more I thought about it, the [...]
