He went on an anti Asian rant during a comedy set. It went viral and Tony lost some deals.

He's the last guy who probably cares.

Louis C.K. Announces First Big Tour Since Admitting to Several Instances of Sexual Misconduct

 

[Don'tcry4mejanhrdina]

Norm Macdonald is my favourite, he's never not funny. I like comedians who are just naturally funny in conversation without it being just a bit. Patrice O'Neal was another one who was always funny.

Louis C.K. Announces First Big Tour Since Admitting to Several Instances of Sexual Misconduct

Louis is a rare talent, one of the all-time great comedians IMO. How well the tour does will illustrate people's willingness to separate craft from personal flaws. It also helps that Louis tackled his crime head-on, acknowledging it in writing and onstage.

He's one of my favourites too, but he still handled the situation all wrong.

If he had just sincerely apologized from the outset, who knows?

And some noted that C.K., while apologetic, didn't actually say "sorry" to the women. Nowhere in his 500 word statement were the words "sorry", "apologize" or "apology".

Was that Louis C.K. apology really one at all? | CNN

I never know how much of it is legal advice not to use certain words.

I'm not sure how fair those criticisms are. Even if he didn't use the words, "I'm sorry", the message he did send was strong and clear – at least to me. He called out his actions and explained precisely why they were wrong from the women's perspective. The question – which can't be answered here – is whether his doubters were looking for a specific type of apology or whether they have no intention of forgiving him no matter what he says.

 

[John Price]

It's tricky because Louis did apologize (and he also asked for permission first, if they said no it's not like he forced them to watch) but people are upset because of "power and control"

You didn't have to watch him do it

If you said no he wouldn't do it

"BUT HE INTIMIDATED OTHER PEOPLE AND TRIED TO SILENCE THEM"

UK comedian Sean Lock passed from cancer. Very droll......very

From what I understand, hadn't he actually done so in private to at least some of the women? Could be wrong though.

he did

Anyone hear about what Brendan Schaub did? He might not actually be a stand up comedian, but he certainly is a stand up fellow, I’ll tell you what.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

So....damn....great. On the edge the entire time on national TV, dares the audience to be uncomfortable and just kills it. A 4-minute joke on child molesters.
