You just don't - I know too much about life to have any optimism because I know even if it's nice, it's going to lead to (BEEP).

(Soundbite of television program, 'Louie') Let's start with an excerpt of him performing at the club. In his new FX series 'Louie,' he plays a stand-up comic who is divorced and shares custody of his two young daughters, which pretty much describes C.K.'s current situation.Įarlier in his career, he wrote for 'Late Night with Conan O'Brien,' 'The Late Show with David Letterman,' and 'The Chris Rock Show.' In his new show 'Louie,' we get to see his character at work, doing standup in a small club.
He was a married father when he created and starred in the HBO series 'Lucky Louie,' in which he constantly quarreled with his wife. Married life wasn't easy for comic Louis C.K., and neither is being a divorced father, at least that's the impression you get from his comedy series.
