A three-time Emmy-winner and longtime HBO favorite takes the stage for his fourth stand-up comedy special on the network when LOUIS C.K.: OH MY GOD debuts SATURDAY, APRIL 13 (10:00-11:00 p.m. ET/PT) on HBO. Taped at the Celebrity Theatre in Phoenix, the exclusive presentation features Louis C.K. in an all-new performance before a live audience where he discusses such topics as the food chain, animals, divorce, strange anecdotes, broken morality, murder and mortality.

One of the best-known stand-up comedians today, Louis C.K. won two Emmys® last year, for Writing for a Comedy Series for t...

Louis C.K. is taking an extended break to recharge his batteries before returning to his hit show Louie.

The comedian, who won two Emmy Awards for the sitcom last month, was due to have season four of his comedy air next summer, but the premiere will now come in spring 2014.

Louis C.K. requested the hiatus to allow him to continue his stand-up tour for the remainder of 2012 before writing new scripts in early 2013.

He says, "It's a luxury I asked for. The last three seasons have been this surge of fun and work and stories and it's been great, but I want the show to keep getting better...

While many people were watching Olympics coverage, there was another notable happening in the television industry over the weekend.

"Game Of Thrones" won the coveted Program of the Year prize at the 2012 Television Critics Association Awards on Saturday night in Los Angeles.

Other big show winners included "Breaking Bad" and "Downton Abbey." "Homeland" actress Claire Danes and comedian Louis C.K. won the top acting awards.

David Letterman was honored with the Career Achievement Award, and the TCA paid homage to "Cheers" by presenting the beloved series with the Heritage Award.

Comic Louis C.K. was labeled a "rape apologist" after he tweeted to Daniel Tosh in the midst of his rape joke controversy. Turns out, C.K.'s tweet meant something completely different.

Everyone was up in arms last week when a blogger wrote that Daniel Tosh said that it would be funny if "like five guys" raped her during a comedy show at The Laugh Factory in Los Angles. The comment went viral, forcing Tosh to comment on it via Twitter.

"The point i was making before i was heckled is there are awful things in the world but you can still make jokes about them. ‪#deadbabies," Tosh tweeted. ...

Louis C.K. has proven you don't need Ticketmaster to make money. Following his decision to sell directly through his website rather than a third party ticketing service, the comedian has sold over 100,000 tickets and made around $4.5 million in sales according to the Associated Press.

Louis C.K. and Aziz Ansari are on the forefront of a new wave for comedians. Last year, the two sold comedy specials online for $5, rather than go through the process of selling DVDs or premiering the shows on premium channels like HBO. Louis' special made over $1 million in 12 days.

Explaining the move to f...

It's another bad day for Louis C.K. and we're better off for it, as Louie returns for its third season tonight at 10:30 PM ET/PT on FX.

While his stand-up material is still too vulgar for this reviewer's taste (the opening bit of the premiere so much so that I fast-forwarded through half of it), within the show itself, Louie is still getting plenty of mileage out of being the most downtrodden person alive, and still has plenty of dead-on observations about life.

In tonight's "Everything Is Wrong," for example, he and another motorist park in front of not one, not two, but four street si...

Comedian Louis C.K. is waging war on ticket scalpers by selling access to his shows online and vowing to cancel any seats that are passed on.

The funnyman has become increasingly frustrated seeing scalpers charging his fans extortionate rates for tickets to his sold-out concerts. So he's devised his own way of tackling them by selling passes to his gigs directly to fans through his website and banning anyone who sells their ticket on to a third party.

In a post on his website, C.K. writes, "Making my shows affordable has always been my goal but two things have always worked against that...

Time magazine just released its annual list of the 100 Most Influential People who "inspire us, entertain us, challenge us and change our world."

British soul singer Adele made it onto the prestigious Time 100 list. U.K. royal Kate Middleton, a.k.a. Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, is also a new name in the lineup following her wedding to Prince William last year. Her sister Pippa Middleton, who was recently embroiled in a gun/paparazzi controversy, surprisingly made the cut.

Bajan popstar Rihanna, movie executive Harvey Weinstein and President Barack Obama are also included on the 2012 l...

On Comedy Central's Ugly Americans, Kurt Metzger plays an unemployed zombie who once had relations with a toaster. That should clue you in to his sense of humor.

The Last Comic Standing alum provides the voice for Randall Skeffington, who became a member of the undead to (no surprise) attract a girl, only to find out she'd moved on to warlocks.

He's unemployed, has too much time on his hands, and still has issues with his parents. He's one of the many quirky residents of an alternate-reality New York City that's the backdrop for Ugly Americans, which begins its new season tonight at 10:30...

The 63rd Primetime Emmy Awards take place tomorrow. ChaCha recently polled a selection of its users on the nominees fashion choices, expected wardrobe malfunctions, impromptu kisses and more.

Who is going to be fashion's biggest nightmare at the Emmy's this year?
January Jones – Mad Men (24 percent) (She just had her baby, so we don't think she'll show up this year.)

Christina Hendricks – Mad Men (11 percent)
Evan Rachel Wood – Mildred Pierce (57 percent) or...

To coincide with the second season of the eclectic FX comedy starring Louis C.K., 20th Century FOX recently released Louie: The Complete First Season in a two-disc, thirteen-episode collection. Here's my review of the Blu-Ray/DVD combo set.

The Show

Louie is most definitely an acquired taste. (I'm not complaining; so was Archer and now I can't get enough of that show.) One-part stand-up, one-part awkward comedy, it's basically Louis C.K. playing himself - without the laugh track or sitcom feel that accompanies most shows where comedians try to play versions of themselves. It reminds ...

If you’ve seen actor/comedian Louis C.K.’s absurdist comedy “Louie” on FX, chances are you either love it or don’t get it at all. The show is unique for a variety of reasons, most notably the fact that C.K. not only stars in the show, but also writes, directs and edits every episode himself. He is also one of the producers and has a contract with FX Networks that gives him complete freedom in terms of story and production, something that is unheard of in the television industry. There is no question that “Louie” really is his show.

“The writing is the most difficult because that’s where it...

The official poster for HBO's comedy special Talking Funny was released today. The intimate group conversation between Ricky Gervais, Jerry Seinfeld, Chris Rock and Louis C.K. will debut on Friday, April 22 at 9pm, only on HBO.

What does it mean to be a successful comedian? How far can the boundaries of taste be pushed to get a laugh?

Ricky Gervais is executive producer of the special.

The quartet reveal the secrets of their success, share hysterical anecdotes and jokes and remind each other of the valuable lessons they’ve learned along the way (including how to shamelessly pilfer each...

Olivia Munn looked stunning in a strapless blue dress at Comedy Central's first ever Comedy Awards, which were a big hit on Saturday night. But the event wasn't live - it was only a taping. The show doesn't air until Sunday, April 10, but you can check out pics of some of the stars who were there and see the full list of winners right here.

Tina Fey, Alec Baldwin and David Letterman were among those laughing as they were honored for their achievements during the night's ceremony.

Fey won the Best Comedy Actress In A Film for her role in Date Night, while the 30 Rock creator's TV co-star B...

The last day of the TCA (Television Critics Association) Winter/Spring 2011 press tour was the one I'd had circled on my calendar, because it was all about FX. I have really fallen in love with this network and the people behind it over the past year. They gave me the highlight of my trip: a panel devoted to one of my all-time favorite series (Justified), putting me in the same room with one of my all-time favorite actors (Timothy Olyphant). I'll geek out about that later, though. First, let's talk about what else the cable net has up its sleeve...

I've been going over my zombie survival plan and acquiring a variety of weapons in preparation for the arrival of "Zombieland" in theaters this week. Actually, I haven't been acquiring weapons since purchasing a gun is a lengthy process in Massachusetts, but I have been foaming at the mouth to see this zombie comedy since I watched the initial trailer several months ago.

Jesse Eisenberg and Woody Harrelson look like the perfect odd couple paired together in the hopes of survival. Eisenberg oozes the fraidy cat vibe in every clip I've seen of the movie, while Harrelson does his best mac...

From writer/director Chris Rock (The Longest Yard, Madagascar, Head Of State) comes a comedy about a man with the perfect marriage – his wife is beautiful, intelligent and a fantastic mother to his children – but there's just one little problem: he's bored out of his suburban businessman's mind. Despite having it all, Richard Cooper can't help but fantasize about having nearly ever woman he sees. Still, it's only fantasy. Then, one fateful day, an alluring, free-spirited, not to mention stunning, old friend suddenly appears at his office door, putting him to the ultimate test. Just how muc...
