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.

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...

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...

Comedy Central announced the nominees for the second annual Comedy Awards earlier today and it was no laughing matter.

Considering its massive box office and award season success, the nominations for "Bridesmaids" — which include Comedy Film, Comedy Director - Film (Paul Feig), Comedy Screenpla...

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...
