Louis C.K., creator of the cult movie Pootie Tang, and a former writer for both David Letterman and Chris Rock, is one of my favorite comedians, though the television medium is not the best place to see his act. When I heard scuttlebutt that he was developing a sitcom based on his experience as a father, I immediately groaned and thought there was no way his irreverent, subversive humor was going to work on a network sitcom. But then, the sky opened up, a light shone down, and a heavenly voice said to me: "Fear not, Alan, for Louis C.K.'s sitcom will be done live, and on HBO." After explaining to God that my name was Adam and not Alan, I began to dance for joy. Look for the show to air in January. The project has no title yet, but I'll keep an eye out for you.

I resent Louie C.K. for using my first name for his last name, but he's really funny, so I guess it's okay.

Louis CK is by far the funniest and most honest comic out there today. Everything he says you do or feel inside and i cant wait for his show with limitless of HBO.
