Just get Louis on the show already. Everybody wants it. After him, get Keanu Reeves.

His leaked set was funnier than most comic specials on Netflix.

I would like Louis back. He’s one of the few that are truly hilarious.

Louis C.K will be in Portugal-Lisbon May 24th...4 shows, sold out in 12 minutes! If America doesn't want him Europe sure does!

Why doesnt Joe Rogan get Louis on the show?

Joe bring louis on. He could use a friend right now.

"Jokes don't do well in a courtroom." - John Mulaney

This may put me way out in the weeds in terms of passing for a civilized human being, but my attitude is that *EVERYTHING* is fair game for comedy. Comedy is what makes all the horrific shit that happens in life tolerable, why would you want to make it off limits? If you don't like a joke, or it triggers you, that's fine, absolutely fine. There are jokes I think are unfunny or insensitive, or laugh at the expense of vulnerable people, and if you tell those kinds of jokes, chances are, I won't like your act. But I'm not going to take to the internet with flaming pitchforks and demand that comedy clubs don't book you for gigs. It just means that you have bits I don't find funny. But when your angle is that you want to put someone out of work because they're making art you don't like, you're no different from any other prude. You're Tipper Gore trying to run rock music off the radio. You're Mary Whitehouse trying to get Chuck Berry's music off the air in the U.K. You're a 200 foot douche-canoe, and you need to step the fuck off.

PUT LOUIE on the show man!

That bootleg Louie act, apparently a work in progress??? Any way, it was about a million times funnier than 99% of the shit out there from other comics.

"Remember when that lady drowned her kids" "no but it sounds hilarious" 😂😂

I remember when "no means no" and "yes means yes". Like, Louis literally asked two consenting adults if a sexual act could be done and if they were okay with that. They said yes, now we take issue with this? Do we have to consider each other, not as humans, but our place in society, and if we have more power than the other person, so "yes" might actually mean "no, but I'm too afraid to say that because of your position of power". With that thought process, should everyone stay in their own class when thinking about relationships? Is Cinderella a fucked up story because her consent wasn't actually consent, because the Prince should've understood the power he had as the prince of a kingdom, and she felt like she couldn't say "no" to the Prince?

If louis is coming with a new set, I'm watching it 100%

There was a time, not too long ago, when nobody had to explain adult humor to other adults or kids for that matter

Louis CK is a legend. One of the funniest comedians I’ve ever listened to. And his leaked set was 🔥

Louis ck, Bill burr, and chapelle best comics

Props to joe for having a backbone and standing up for what's right. I really hope he has louie on eventuality.

Lets all tattoo the worst thing we ever did in life on our foreheads and see who had anything to say about louie

“Half ass comics” I can’t help but think he’s talking about Judd Apatow here

Joe, you hit it on the head when you said "people just like having an easy target". You need to have an expert on Narcissim on the show to talk about the many faces of the behavior... because scapegoating and exiling and "canceling" is all narcissistic behavior.

OF COURSE...BUT MAYBEEE!!

If Louie CK tours again I'll definitely go see him. I'll also watch any show he does on TV.

Louis CK would compete with the most viewed Joe Rogan Podcasts

Louis didn’t even touch the woman who made complaints. There is scale of how bad things are. His offending is at the low end.

Audio is outta sync Jamie

SJW: omg that comedian said something outrageous and offensive! Sane human: yeah, that's what comedians do. For like thousands of years. It's literally their job.

Comics wanted to flame CK because removing someone funnier than them was a pro move for their career.

COVID-19 will only END when L. CK RETURNS! The world needs him; especially Now. UH HELLO: It's September 2022 - Happy 55th Birthday Louis It's no coincidence Louis CK is back and Covid-19 is history!!

Im a woman. I love Louis Ck. I loved him through this ordeal and still think he's amazing.

I will always love Louis. He is genius. His show was so smart and so good! Been a fan since Lucky Louie. ♥️

I had the opportunity to see Louis CK last night in Brussels, Belgium. He really killed it. He still got it, only he's much darker now. The opening was just ...wow. He started by addressing the elephant in the room. (The fapgate..) His new material is rather extreme and not suitable for the prudes. What an amazing comedian.

Criticizing comedy out of context is like reading song lyrics without the music- you'll never know the rhythm, understand the context, or feel the soul of the material. I'm excited to see Louie's finished work.

He's talking to you, Judd Apatow

Everyone stop saying, why hasnt joe got louis yet. Its not joes decision if louis wants to do it im sure he would be on the next day but its louis's choice not joe's....and we all know joe is not the type of guy to pressure people like that.

i watched kevin heart special in london and had to quickly find the louis ck new set just so i could laugh again.

That's a fantastic example: a mother who drowns her own kids is about the most horrifically un-funny thing I can possibly imagine... and yet that joke was hilarious, even second hand. You guys nailed it: both things can exist simultaneously.

that's it! *im off to watch a Louis CK set* he's rude funny

Comics he's referring to are Pete Holmes and Judd Apatow...

Louis brought me out of some slumps with his comedy. His "Louis" FX series was a work of comic genius and I miss it.

Louis is still the best ever. EVER.

I saw Louie on tour with Bill Burr, Sarah Silverman, Hannibal Burress, and a few others. Louis made them ALL look like amateurs, and I’m pretty sure he was only doing a workout set. He’s an apex comedian.

dave chappelle said it best "iff seeing luis old vrinkled d.... makes u give up on showbizz u werent gonna make it anywayˇ

Bring Louie on, he was punished enough, its time for comeback

Louis is 10000% redeemable. I always thought that. Once he came out and responded to it I forgave him because he handled it well and seemed very genuine.

Louis C.K. needs to come on the show to promote his new special

when the comics are silenced, were doomed

His deer bit is the best of all time

Met Louis CK long before he became famous. He used to hang out on the USENET newsgroup alt.comedy.stand-up and would usually give out the most sage advice of any of the road comics who hung out there. I remember totally bagging on him for Pootie Tang and when it flopped, I sorta won the debate between us about it flopping... and yet he was actually doing something. He was writing for Conan at the time, and made it big eventually. He was never a creepy guy or someone who was nasty online... just the opposite. We met in person about 15 years ago at the Addison Improv and he was incredibly cool.

The leaked material was pretty funny, I hope he will come back. And he should be on the podcast of course.

I didn't think any part of it was "half baked". I thought it was amazing.

love what Joe said about phony empathy.

JOE, HAVE LOUIS CK ON THE SHOW!!!! GIVE YOUR AUDIENCE WHAT THEY WANT!!!!

Nail on the head. When is enough enough?? Louis is one of the best comedians of all time, he's lost dozens of millions of dollars and completely went off the radar for over a year. Let the man get back to making our lives better

I know joe's never gonna read this so i can say that louis' half finished leaked set was funnier than anything I've ever heard from joe

It's like someone publishing a rough draft of the new Stephen King novel and the media freaking out because it was riddled with typos.

"I just thought to myself, that n^^^^^ made the SHIT outta my coffee" Louis is HILARIOUS

Joe keeps saying the joke doesn't work but i loved it. it was hilarious.

GET LOUIS ON THE PODCAST. IT WILL SET HIM FREE. WE ALL WANT TO SEE IT

Joe "I talk more than my guest" Rogan

The world needs more Louis CK. He is probably the only comedian I always love seeing new shit from and can't never not enjoy. The man is too hilarious.

Dude, if Marion Barry could get re-elected, why can't we give Lou another shot? If Kobe can win 2 more championships, why can't we love Louie again?

The end being "comedy is humanity's irrelevent forbidden fruit."

Joe it's time to bring Louie, he dropped his special, he addressed the matter, now it's time to get more of Louie and ur show is the most non-explicit platform he can get, get him on the showwwwww!!! (please)

Louis has always been a genius and his comedy hasn't changed. Louis should no longer be cancelled. There has to statute of limitations on mistakes that weren't violent and illegal. His new special is awesome.

Jamie, the audio has been out of sync for a couple of clips you've posted

Louis is the only one of the many accused who came out and said the stories were true. That is why he’ll come back. He didn’t lie or try to make the women around him out to be crazy. His comeback doesn’t need our approval because he took the right action. It doesn’t matter if we like it. In taking the right action and telling the truth he created the opportunity for himself to overcome the guilt and shame. You know who didn’t face the truth about the fucked up things he participated in (for a fucked up woman?) Anthony Bourdain, who I loved. Louis actually did right by all of us.

On the meanwhile Louis CK sold out 4 shows in Portugal in 4 minutes. twitter != reality

I’ve had a treat last week to be at first roll right in front of the GREAT Louis CK. He’s in Europe doing small rooms for 200 people, celphones locked inside Yondr bags. Tony Woods and Joe Machi opening. It’s already a perfectly executed 50 minutes set. Loved the jokes, laughed my teeths off and I can’t wait for the special to come out and watch again. That’s a man who deserves his carreer back, instead of those oportunists that are playing the “i’m offended” card.

Totally agree Louis CK is a great comedian and he definitely isn't like Bill Cosby

In comedy nothing is sacred and that's why it's amazing when done well

We deserve Louis CK back on track. The "weird" hes done is not enough to condemn him and delete him from our lives

Humor helps me deal with my own tragedies. Especially humor regarding the tragedy.

The thing I appreciated about Louis CK is that he didn't deny deny deny allegations like many people did. He collaborated the stories of the women. Then he said he thought he obtained consent and then realized later that the power dynamic was an issue. What he did definitely wasn't okay but the fact that he actually can learn and improve let's me think we can forgive him as a society.

GET LOUIS ON THE SHOW!!!!

21:49 I love that Louis even addressed IN HIS SET the fact that he lost friends throughout the entire ordeal.

I love Louis CK , I m from Québec and my first langague is french , Louis is my best english stand up comedy all the time, I learn english with him because he don’t talk to fast and he make me laugh so much. When I heard funny joke I always say the same thing , english or french, I say HAHAHA !!! I wish the best for him.

Saw Louie CK live in February this year. It was such a highlight for me!! I’ve missed his comedy so much!

I saw Dave Chappell a few weeks ago in Minneapolis and god damn that guy has some good stuff coming up

Louis just needs to call Paul Reubens and be like yo Pee Wee, where do I go from here?

Crazy thought .. how about saying “no”

Maybe he could go on one of the largest podcasts on the planet hosted by a fellow comedian

My opinion: if people want to pay to see him, so be it. It's up to the people really.

CK when I'm high, Burr when I'm drunk 👌

I forgive him .I want to hear him again .

People are so frustrated with the state of their lives that they're just irrationally lashing out at the first thing they can to make it through the day thinking that maybe they're not the worst off in the world. It's a society full of sick people that are being celebrated and empowered into their mental and emotional sickness.

Who sits around reading stand up jokes? What is this 1980s Readers Digest???

Saw him in Richmond, amazing.

Its just funny to me how wen this whole Louis thing first dropped i remember vividly watching the podcast & hearing Joe be completely on the other side & almost shunning Louis & acting like he was some disciple of Satan raping & forcing people to watch him beat off but now he's acting like he's been championing him the whole time & that he's for comedians... Bullshit!

Don't know why they keep saying Louis new jokes weren't ready.. I thought they were hilarious.

Louis CK is pure gold

the way he said "Do you Not, Know what a work out set is" Had me dead x33

I remember seeing Louie live and him saying 'They said No Jews are allowed'. I found it funny and I'm Jewish. BECAUSE IT'S COMEDY!

A little sad that Joe doesn't recognize it's actually a really good joke and Louis has it pretty tight already. Joe keeps saying it was "half baked" "not ready" etc. Joe, it's better than 90% of your set.

10:20 “She drowned her kids” “It sounds hilarious”

Comedians; are suppose to go to the uncomfortable places, trample on propriety, shock and charm you. The only one in the room that can mock the king in his own court. When you kill the jester you kill your own liberty. CK has always done this. He is still a genius at it. Personally this half done show was better than his last “finished” show.

10:25- I absolutely lost it to that hidden gem of a joke lol

Why hasn't Joe had Louis on his podcast yet? He has defended him enough and keeps bringing up this show and everyone's view on it. GET LOUIS ON

Does it bother anyone else that joe’s foam piece on his headset is not centered? No? Just me?

I went to Joe’s show maybe a year or so ago. He had everybody lock their phones into some kind of bag to prevent things like the recording issue from happening. I get why they do it but it was a fiasco to get everybody’s shit into the bags. It ended up causing the show to start like an hour late because of how long it made it take to get into the venue but I respected him a lot because he told the venue that the show wouldn’t start until everybody had been able to get to their seats.

this is a great conversation. also, it's nice to see that a GIANT show like this is struggling with audio sync. it's probably the most frustrating thing when editing.
