He sold his daughter for 100 dogfart scenes at 2K a piece.

He's chipping away at the debt.

He'll do another tour and he'll be fine. Or maybe he could sell that shit to netflix or something.

>Looking through his tax return shown the comedian was attempting to write off services from a company called 'Bucks4Hire' to reduce his tax bill. The IRS eventually refused this write off.

Show is not as well as he had hoped, but Louis CK is not in a massive amount of debt, and certainly not from Horace & Pete. Don't believe a word from this spic cuck.

Horace and Pete is actually a pretty damn good show, more like watch a play unfold. A couple episodes are fucking stinkers though but for the most part it was solid.

I can't believe it cost him so much to produce it though, was he actually paying Edie Falco, Buscemi and Alda their usual acting fees? If so they screwed him as it was a passion project.
>>
>>68147013
The first episode struck a chord with me but the second fell so flat I couldn't bother watching the third. Still I think it's interesting to see that he's producing content that is pretty much completely dramatic. I have an inkling that he's thinking of going the Woody Allen route.

What the fuck is Horace and Pete. Seriously, i've never even heard of it in all the time i've been a Louis C.K fan

Shit i was just blown away by the first episode. Is it worth watching the rest?
>>
>>68147484
It's a semi-experimental web series he puts out. As another anon said, it's shot and written sort of like a series of plays. The thing is, he wants you to pay for each and every episode individually. I had a group of friends that were alternating paying for episodes and it still was too expensive.

He has a net worth of like 16 million, he is fine right now. Children online don't understand what debt is.

He expects to make the money back sometime over the summer and then to market the show most likely to FX. He'll be fine.

They're lucky if they make that much off selling it

Just torrent it lol. I'll give you a quick overview of the series.

Great start

HORRIBLE, just Jackie from Roseanne doing this boring monologue about infidelity. A waste of hard drive space.

Actually pretty damn great

Don't want to say more about the show, I do commend Louie because it's a project that even HBO would have flat out rejected because it's just too damn dark.

I can't be bothered.

One of the episodes addresses the apathy generation and how they're ruining society

I've seen all of his political ideals before.

>His hope was for these four episodes to make their money back, funding the rest of the season. Well, as the saying goes, "the best laid plans can cripple you financially." Not enough people bit. To continue making the show, C.K. says, "I had to take out a line of credit."
>>
>>68148094
If you're familiar at all with the theater, you'd know this is pretty run of the mill. HBO would probably take it, but they wouldn't need to. FX will probably pick it up next fall.

FUCK OFF it was a masterpiece of acting

>>68148317

I can't imagine any network wanting to pick a show like H&P up. It's good but it's just too bleak and basically inaccessible. Nobody I know liked it at all.

Agreed. Gave me feels and even a slight chub. She was great. He can write dialogue really well.

Has anyone watched Tomorrow Night? I turned it off after half an hour and I love everything else he's done.

He probably gave them full salary instead of small salary plus stake in the project profit thinking he'd make bank on the series.

>Half a million per episode
What the actual fuck? if he put this kind of money into the show through his own company then why the fuck didn't he do a better job promoting it? At least do some web ads and maybe pay IMDB to put it on their front page.
Louie went for something close to 200k per episode, and FOX promoted the shit out of that show. Not to mention that it was on pay per view.
Seriously, Fuck that fucking retard. With this sort of irresponsibility no one will even think about giving him a dime to make more shows.
