ENCORE of Louis C.K.

Michael Barbaro sits down face to face with Louis CK at the New York Times offices to talk to him about is confessional style of comedy and whether a joke from his 2010 special 'Word: Live at Carnegie Hall' was a confession in and of itself.

In January of 2015 a fan 3 years earlier one anonymous fan sent a message to Louie the only way he could think, an email to the address was LouisCK@LouisCK.com. Louis responded and the two spoke on the telephone about his rumored allegations. But how does one go about the nearly impossible task of getting the most famous comedian in the world on the phone? For the fan and for Michael Barbaro...it really is not that hard at all.

An exclusive interview with Louis C.K. by Michael Barbaro.

November 9th was the New York premier of a film written, directed and starring Louis C.K. 'I Love You, Daddy". A New York Times film critic called it "one of the two best films at the Toronto Film Festival" but another story by the New York Times was to be released that day. But would anything be able to stop Michael Barbaro from seeing the film?

November 9th 2017 comedian Louis C.K. was preparing for the premier of his film I Love You, Daddy at the Paris Theater in New York City. At approximately 3:17pm the New York Times published a story detailing allegations from 5 women of sexual misconduct, the premier was cancelled, C.K. released a statement and talked to no one for 9 months...except for me...Michael Barbaro, host of The Daily a NYT's podcast. These are the conversations I have had with C.K. over the past year. Louis is making his comeback but is the world ready for his Encore?
