All About Louis C.K.’s Many Hilarious TV Shows

Louis C.K. Stakes His Claim in the Comedy World

Louis C.K. arrived in New York looking to do stand-up comedy and found that he had just missed the boom. Clubs in Manhattan were going out of business and it was hard to find work. C.K. found himself playing to clubs with a handful of people and practiced in empty spaces.

Louis C.K. auditioned and didn’t make the cut for Saturday Night Live. In his 20s, C.K. was broke and struggling, his dreams out of reach. He also experienced a serious motorcycle accident and struggled with money. But slowly, things began to turn around. In 1993, he worked as a writer on Late Night with Conan O’Brien, as a co-writer of Conan’s very first sketch.
