Louis C.K. took things too far on Saturday Night Live . The edgy comedian was the host for this week’s episode. Louis managed to joke about as many insensitive issues as possible such as racism, the war in the Middle East, and childhood molestation .
Louis C.K. opened up SNL with a monologue about how growing up in the 1970s means he suffers from “ mild racism .”
“I was born in 1967, so I grew up in the ’70s, so, I’m not racist. However I do have mild racism.”
C.K. explains that he’s aware of people of color when he talks to them. He also admitted that he sighs when his doctor happens to be Chinese or Indian. C.K. also said that he gets nervous around a young black man “unless he has a big smile on his face.”
The edgy comedian didn’t stop there on the racism train. He went on to joke about how his daughters fight like Palestine and Israel.
Louis didn’t stop there though. He compared how much child molesters enjoy raping children as much as he enjoys eating a candy bar because why else would they risk it?
“It’s so crazy because when you consider the risk in being a child molester, speaking not of even the damage you’re doing, but the risk. There is no worse life available to a human than being a caught child molester. And yet they still do it. Which you could only really surmise, that it must be really good.”
The audience groaned more than they laughed. Some of them even gasped in horror over Louis C.K.’s controversial monologue. He tried to continue his joke when he should have ended it right there.
“From their point of view! Not ours. But from their point of view it must be amazing for them to risk so much.”
This comes on the news of Louis C.K.’s sexual harassment allegations. An anonymous tipster emailed Gawker about several sexual misconduct allegations that were made against the shock comedian. The email revealed that the tipster sent an email to Louis C.K. asking him to stop exposing himself to female fans and comedians.
Commentors on the news site have noted that friends in the industry say that Louis does this often. He does it at inappropriate places like restaurants, bars, and other public places. Louis even pleasures himself in front of women in private. The most recent incident happened at the Aspen Comedy Festival.
“At the Aspen Comedy Festival a few years ago, he invited a female comedy duo back to his hotel room. The two ladies gladly joined him, and offered him some weed. He turned it down, but asked if it would be OK if he took his d*ck out.”
“Thinking he was joking (that’s exactly the kind of thing this guy would say), the women gave a facetious thumbs up. He wasn’t joking. When he actually started jerking off in front of them, the ladies decided that wasn’t their bag and made for the exit. But the comedian stood in front of the door, blocking their way with his body, until he was done.”
Louis responded to the sexual harassment allegations by talking about it over the phone, but it didn’t go well. The tipster wasn’t happy with how the conversation went and decided to forward the information to Gawker .
The whispers and allegations of Louis C.K. exposing himself to females is well-known in the comedy world, but also have been swept under the rug. There have been allegations of sexual misconduct as far back as 2012 . Gawker even ran a blind item entitled: “Which Beloved Comedian Likes to Force Female Comics to Watch Him J**k Off ? ”
However, there hasn’t been any way of verifying the tipster’s claims. The women haven’t come forward and the female comedians who were involved want nothing to do with the story. There is no substantial information, but that doesn’t mean the sexual misconduct allegations aren’t true. A large number of women have recently come forward to accuse Bill Cosby of sexual misconduct over the span of his career.
Louis C.K.’s rep has not responded about to the sexual misconduct allegations. As for his controversial jokes on Saturday Night Live , he has a long-standing relationship with the show, so it’s likely that he’ll be invited back to host the show.
