Five years ago, Louis C.K. posted some pretty harsh things to Sarah Palin on Twitter. And now, it looks like the comedian and the politician will be besties. For the first-time ever, Louis has said sorry for one of his jokes.
Those Tweets won’t be repeated here, but you can click this link to see Louis C.K.’s vulgar 5-year-old rant about Palin (warning: content may not be appropriate for all readers) that he is now sorry he ever posted. The jokes were evidently the result of alcohol consumption and a misunderstanding of how Twitter worked, he explained.
The apology took place backstage at the Saturday Night Live 40th Anniversary Special, the Hollywood Reporter explained. Both politician and comedian attended and crossed paths when her nephew, an aspiring comedian and Louis C.K. admirer, introduced the unlikely pair, People added. The comedian described the meeting in an interview with Howard Stern.
“Something came over me emotionally, and I said ‘well, I owe you an apology,’ I’ve never in a million years apologized for anything I’ve said. [expletive] anyone else who is offended. I don’t give a [expletive].”
Palin – who has been the butt of many a comedian’s joke over the years – told People that Louis had to remind her what he was saying sorry for – and it turns out, she’d never read or heard about the nasty tweets. Nonetheless, Louis gave her a “nice, humble” apology.
“Then I teased him that, ‘If you really did say nasty things about me, well, then you’re the only person to have ever said mean things about me, so for shame!'”
Even though Palin is now aware that C.K. went on a Twitter rant about her, that he said sorry for the errant behavior has evidently made her a bit of a fan. Her comedian nephew has sent along some of Louis’ work (censoring the naughty bits first, most likely) and now, the politician calls him a “very funny talent.”
“I wish I could have spoken with him long. And again, I sincerely appreciated his unexpected and character-revealing apology. I think he’s the only one in Hollywood who’s ever (said sorry).”
She even went so far as to invite Louis C.K. out fishing. And for his part, he is ready to take her up on the offer “in a heartbeat.” Proving that it’s always best to say you’re sorry and to forgive.
that creep is a pig like howard stern with 1/10 the intellect.
addendum: she should take him hunting, instead.
Or hunting with Dick Cheney.....
And.. being the Christian she is, Sarah forgave him. Kudos to Louis CK for apologizing. He’s a better man than David Letterman, Bill Maher and the rest of those turds who have spewed crappy words about her and her family.
He is a slug......very acidic, rude and unfunny to me.
Seems to me he understood very well how Twitter worked.
Anyway, it takes a lot of courage and maturity to admit one was wrong and apologize. Many people have a hard time doing either.
I’ve never heard of him. It’s funny how once people get on the TV they frequently become so self important and think that gives them the right to act like jerks, throwing insults at decent people who don’t necessarily share their same world view. In this case, Sarah’s world view is SO different from his that she’d never heard of him. I’d imagine he’s eaten a fairly large portion of humble pie if he truly has sobered up and is seeking forgiveness.
I avoid any show with him in it like a plague
Fishing Summit.
She's certainly no dummy.
Louis C.K & Howard Stern should get naked, form a little circle, and jerk themselves silly !!
Your praise of CK is ridiculous!
Obviously you don't know what he said about her later on Howard Stern.
It seems Howard Stern may have said those things, not CK.
Just saying.
All I said was “kudos for apologizing.” What are you finding so off-putting about that?
She should take him out fishing on a boat and land on an island (ahem) somewhere, bring some folks with a video camera and point off in the distance and say, “See that island over there - guess what that is?”
...
“Yep, that’s Russia. Guess where we are right now......”
And see if any lightbulbs come on.
It’s best not to tweet drunk. Some for posting on FR. Not saying I don’t do it.
