Louis C.K. is on the Alice Morning Show with Sarah and No Name right now in San Francisco, and he stated that he was born in Mexico. Does anyone have any hard evidence that he was actually born in NYC? 206.15.76.98 15:45, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
- This [1]is an in-depth article about his unique background. It doesn't say where he was born but it says his family moved to Mexico after he was born. He did live there for much of his childhood so maybe that's what you heard. But I know a lot of Mexican-Americans who say they were born in Mexico when they were actually born here. It's some kind of pride thing that's too complex to get into. MrBlondNYC 01:57, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
Something interesting: the Székely are a Hungarian ethnic group in eastern Transylvania, and while Hungarians in Budapest do say SAY-kay, the Székely themselves (especially in villages) say it much more like SEE-kay. So here's a man whose ancestors (who probably said SEE-kay) probably moved to Hungary (where they said it SAY-kay) and now to make things easier, he's actually reverted to the original correct pronunciation. Of course this shouldn't be included in the article. But it is very interesting. Hubacelgrand 05:40, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dane Cook
Should this article mention Dane Cook stealing from him
- Out of respect for the fact that Louis CK doesn't want to participate in the feud, probably not. There's a bit on theft in Dane's article, though.Frogacuda 22:26, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

- I know this isn't a message board or anything, but I have to say that I really admire Louis CK for that. That is impressive that he could ignore someone stealing his jokes and making millions.--131.123.69.95 06:05, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

- It really it pretty admirable that he's decided to be the bigger man. He may not have the fame that Cook has yet, but I think it's pretty clear when you watch his comedy that he's down to earth and just wants to make people laugh from his ideas. The Dane Cook page has plenty of info about his alleged plagiarism as it is anyway. I just hope that Louis CK gets the fame he deserves one of these days, he really has a special sincere quality that you only find in some of the biggest stand-up acts.

- How about a "See also" link or something to the appropriate section of the Dane Cook page? That would allow readers to know about the contoversy if they wish to. Although at the moment the Dane Cook page is under a neutrality dispute, so it might not be a good idea at the moment.--Intergy 04:16, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Hungarian and Jewish categories
We get absolutely no idea of how distant either of these ancestries are. In fact, Louis C.K. seems to indicate on his FAQ page of lousck.com [2] that he isn't Jewish. So... 80.58.205.101 14:59, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] New sitcom
Louis has a new sitcom on the way with former co-star Pamela Adlon. This should be mentioned in the article.
