The conversation revolved around comedian Louis C.K., who was blacklisted in 2017 after being accused of masturbating in front of female comics. C.K. eventually admitted to it, and his professional life was immediately erased. A film only days away from being released lost its distributor. Additionally, C.K. lost his representation, a number of TV shows, and concert appearances.
“I mean, don’t get me started on . Isn’t it time everyone just went: ‘OK, It wasn’t a cool thing to do, but it’s been long enough and welcome back,’” Maher. “Enough! I mean, for Christ’s sake, it’s not the end of the world. People have done so much worse things and gotten less. There’s no rhyme or reason to the #MeToo-type punishments.”
Burr continued: “ started off with something everyone could agree on, and then quickly it just spun out of control.” Burr explained that “cancel culture got to the point of where it was, ‘I don’t like some of the topics in your stand-up act,’ right? That’s when it got weird.”Maher disagreed: “That’s so not true. Either one of us could get canceled in the next two minutes.”
Louis C.K. has not been able to overcome being defined by his sick behavior. Maher is correct that people have done far worse, but—fair or not—that behavior is C.K.’s whole identity now, and until that changes it’s hard to see him returning to the mainstream.
