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

Horace and Pete

Louis C.K.’s newest series takes place in an Irish bar, Horace and Pete’s, focusing on the people who work and drink there. C.K., as usual with his projects, writes and directed the series, as well as stars as Horace, the man who runs the bar a year after the death of his father. Other cast members are Steve Buscemi, Edie Falco, Alan Alda, and Jessica Lange, among others. Laurei Metcalf earned an Emmy nomination for Best Guest Actress.

Originally, Louis C.K. sold episodes of the show on his website, and at first, it was thought to be a financial failure. He sold the ten episodes made so far to Hulu for their streaming services. “I made it all back with people buying it,” C.K. told critic Emily Nussbaum. “It made back everything, and it’s going on a service, a thing.” (He was referring to Hulu.)
