Looking forward to the Louis CK. I found his tribute to Greg Giraldo very touching.
Louis CK himself is really fantastic. Totally authentic, and a guy that appears to be fully in charge of his craft, top to bottom. He had a moment, and it was a perfect little story, and it choked me up.
What was not fantastic was Maron's insistence on inserting his jealousy, resentment, and pettiness into every f'n interview. He's pulling the "I am copping to this, therefore it's okay to just go with it" card, and it's really revolting. I find it extra stooooopid in light of Louis CK's honesty, even his honesty about his 'failures' in his career.
I saw Louis CK last week. 2nd show at the Chicago Theater (holds, what, 3500 people--both were sold out), and his new stuff is really great. Mining similar territory, but really fluid, honest stuff. I just don't find this honest in Maron's comedy--he also seems to disdain or question comedians who work a lot, or rather have a work ethic. Absolutely delusional dude, though and through.
