Louis C.K. Comes Under Fire After Joking About Mild Racism and Pedophile on 'SNL'
TV

The 'Louie' star admits to being 'mildly racist' and jokes about child molesters during his monologue on 'Saturday Night Live'.

AceShowbiz - Louis C.K. caused uproar over his controversial monologue on "Saturday Night Live". The "Louie" star talked about being a child of the 1970s where racism and pedophile were not a big deal. He cracked jokes about the two topics, compared his fighting daughters to Israel and Palestine, and called them "selfish little b*tches."

"Child molesters are very tenacious people," he said. "They love molesting childs. It's crazy. It's like their favorite thing! It's so crazy, because when you consider the risk in being a child molester, speaking not only of the damage to the child you're doing, the risk, there is no worse life available to a human than being a caught child molester."

"And yet they still do it! Which from you can only really surmise that it must be really good," he continued. As many audience members sounded shocked, he quickly added, "From their point of view! Not ours! From their point of view, it must be amazing for them to risk so much." He then quipped, "This is my last show probably."

"I get it comedy is meant to be edgy. I just don't find jokes about child molestation funny. #SNL40FINALE #LouisCK," one Twitter user blasted the funnyman. Another commented, "So all of the Louis CK fans can hate me all they want but as a fellow child of the 70's it's hard to find humor in his molester jokes." A different Twitter user wrote, "I found #louisck #snl funny and perpetrator-focused... But then I'm not someone who has ever been abused and I'd rather they had their say."

There were also some who linked C.K.'s monologue to a recent Gawker story about sexual assault allegations made against the comedian. One commented, "Louis CK should have probably scrapped the child molester SNL monologue after the Gawker piece came out." Another said, "Theory: Louis CK told 'edgy' child molester jokes on SNL to manufacture controversy that would distract from Gawker story."
