Nearly five years after admitting to sexual misconduct, the comedian won best comedy album at the 2022 Grammys.
CK Credits to the album Louis C.K. Fellow nominees Nate Bargatze (The Greatest Average American), Lewis Black (Thanks for Risking Your Life), Lavelle Crawford (The Comedy Vaccine), Chelsea Handler (Evolution), and Kevin Hart (Zero F**ks Given ) Defeated. The category was presented by host LeVar Burton at the premiere ceremony prior to this year's main broadcast. CK did not exist.
This CK was his first comedy special since several women accused him of sexual misconduct, alleging that he masturbated in front of him - or asked to do so. At that time C.K. Issuing a statement said, "These stories are true. At that point, I told myself that what I did was right. Because I have never shown my cock to a woman without asking, which is also true."
His entry was followed by a flurry of severed relations. CK His management team was dropped by 3Arts Entertainment, his APA agency, and publicist Lewis K. The overall deal between FX Productions and his production company, Pig Newton, was cancelled, and plans for a wide release for his film, I Love You, Daddy, were scrapped. But by 2018, he returned to the stage with a handful of sets at the Comedy Cellar in New York City. In August 2021, C.K. Announced a nationwide comedy tour.
His controversy and subsequent "cancellation" by C.K. Some of the latest Grammy-winning specials center on. At one point, he asks: "How were your last few years? How was 2018 and 2019 for you guys? Anyone else having global amounts of trouble?" Adding, "I learned a lot. I learned how to eat alone in a restaurant, with people giving me the finger from across the room."
Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason Jr. Like defended the right of the organization to nominate people. And so did the tainted Marilyn Manson, who was identified with several collaborators on Kanye West's album Donda. "We will not look back at people's histories, we will not look at their criminal records, we will not look at anything other than legality within our rules, whether this recording is eligible for this job by date and other criteria," He told The Wrap last November. "If so, they can submit for consideration."
Mason then suggested that sanctions could be placed, however, on which honorees are invited to attend the Grammys. "What we will control is our stages, our shows, our events, our red carpets," he said. "We'll take a look at anyone who is asking to be a part of it, asking to be present, and we'll make our decisions at that point."
