\"louie-season-4-review_article_story_large\"<\/a>A little news in my inbox from the funniest man in America :<\/p>\n

Hello friend guy lady or other,<\/p>\n

Some of you are aware that, last Saturday, I launched a new series on my site louisck.net<\/a>\u00a0called \u201cHorace and Pete\u201d.<\/a> I\u2019m writing now to tell you some stuff about it\u2026.<\/p>\n

Horace and Pete is a new show that I am producing, directing, writing, distributing and financing on my own. \u00a0I have an amazing cast: Steve Buscemi, Edie Falco, Alan Alda, Jessica Lange, Aidy Bryant, Steven Wright, Kurt Metzger and other guest stars. \u00a0Also Paul Simon wrote and performed the theme song which is beautiful.<\/p>\n

The response to episode one has been great so far and there are more coming. \u00a0We are making them now and having a lot of fun doing it.<\/p>\n

Part of the idea behind launching it on the site was to create a show in a new way and to provide it to you directly and immediately, without the usual promotion, banner ads, billboards and clips that tell you what the show feels and looks like before you get to see it for yourself. \u00a0As a writer, there\u2019s always a weird feeing that as you unfold the story and reveal the characters and the tone, you always know that the audience will never get the benefit of seeing it the way you wrote it because they always know so much before they watch it. \u00a0And as a TV watcher I\u2019m always delighted when I can see a thing without knowing anything about it because of the promotion. So making this show and just posting it out of the blue gave me the rare opportunity to give you that experience of discovery.<\/p>\n

Also because we are shooting this show in a multi-camera format with an emphasis on a live feeling, we are able to post it very soon after each episode is shot. \u00a0So I\u2019m making this show as you\u2019re watching it.<\/p>\n

Okay so let\u2019s talk for a minute about the five dollars of it all. \u00a0If you\u2019re on this email list then you\u2019re probably aware that I always make an effort to make the work I do on my own as cheap as possible and as painless as possible to get. \u00a0That\u2019s why my specials are five dollars and that\u2019s why I sold tickets to my last big tour here on the site, with our own ticketing service at a flat price with no ticket charges and we have worked hard to keep my tickets out of the hands of scalpers.<\/p>\n

So why the dirty fuckballs did I charge you five dollars for Horace and Pete, where most TV shows you buy online are 3 dollars or less? \u00a0Well, the dirty unmovable fact is that this show is fucking expensive.<\/p>\n

The standup specials are much more containable. \u00a0It\u2019s one guy on a stage in a theater and in most cases, the cost of the tickets that the live audience paid, was enough to finance the filming.<\/p>\n

But Horace and Pete is a full on TV production with four broadcast cameras, two beautiful sets and a state of the art control room and a very talented and skilled crew and a hall-of-fame cast. \u00a0Every second the cameras are rolling, money is shooting out of my asshole like your mother\u2019s worst diarrhea. \u00a0(Yes there are less upsetting metaphors I could be using but I just think that one is the sharpest and most concise). \u00a0Basically this is a hand-made, one guy paid for it version of a thing that is usually made by a giant corporation.<\/p>\n

Now, I\u2019m not complaining about this at all. \u00a0I\u2019m just telling you the facts. \u00a0I charged five dollars because I need to recoup some of the cost in order for us to stay in production.<\/p>\n

Also, it\u2019s interesting. \u00a0The value of any set amount of money is mercurial (I\u2019m showing off because i just learned that word. \u00a0It means it changes and shifts a lot). \u00a0Some people say \u201cFive dollars is a cup of coffee\u201d. \u00a0Some people say \u201cHey! Five dollars?? \u00a0What the fuck!\u201d \u00a0Some people say \u201cWhat are you guys talking about?\u201d \u00a0Some people say \u201cNothing. don\u2019t enter a conversation in the middle\u201d.<\/p>\n

Anyway, I\u2019m leaving the first episode at 5 dollars. \u00a0I’m lowering the next episode to 2 dollars and the rest will be 3 dollars after that. \u00a0I hope you feel that\u2019s fair. \u00a0If you don\u2019t, please tell everyone in the world.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, we\u2019re going to keep making Horace and Pete. \u00a0We\u2019re going to keep telling you the story.<\/p>\n

I sincerely hope that you enjoy it. \u00a0I\u2019ll write you again later and tell you more about it. \u00a0It\u2019s fun to talk about. \u00a0But for now I want to shut up and not ruin the experience of you just watching the show.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the link for the website<\/a>. \u00a0Enjoy episode 2 of Horace and Pete. \u00a0We\u2019re shooting it now. \u00a0You\u2019ll get it on Saturday<\/span><\/span> morning.<\/p>\n

This person,<\/p>\n
