Nah, his whole act was based on what a nice guy he supposedly was. The suspension of disbelief is gone and his whole schtick is tainted. Chuck him over the boat.

Exactly, Louis CK being pervy doesn't really change anyone's opinion of him, whereas Bill Cosby's entire body of work has been ruined.

The art and the artist are inextricably linked in comedy, so it's entirely relevant what the artist has done.

It's always hard to see your idols fall. I guess you do have to have to separate the real person from the work sometimes. It took me a long time for me to accept the fact that Cosby was a louse and I can't watch his shows or listen to his comedy records which I loved as a kid, mostly because of the hypocrisy more than anything else.

Maybe history will judge him and others a little differently. I guess we'll see.

honestly if i like the art i couldn’t give a **** about the artist, but there’s definitely a weirdness to it with a comedian. it’s not like it’s a movie or a song, they get on stage and share their life with you. it will never change my appreciation for Louis CKs material, but i think it will always linger in the back of my mind when i watch his stuff.
