Louis C.K. appeared on Monday’s “Daily Show” and cleared up a few matters about his role in the whole Daniel Tosh rape-joke controversy.
A tweet that the “Louie” star sent to Tosh — one in which he said that the Comedy Central show “Tosh.0” “makes him laugh” — was written while Louis C.K. was on vacation, not reading the Internet and unaware of the controversy over comments Tosh recently made at the Laugh Factory, he said. The tweet was cited in the blogosphere as evidence that the former boyfriend of Leslie Knope was defending Tosh’s joke.
“I’ve been called a rape apologist because I said hi to a guy,” the comedian told Jon Stewart.
Then he continued, and explained why feminists and comedians are natural enemies. Hoo boy.
“Stereotypically speaking, feminists can’t take a joke,” he said, eliciting groans from “The Daily Show” studio audience, which then prompted Louis C.K. to say, “See?”
“And on the other side, comedians can’t take criticism,” he added
There’s more. And it gets better. Just watch.

but i don't watch his show so.
he laughed and nodded and laughed and tee-hee'd and agreed an awful lot. :(
I don't think people really grasp the situation Jon's in; Tosh.0 is his lead in (as are, frequently, Comedy Central Stand Up specials) and there's a great deal of overlap between their audiences, so he's not going to express an opinion one way or the other until that douchebag-in-front-of-a-green-screen is handed the pink slip he deserves, at which point (as was the case with Mind of Mencia and Krog Mandoon) the proverbial floodgates will open.
