He has an exceptional knack for observing whatever is going on around him and an equally exceptional ability at using humor to communicate his observations to an audience.
I want to share something else he's said with you, Sal...
"Some things I THINK are very conservative, or very liberal. I think when someone falls into one category for everything, I'm very suspicious. It doesn't make sense to me that you'd have the same solution to every issue."
His background is really unusual. His grandfather was a Hungarian Jew who migrated to Mexico where he married a Catholic Mexican.
Louis C.K.'s given name was Louis Székely. Since the Hungarian pronunciation of the name Szkeley is similiar to C.K., that's what he started calling himself.
C.K. lived in Mexico City from the age of 1 to 7 and Spanish was his first language then. He spoke no English until his family moved to Boston.
