When Lucky Louis was coming out I was promoting it and when I showed up the 
other guest was Fonzi.  
Henry Winkler, and I mean for me it was just being there was like Barabara Walters I grew up and she was like 
Barabara Waa waa she was the center of so much going on you know Arafat... 
And then Fonzi 
I mean jesus christ 
I was in like you know fourth grade, third grade, when Fonzi was just the fucking king of the world 
to me so here he is you know weird not at all Fonzi 
'Hiii' 
Thats not Fonzi 
'Oh Hi Oh that's nice.'  Thats not how Fonzi talks 
and uh but he's a great guy 
and he knows Pamela Adlon who played my wife on Lucky Louis  
so he actually came over to my dressing room to say I loved Pamela Adlon I loved the show 
its dear its so dear thats what he said and that was great and then 
all of a sudden the producer comes in my room 
and says I need to talk to 
you they're about to go on the air you need to see this. 
Her hand was shaking on this remote. 
She turned on the tv. 
It was on live and theres Barbara Walters and 
shes saying 
'Our first topic is about one of our guests who has a show called Lucky Louis.  
This is the most offensive, racist, sexist, terrible show I've ever seen in my life.  
I can't believe this is on the air.  I hate it.'  
And they all start going to town on it.  
Theres pictures of me and stuff and I'm like what the fuck. 
And uh I gotta go out there.  
So she said so we still want to try to do your funny stories 
I'm like No I can't do the funny stories you're 
killing me out there. 
And I was shaking.  
I didn't know what to do I didn't know how to handle it.  
I think I called Chris Rock who is like an advisor to me. 
And I told him, this was backstage, 
and I said I don't know what to do these women 
just shit all over me. 
And uh... I'm about to go out there.  
And he said forget the women, you've got people watching at home.  
Just rise above it and talk to the audience. 
Fuck Barbara Walters 
she doesn't matter you're going to be on 
television right now. 
Nobody's even going to notice what show it is they're just going to see you.  
And that was a wake me up. 
I went out there and I thought I'm not talking to Barbara Walters, 
her audience is more important to me than she is. 
And I love those ladies and I know they'll like me.  
And also right before they brought me out they showed a clip from the show of me and my wife arguing about money 
in bed.  Which is to me what marriage is, arguing about money instead of fucking 
and the clip really worked and the audience laughed and I thought fuck her. 
I don't need her. 
And I went out there and she made a big deal. Barabara Walters came over and hugged me 
when I first walked out like 'Oh we're friends now' 
Like 'Oh the rift is over' 
and when she did that I realized this is pure bullshit. 
She doesnt dislike the show. 
She wasn't offended. 
She's trying to get on the map. 
She's trying to make it into something and also the republicunt 
I forget her name on the other side 
said something about 'This show has touched of a firestorm of controversy' 
we were on the air for like a week! It hadn't touched off anything.  
They were trying to... let's touch off this storm of controversy right now. 
So uh. I just realized its all false nobody was really mad at me.  
And then I just explained the show to the audience.  
I knew they wanted me to come out and go Fuck you.  
Thats what they wanted.  
Thats why they sandbagged me. 
Cause they hoped I would misbehave they thought I would come on and say 
Fuck you! You old bag.  And she'd go 'Oh my goodness!'  
And they would be all over the place but instead I came out and said 
listen thank you for bringing up these concerns 
I don't want anyone to think the show is here to offend anyone it's just honest.
so I went through the points of the show and why it was important.
