I liked Horace and Pete, and thought it got better and better with each ep, but wouldn't say it was worth losing Louie and I'm a Cop over it, so that kinda sucks. At least he's going on tour soon.

What happened was, I told FX I didnt wanna come back for a sixth season of Louie after I did season five, C.K. revealed to Stern. And I said, I dont want to put it off, I just want to say Im not doing it anymore for now. I might come back and do it again some day, but I dont wanna owe it to you ever. I just want a clean slate in my head.
Youll recall last year the comedian/director/writer/producer said he would be directing a full-length feature that he penned called Im A Cop. However, C.K. has changed his mind and said that project is no longer moving forward.
I had a movie set up that I wrote, that I was going to direct and star in. That was supposed to happen this last summer. Why didnt it happen, Stern asked? I had a movie ready to shoot and I had my TV show going so I said no to both. I said, Were not doing either. And I just threw everything away. It was a very scary and terrifying thing to do.
Perhaps worse, C.K. said he spent a half a million per episode of Horace And Pete and eventually spent $2 million of his own money to make those first four episodes. Unfortunately, they didnt earn enough on his website to bankroll the rest of the season, so the comedian had to take out a line of credit and put himself millions of more dollars in debt.
