Like all great comedy, Louis C.K.'s humor reveals stark, yet everyday, truths about the human condition. Here he is on what it's like to turn 40.

Ads for Louie, FX's new comedy starring comedian Louis C.K., have been popping up recently. Here, Louie gets caught in a pickle involving his two daughters and the subway doors.
