Enjoy this deleted scene from the pilot of “Louie” and buy the first season of Louis CK’s FX sitcom on DVD

Louis CK just posted this deleted scene from the pilot of his FX sitcom, Louie. It features himself, Todd Barry, Nick DiPaolo and Rick Shapiro sitting in a booth in the Olive Tree Cafe above the Comedy Cellar, trying to get the attention of a waitress (played by Rachel Feinstein) and imagining the lives of the restaurant staff.

Todd Barry makes fun of Louis CK. Nick DiPaolo says something bigoted. Rick Shapiro goes off the rails. So. You know. About what you’d expect out. Roll the clip!

This scene and everything else from season one is out on DVD now.

The second season of Louie starts on FX this Thursday at 10:30 p.m. Eastern/Pacific. You can catch up with a few episodes on the FX site now if you need to.

  1. That’s fantastic. Rick Shapiro is a mad genius.
    Even better? Throughout the first segment in the restaurant, there’s a guy from way far away yelling “LOUIE!” over and over on the right audio channel. I freaking love that kind of detail. Pumped for the second season.
