Louis CK's career took a major hit when he was accused of sexual misconduct last year, and now his reputation as a comedian is starting to get less respect from his fellow comics. Read on for details.

A New York City comedian on Wednesday posted a video of his standup set at the Comedy Cellar earlier this month that shows him pulling no punches against Louis C.K.‘s return to the stage less than a year after admitting to allegations of sexual misconduct.
Ted Alexandro, 49, shared to Twitter the comedy routine where he ripped C.K. for his surprise performance at the venue nearly a week earlier.
“What does a guy have to get, convicted of sexual assault, to get an extended ovation?” Alexandro asked as he took the stage to faint applause, referencing the reported standing ovation C.K. received. “What do I have to do? Do I have to take my d–k out?”
The video, which lasted nearly seven minutes, shows Alexandro continuing to go after C.K.’s comeback set.
“Why can’t we just let Louie go back to writing jokes about how men are the greatest threat to the safety of women? But he doesn’t just write jokes — he walks the walk! And I think that is to be commended. He’s a performance artist,” Alexandro joked.
In November 2017, C.K. admitted to allegations by comedians Dana Min Goodman, Abby Schachner, Julia Wolov and Rebecca Corry that the comedian either pleasured himself in front of them, asked to do it or did so over the phone. A fifth woman detailed her allegations against C.K. to the New York Times but was not identified.
