+1 for Louie's answer. So nice to see him stand up to that brand of weirdly confrontational journalism. What should he be doing different exactly? Selling tickets for other performer's shows on his site? Pull a Pearl Jam? Why exactly is he obligated to do anything?

I don't think that was what that question was about. I saw it more as pulling up a common counterargument to Louis CK's success (people say all the time that he's a "special case" and his success doesn't mean anything). It was more like playing the devil's advocate to see what Louis would say about it.
