TV Junkie: 'Louie" Premieres - Don't Miss It; 'Food Party' Season Finale Is Fun & Bizarre
"Louis" premieres on FX at 11pm tonight - it's the must-watch show of the evening.
The show follows C.K. as a newly-single New York-based stand-up comedian with two daughters - and it sounds suspiciously similar to C.K.'s real life which is what his entire (hilarious) stand-up act is about.FX is putting the show on at 11pm which will probably mean even more risque material which C.K. is a master at delivering - he relates some of the real-life thoughts that go through just about anybody's head, thoughts that most of us try to repress but that C.K. revels in relating to us. This is going to be a great show - we're so glad C.K. has found a home.

We interviewed Thu Tran, creator and host of IFC's "Food Party" at the NYC premiere event back in April and last week she sent us a very kind note about our interview and reminded us that the season finale of "Food Party" is tonight at 10pm - see her note and the piece of the "Food Party" set that she sent to us in the video at the end of this post. We've seen the finale(s) tonight - one is a blooper reel and the other is Thu battling an evil sister and step-mother and they're both extremely funny and brilliantly surreal.
