More from the Hollywood Reporter:
The New York premiere of Louis C.K.’s upcoming film, I Love You, Daddy, has been canceled at the Paris Theatre on Friday. Reps for the premiere cited “unexpected circumstances.”
A source tells The Hollywood Reporter that a New York Times story on the comedian is about to break, and the premiere was canceled in case it is damaging. Additionally, Louis C.K.’s planned Friday appearance on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert was also canceled, with William H. Macy taking his place on the CBS show.
Louis C.K. is no small fish.
