After spending 15 years doing essentially the same hour of stand-up comedy, Louis C.K. started to throw it all out and start over. Not just once, but he did this on every year.

Burgeoning comedy legend Louis CK speaks about George Carlin and the momentous inspiration the late comedic icon had on his career. Taken from a tribute to George Carlin at the New York Public Library hosted by Whoopi Goldberg in March 2010, Louis CK becomes emotional describing the specific events and methods of building new material that gave his comedy new direction and fueled his success.
