C.K. was born in New York City, to a father descended from Jewish Hungarians and Catholic Mexicans, and a mother with Irish Catholic ancestors. After four years in Mexico, he grew up in Massachusetts, in Framingham and, mostly, Newton. His family pronounces their surname Szekely roughly as "SAY-kay", and in his grade-school years he resorted to "C.K." as an easy way to get his name pronounced almost correctly as "SEE-kay".
His credits as a writer include Saturday Night Live, Late Show with David Letterman, Late Night with Conan O'Brien, The Dana Carvey Show and the Chris Rock Show. He wrote and directed the movie, Pootie Tang, based on a sketch from the latter. His work for the Chris Rock Show was nominated for an Emmy Award three times, including winning "Best Writing in a Variety or Comedy Series" in 1999.
As a voice actor he portrayed Brendon's estranged father, Andrew Small, in Home Movies, and appeared numerous times on Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist.
He has performed his stand-up frequently on shows like Late Night with Conan O'Brien and the Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Most recently his subject matter reflected his frustrations and anxieties from raising his four-year-old daughter. He was ranked #98 on Comedy Central's list of the 100 Greatest Stand-ups of All Time.
In the spring of 2005, C.K. created, with executive producer Mike Royce, a pilot for a sitcom entitled Lucky Louie on HBO. In August, C.K. performed a half-hour HBO special as part of the stand-up series One Night Stand. In September 2005, he began production on twelve episodes, as the rest of the first season of thirteen episodes started airing in June 2006. HBO canceled the series in September 2006, despite rating on par with the network showcase series "The Wire". The show was filmed in front of a live studio audience; it was HBO's first series in that format, and the movie lot being used for taping the first season is the same one where Desi Arnaz made the multi-camera live-audience approach a hallmark of the I Love Lucy show. Lucky Louie is described as a bluntly realistic portrayal of family life; some summarize it as "Everybody Loves Raymond with swearing." Also C.K. vehemently hates laugh tracks and wanted his show to be like a play. (Christopher Titus made a similar but less graphic sitcom based on his life)

The lyrics to Louis C.K.'s song “Intro” are an emotional recounting of the artist's experiences with feeling rejected and disrespected throughout his life. The artist reflects on feeling belittled and unloved as a child, as well as his experiences with institutionalization and abuse.
The opening verses describe a moment when the artist felt singled out and cared for by someone who showed him special attention at the young age of 7. However, he now wonders if this was actually out of genuine concern or if he was being used, which taps into his fears of not being loved.
As the song continues, the artist reveals that he spent much of his life in an institution where he was sexually assaulted, bullied, threatened, and physically assaulted. He felt completely dehumanized and lost, like an animal in a zoo. These experiences left him feeling rejected and marginalized, particularly since he was also a person of color.
Overall, the song speaks to the artist's deep sense of neglect and isolation, particularly within a society that seems to prize certain types of people over others.
Line by Line Meaning
Ik werd veracht, dacht ik
I felt rejected by others and thought it was true
Want jij koos mij
You seemed to pick me out and pay attention to me
Je vond me verdacht speciaal op mijn 7, jaar
You found me suspiciously talented at seven years old
Want ik dacht dat je het deed omdat je om gaf, daar
I thought you were doing it because you cared about me
Je wou me helpen zei je
You said you wanted to help me
Want iedereen doet het
Because everyone else does it
Dus moet het
So it must be true
Het mooie is ik weet je gezicht niet meer
The funny thing is that I don't remember your face anymore
Maar elker keer weer, zie ik je terug
But every time, I see you again
Mss verachte ik jou en verzachte dit de drang naar liefde die
Maybe I projected my own feelings of rejection onto you and it eased my desire for love
Ik miste van mijn moeder die weg werd getrokken op mijn vier
Which I lacked from my mother who was taken away when I was four
En werd ik net een dier
And I became like an animal
Ingeboxt in een menselijk zoo
Trapped in a human zoo
Hoezoo
Why is that?
Zou je denken?
You might think so?
Jaa ik werd vaak veracht dacht ik
Yes, I often felt rejected
Niet alleen door de gezichtsloze jongen maar ook door de rechter
Not just by the unnamed boy, but also by the judge
Wacht ik
Hold on
Leg het even voor je uit khaal alles uit mijn kluis
Let me explain and reveal everything to you
Ik was mijn hele leven lang niet thuis
I never felt at home my whole life
Maar in een instelling!
But in an institution!
Kwerd daar verkracht, misbruikt, gepest en gebruikd
I was raped, abused, bullied, and used there
Bedrijgd en geslagen, kmoogt mij enkel verlagen, En op school hoorde ik nergens
Threatened and beaten down, I could only lower myself, and I didn't fit in at school
Want ik was een neger
Because I was black
Je moest het eens mee maken elke blik
You had to experience every glance
Ja ik werdt veracht dacht ik
Yes, I felt rejected
