Late Night Takes on Louis C.K., Kind Of

Louis C.K. was supposed to appear on “The Late Show” on Thursday, after the New York premiere of his new movie, “I Love You, Daddy.” But both events were canceled after The New York Times reported that five women had accused Louis C.K. of engaging in sexual misconduct with them.

Stephen Colbert — who has known Louis C.K. for decades — took note of the news, but offered only a gentle jab. He had been more cutting moments earlier in a segment on Roy Moore, the Alabama Republican accused of making sexual advances toward teenage girls when he was in his early 30s. (A Moore supporter defended him with a biblical precedent, saying that Mary and Joseph were also far apart in age. “When reached for comment,” quipped Mr. Colbert, “Jesus said, ‘La la la la la, I don’t want to think about my parents having sex.’”)
