LOUIS C.K., the star and executive producer of HBO's bawdy sitcom "Lucky Louie," is still seething over the way Barbara Walters and "The View" treated him back on June 19. The comic was recently a guest on "Sam Sedar's Majority Report" on Air America Radio. C.K. recalled how "View" producers told him they loved his show and would be honored to have him on. But "I got there and they said, 'You're going out in two minutes and Barbara hates the show and she's about to say it on TV.' " Before he came out, Walters told viewers she thought "Lucky Louie" was vulgar and racist. They then had a heated but friendly on-air debate, with C.K. saying his show wasn't meant to be offensive. "When she said the show is racist, that was just ignorant, that was just stupid," C.K. told Sedar. "Because we confront racism, we bring up race, it exists on our show, so to her that's racist." Sedar replied, "Walters lives in a bubble . . . You got sandbagged on 'The View' - that's so sad and awesome."
