Louis C.K. surprised fans Friday by making a new album, "WORD: Live at Carnegie Hall" available for download on his site, and he took to Reddit Monday afternoon to help promote it with an AMA (ask me anything).
The plan repeats C.K.'s strategy in releasing "Live at the Beacon Theater" straight to fans online back in December. The album made over $1 million and only cost $5 to download, and the Reddit AMA served as both free press and a loving nod to the Internet fandoms that help support his career. It's even inspired comedians Jim Gaffigan and Aziz Ansari to follow suit with their own albums.
So we scoured the thread and found 15 of our favorite C.K. responses to fans. Check them out below.
