Louis CK? The Daily Show's probably calling him.

Well, he did do a lot of additional "grass roots" promotions. I have a friend that has followed his career and we were talking about Louis CK last night - he did years of crappy night/comedy clubs and the like. For this video he tweeted it, posted it on his website and even did an AMA over on reddit(which was almost 10000 posts). Reddit is a pretty big thing for a lot of people. Larry Correia, Brandon Sanderson, Neil Gaiman and Robin Hobb have all done some kind of activity on Reddit. I don't use Reddit so I'm not quite sure how it works.
