Louis C.K. addressed his #MeToo accusations in his first stand-up special released since his career imploded following a 2017 New York Times investigation detailing sexual harassment complaints toward the comedian.

The surprise special, titled "Sincerely Louis C.K.," released Saturday and is available only for purchase and download from the comedian's website for $7.99.

Greeted by the Washington, D.C., audience with a standing ovation, C.K. asked viewers about how their "last couple of years" have been.

"How was 2018 and 2019 for you guys?" he asked. "Anybody else get into global amounts of trouble? (Expletive) that was crazy. Man, I was in a lot of trouble. Wait 'till they see those pictures of me in blackface. That's gonna make it a lot worse, because there's a lot of those. There's thousands of pictures of me in blackface. I can't stop doing it. I like it. I like how it feels."

Still going strong, despite many efforts to cancel him.
