Lastly, it is always a good idea to edit. Many fans have speculated about Louie's real-life ex-wife, since his fictional ex-wife in the television show is a black woman. The speculation is fair, since the divorced comedian admittedly mines his life experiences for much of his comedic material. Yet, perhaps the author of this article could have edited better before posting.
"Louie's real-life ex-wife," the post asks, "is he black?"
