It clearly looks as if he won’t get a second chance with you. He very likely won’t get a second chance with me either. I can’t get past what he did, and it will always cloud any future work he does in my opinion.
For a comedian, this is bad news. Often comedy is based upon social commentary and observation. To be successful at that and for me to enjoy it, the person delivering the material has to be credible in doing that.
Louis CK has lost that credibility and for me that significantly reduces the impact of whatever he can deliver in future.
I don’t think his career should be ruined forever, nor will I be critical of those who attend and enjoy any future shows he does.
But as a comedian I’d watch, in that respect, it’ll never happen again.
