Hit comedy series Louie returns to Fox in the UK this Thursday.

They’re starting with airing episodes 10, 11 and 12 of series 3 as a single feature-length episode which sees Louie take over the hosting of the Late Show when David Letterman retires (remember this is fiction guys!).

It starts off with Louie appearing on The Tonight Show with a killer standup routine, which paves the way for him being lined up to replace Letterman on CBS’s Late Show.

Tune in to Fox this Thursday at 10pm – Sky channel 124.
