Need proof that "cancel culture" isn't real? See Louis C.K., a man who went back on the stand-up comedy circuit less than a year after admitting in 2017 to pulling out his penis and masturbating in front of female comics. And last night, less than five years after those stories came to light, the Recording Academy awarded Louis C.K. a Grammy.

C.K.'s Sincerely Louis C.K. won Best Comedy Album in a category that included Nate Bargatze's The Greatest Average American, Lewis Black's Thanks for Risking Your Life, Lavell Crawford's The Comedy Vaccine, Chelsea Handler's Evolution, and Kevin Hart's Zero F---s Given.

The comedian didn't appear at the 2022 Grammys ceremony, which was held Sunday night at the MGM Grand Las Vegas. CBS also didn't televise his win.

C.K. jokes about the sexual misconduct on the album itself. In 2017, five women from the comedy world came forward in a New York Times exposé to detail their own personal horror stories with the comedian. The accounts had a theme: C.K. would routinely start masturbating in front of women without permission, or he would ask them to watch him masturbate. In a statement released at the time, C.K. said "these stories are true," but he maintained "I never showed a woman my dick without asking first."
