His Lincoln skit on the November 3, 2012 episode of Saturday Night Live is one of the hottest online videos of this SNL season, and now fans will get to see more of Louis CK on TV when he returns to HBO for another stand-up special.

The hour-long special will be taped at one of his 16-city tour stops and will be directed by Louis CK. He’ll also executive produce the show along with Dave Becky and Blair Breard.

HBO President of Programming Michael Lombardo announced Louis CK’s second hour-long special, stating: “I’m delighted to welcome the gifted Louis CK back to HBO. This comic genius remains one of the freshest voices on the scene, and HBO is proud to provide an uncensored forum for his provocative humor.”

Louis CK earned two Emmys this year for Writing for a Comedy Series (FX’s Louie) and Writing for a Variety Special (Louis CK Live at the Beacon Theatre).

His first HBO hour-long special aired in 2007, and he won an Emmy as part of HBO’s The Chris Rock Show‘s writing team.
