Good thing Louis C.K. doesn't have very far to commute to this weekend's big gig.

FX, Louis C.K. Delay 'Louie' Season 4 to Spring 2014

The Emmy-winning New Yorker is returning to TV -- his FX show, Louie, doesn't come back until 2014 -- to host Saturday Night Live in the Hurricane Sandy-soaked city, and his first promos offer a bit of cheer amid the floodwaters.

Well, that's a lie.
