Proving that he truly is a glutton for punishment, Louis C.K. appeared on Conan last night and told a story about how he once hit on a then unknown Gwyneth Paltrow at a Christmas party for Late Night with Conan O'Brien. It did not go well.

So watch above an learn how we almost lost the hysterical Louis to a life of vegan cooking and daily workouts and fights with Vanity Fair.

Things worked out for the best we think.
