Louis C.K. has been dropped from HBO’s upcoming “Night of Too Many Stars” amid allegations of sexual misconduct.

In addition, his previous projects — including stand-up specials and the comedy series “Lucky Louie” — have been removed from the premium cable channel’s on-demand services.

“Louis C.K. will no longer be participating in the ‘Night of Too Many Stars: America Unites for Autism Programs,’ which will be presented live on HBO on November 18,” HBO said. “In addition, HBO is removing Louis C.K.’s past projects from its On Demand services.”

The comedian was accused of sexual misconduct by five women in a New York Times report published Thursday.

This follows accusations of sexual assault and misconduct against numerous Hollywood figures, including Harvey Weinstein, Kevin Spacey and James Toback.
