If you haven't seen the show, I recommend watching 'Baskets' He did some good work on it.

Life With Louie was appointment TV in my afternoons off of School during study leave.

[Alyce: Old Media Enthusiast]

Yeah, this one stings for me more than Meat Loaf. Louie was a great person and a funny guy.

[Beets by Schrute]

Man, Sidney, Bob Saget, Meat Loaf, and now Louie!

Already, f*** 2022

Well I knew it was probably coming when I heard he was being treated for cancer. Eerily it's like Dustin Diamond around this time last year...you just heard about his diagnosis and then he's gone.

With the pain in the ass the other big C is, and believe me, it is (even though I am not against doing the rules and things we need to do)...like I said, it's depressing when we're reminded cancer is not done, not by a longshot. We get it, you're still the real public health enemy no. 1!

Loved Coming To America of course.

I can critique his version of Family Feud all I want, and it's all valid...but without him starting us off with the current version, we wouldn't have the syndie juggernaut we have now. And he did a lot of good things for the show too. He donated after 9/11, and he was the one who insisted the Fast Money prize be raised to $20,000.

Crap now I regret not going with my parents when they went to his Vegas comedy show. This was like nearly a decade ago.

This day has been rough. And yeah, yeah, years don't kill celebrities, there are no curses, etc. etc. There'll be people who are pessimistic who effect my mood in believing so, however. (and yes I am a bit hypocritical cause I was the one despondent and pining for Betty weeks after her passing...)

That's sad, everything I heard about him sounded like he was a sweet guy. RIP

[Lance Uppercut]

I always had a soft spot for Life with Louie

[TWERKIN' MAGGLE]

This sucks, RIP!

[BlackoutCreature]

I've actually been marathoning Life with Louie online over the last few weeks. Was kinda heartbroken when I looked it up and discovered that that wasn't even close to an accurate depiction of his childhood.

RIP Louie.

[Hit Girl]

RIP Louie

In my head canon, he recently retired as the Vice President of the McDowells Corporation.

[Deleted]

If there's any indicator that Life With Louie was a show that stuck with me as a child, it's how I always think of this scene.

[Toilet Paper Roll]

2022 has no chill… looking to be worse than 2016

[SHAKEMASTER TV9 is Don Knotts]

RIP

I'm glad he made a comeback in recent years with Baskets and got an Emmy for Best Supporting Actor.

Life with Louie was a great show. I remember the baseball episode where his dad was the coach but a terrible player and it was his mom who taught him and his friends to play.

I worked at the Mall of America years ago and every so often they have celebrities in the vestibule (where the Nitro debut was) signing autographs. Louie was there signing and I had like 5 minutes on break from work so I ran over and he was getting ready to leave, standing there by himself, and I just said real quick, "Hi, big fan of Life With Louie, just wanted to meet you, but I gotta get back to work," and he was super nice. Got back to work and instantly though, "Why didn't I take a picture with him???" Six months later he was back he was back sitting autographs again and I went back to meet him and actually got a picture with him the second time! Super nice guy in the brief meeting I had.

Nooo!! I do a Louie Anderson voice impression. I am gutted right now.
