Louie Anderson

Louie, Louie, oh, no,

Me gotta go.

I remember his cartoon show. It wasn't bad at all. I do not understand why he doesn't just come out , especially now. I have always enjoyed his comedy. But man, he reminds me of John Candy weight wise. Good for him for making a real effort to get it under control. I wish him luck. Seems like a nice guy

His greatest role was playing Zach Galifinakis’ mom on Baskets.

Zach was smart enough ad generous enough to realize how great Louie’s performance was and move out of the way and effectively let Louie be the star of the show.

It was an astounding performance.

He's on that god-awful game show with other has-been comedians. They pretend to laugh at others' scripted, inane jokes. It's really painful to watch.

I think by acknowledging the Mother Baskets character he's kind of stepping out of the closet... being ok being in a cross dressing role. I know he says it's based on his mother but it's a brave thing to do. I thought most of the industry already "knows" -- he seems like a nice person and he's trying to get healthier.

Yeah R4. Jon Lovitz is on that show. He is not a has-been. He was hardly an ever was.

He seems like a nice man. Sad that someone was able to blackmail him regarding consensual sex. I hope he can come out.

At this point, coming out would be a great career move for him. Surely anyone in his family who would care is dead?

I enjoyed his recurring role in the third season of "Search Party" as the washed-up defense attorney Bob Lunch. It was also great to see him pop up briefly in "Coming II America."

R8 took the words out my mouth...loved his recent appearances in Search Party and Coming 2 America.

Also, one of the best things about his portrayal of Christine Baskets (for which he won an Emmy) is that it’s just him in drag. He doesn’t go out of his way to do anything other than deliver his lines while dressed like a middle aged frau.

He was one of my favorite comedians. Genuinely and brilliantly funny. Then he got really depressing and morose. Still love him today though. Didn't Arsenio Hall out him defending himself about that Queer Nation protest in 1992?

He is still one of my favorite comedians. Yes, a big part of his standup revolved around his girth but he still managed to get in some great non-fat jokes. Louie was still doing cabaret appearances before covid. Love him. Here's an early show:

And he’s so good. Just like Candy.

Prince George looks like Louie Anderson, actually.

Where's the requisite "who's had him"?

Dem teefs!

How cute! I’d like to see a fat queen in the throne.

I would like to see him come out, and now that he is having something of a comeback maybe he will.

Is he a top or bottom?🧐

The poor man's John Candy.

He is brilliant as Christine Baskets. I forget he’s Louie Anderson. I can’t heap enough praise on him for that role.

He's a ginger right? So probably a firecrotch with a pale pink hole. Yum.

R13 my sister has been saying that for a couple of years and now I can’t unsee it.

Louie Anderson, bottom left (Prince George).

There is no way in hell that Louie hasn't been a DataLounger for at least 20 years! He's probably Muriel!

The Christine Baskets character is superb. Authentic, relatable, from the heart.

I find it hard to believe that Burt Reynolds was that into him.

Did you feel the same about the Wally Cox - Marlon Brando combo, r26?

If he was gay, someone on Datalounge would've told about hooking up with him

Many years ago, I saw him eating alone in a cafe on the gayest of the gay part of Santa Monica Boulevard. He was quiet but the staff obviously knew him as a somewhat regular customer.

Hmm, I thought he sort of thanked a partner in his Emmy speech.

Circus of Books?

When unrelated comments end up next to each other, entertainingly:

He is in the hospital with blood cancer. Oh Louie, get up! We love you! Seriously this is the most love I've ever seen DL give a gay man.

He’s trans.

His mom sounds like a huge whore.

Well, he's dead
