Louie Anderson

Louie Anderson was a friend. Here’s how it started.

Louie and I hit it off right away. There’s teasing, laughter, bonding, Christine Baskets, honest emotions, and more.

What you don’t know about Louie & me…

What you don't know about Louie & me is that we created a morning show together.

I didn't mention it because it was an experiment. We weren't sure what it would look like or when we'd launch it, but we taped a few episodes and segments to see how we felt.

This weekend, after feeling the many waves of emotion that come with losing someone special, I looked back at our morning show footage.

It reminded me of three things: (1) how much fun we had together (2) how very easily we fell into a relaxed, genuiine friendship and (3) how frustrating it was at times, because even as friends on the same wavelength, two people aren't always 100% in sync.

Now, looking back, I'm JOYFUL that I had the chance to do this with him. Louie was a bright light that made my life more radiant. I'm eternally grateful.

Here's a segment I think Louie would appreciate me sharing with you: https://youtu.be/DC2ZQMloRM8

Here’s what I wrote after our first talk.

Louie Anderson was one of my original list of DREAM GUESTS. Finally, a year after I announced to the world that I was dying to book him on Really Famous, we did it. All I can say is, “I ABSOLUTELY KNEW he’d be a dream.”
