Comedian, actor, host of Family Feud, and star of Life with Louie and Baskets has died from NH lymphoma. He was 68. He won two Emmys for Life with Louie and one for his gender-bending role as Zach Galifianakis's mother on Baskets.

He was also a celebrity game show fixture on the syndicated Funny You Should Ask. He himself was the first person to host the revived Family Feud in 1999, succeeding Richard Dawson (himself returning to host after Ray Combs). He was followed by Richard Karn, John O'Hurley, and Steve Harvey. Anderson also appeared on Byron Allen's syndicated Comics Unleashed. (I stand corrected. He never appeared on the show.)

If I were Richard Karn, I’d be careful. The previous 3 hosts are now expired.  :-\\

Very sad :(

Wow. Two famous guys kick the bucket within 24 hours. First Meat Loaf, now Louie Anderson. :\'(

Yeah, I just realised that when I heard the news about Louie. Of course Ray was first to go, by taking his own life.

RIP Louie Anderson, you'll be missed.  :\'(

I think he was okay as the Family Feud emcee from 1999-2002; I preferred other hosts instead.

mine was Richard Dawson.

mine was Richard Dawson.

Yeah, he was the best, out of all six. O0

This June will mark ten years since he passed on.

I envision a committee of three physicians tending to Louie at the hospital, conferring on his condition.

”Survey SAID !  He’s dead !”

Yeah I know I sometimes have a sick sense of humor.
