Louie Anderson, the veteran comedian, game show host and three-time Emmy winner, has died. He was 68.

The Baskets star died Friday morning in Las Vegas, where he had entered hospital this week for treatment of diffuse large B cell lymphoma, a form of cancer, his longtime publicist Glenn Schwartz told Deadline.

I met Louie at NAB Show in 2017. He was gracious with everyone trying to talk with him, even as he was late for a flight out of there.

At the time I knew nothing of his work other than the show on Fox when we were young. His biggest impact on me was a podcast he did with Pete Holmes where they basically just shot the shit for a few hours. He got really vulnerable and started crying at one point. I don't even remember what the subject was but I remember it having an impact on me. I'm going to go dust off that podcast.
