I know why his Mom stayed in the marriage, back in that generation they had a saying "You made your bed, now lie in it"🌻Right or wrong that generation just stuck with it and tried to make the best of a bad situation. That generation grew up with wars, rationing and The Great Depression so they'd seen worse. Louie was great.
“I started out mopping the floor just like you guys. But now... now I'm washing lettuce. Soon I'll be on fries; then the grill. In a year or two, I'll make assistant manager, and that's when the big bucks start rolling in!”
I met Louie on a plane trip from Minneapolis to Las Vegas in December 2008. He was doing comedy shows at a hotel there at the time. Sitting in the very first seat by himself. I talked to him for a few minutes and he was very nice, but didn't crack any jokes. I felt a kinship with him coming from the same kind of family, with Dad being a drinker and Mom the supportive one. Loved his comedy. Sad to see him go at a pretty early age. RIP Louie.
Louie sent me a personal postcard after his mon died because I sent him a sympathy card for her death. I worked at the Twin Cities Reader at the time and he was a fixture in the office when he was in town. The postcard was a photo of him and her together. Loved him so much!
It was,a sad day he passed. Right after Norm McDonald and Bob Saget. I loved the cartoon Life with Louie. I read both books about his parents. I can't imagine Louie not leaving his estate to his family.
When Dabney Coleman passed away recently, I re-visited his 1984 movie "Cloak and Dagger." I was shocked to see Louie in a very small role as a cab driver. One line.
Pre-pandemic, I did alot of audience work on Funny You Should Ask.. They'd shoot 4-5 episodes a day and inbetween episodes I was lucky enough to get to talk with him n a few other of the comedians on a few occasions and his loving energy and warm comforting voice were nothing less than gravitating and soothing...... The nicest guy n one of the handful of comedians that I will continue to truly miss.... 💕
I got to see Louie perform in Vegas back in 1992. He tore the house down! One story he told I still remember today; he was acting out the parts of a husband and wife when they first got to Vegas and how excited they were. Then he showed what they were like leaving Vegas with the wife pulling on her husband’s tie saying, “Come on Mr Lucky!” in his typical Louie voice. Absolutely hysterical! I also thought you would mention his cameo in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.
My sister's boss Todd was friends with Louie from the time they were small kids. When Louie created Life with Louie, he created a character named Toddler who represented my sisters boss Todd. Louie faxed the paperwork that Todd had to sign for the show. Don't know what that part was about but just thought I'd mention this extra little tidbit.
Great video. Thanks Jordan , Katie , JUH 👍💕😇 I hope the sisters win the Estate .Those people are disgusting to alter the will and steal his estate. So Greedy. To fill in for Carson , means you’ve “made it” . How nasty of Carson to black list people because of Joan’s Show . Jeez !!! RIP 😇louie Anderson, we love and we remember you .💕🎭🤣🎥📺😍
J, K &Jah, you’ve made so many great MN videos, but this tribute was my favorite! Louie was such a funny & kindhearted soul! I didn’t know about his estate & I hope justice is served . TY!
I remember seeing him on the Late, Late show with Craig Ferguson. The seemed to be friends. I was sad when I heard of his passing. I hope rests in peace now. Thank you for doing this for us. You and Katie take care and be safe always.
Great for see you guys and Jaw of course my girlfriend and I live here and my girl worked sound and stage and said he was a delight to work for 👍🏻😎🇺🇸🦅🙏😇
I had forgotten Louie has passed away so recently. Really only remember his stand up stuff from late night shows. Not a big tv fan going forward so didn't know what he done later on. But I enjoyed him. He was very funny and liked when he joked about his family. Thanks so much for this!
This was so interesting & yet so sad. He was such a comedy genius. Heartbreaking to hear about his life with his dad & the issue with his will. He was so naturally funny & kind. Love the stories about Perfect Strangers & Eddie Murphy. Great vlog. 💙
Jordan another quality video with excellent content presented and edited so professionally. Your integration of Katie just keeps getting better and Ms. Katie has really stepped it up a lot in this episode. Her insightful remarks and great presentation are a true asset to this channel. Thanks for an excellent job well done, by you both.
I'm glad you vlog this Jordan, because I'm a big fan of Louie! I was shocked to hear he died. Sad, is the suspicious tampering with his will. I hope the sisters will triumph in the end. "Mom Louie is looking at me again" stand up comedy show was what got me hooked on him, I laughed so hard! I laughed at so many lines from that show, like his fathers impersonations: ''look at that guy...Don't look at him! Just look at him!!! Jeeze!" or His mom: "The Johnsons are home! They are rich ya' know!" RIP Louie "The Claw" Anderson!
I was not a Louie Anderson fan however, Jordan has a way of making videos about people so very interesting. And I love when Katie and jah appear in the videos. Thanks!😊
I met Louie in the Ralph's supermarket on LaBrea and 3rd Street in LA in 1995. He was very nice. I loved tht show baskets. I saw them filming Baskets in Pasadena in 2022 at City Hall. His Will being change sounds a lot like Michael Jackson's Will being changed with a signature that wasn't his signature. I guess Randy Quaid was right. In this case, not about star-wackers, but about crooks stealing the estates of stars. Do not create a Will for your loved ones create a Trust. A Trust allows your estate and belongs to go directly to who you want, without lawyers and the courts taking money from your estate to sort things out. Great video
I remember going to a family feud taping when he first started hosting. When we went to the taping, it was supposed to be jeff foxworthy hosting but they changed it to Louie Anderson.
I was a big fan of Louie, especially his FX show Baskets with Zach Galifinakis. His debut with Johnny Carson is on You Tube. It was his big break and a strong performance.
Great vlog! I loved Louie Anderson … it’s crazy , I was just thinking about him last night , wondering how he was doing after watching a TikTok video someone made. They actually added a picture of him .. but they said he was still living. Hope Jah is doing alright… He looked a little tired. ❤️ Thanks Jordan & Katie for this one! ❤
What an excellent show about Louie! He was loved by my family growing up. My husband is also from St Paul. I’m from the Iron Range. You should definitely check out people who grew up in Hibbing. Some very famous people came from my hometown. Plus our high school is amazing! So beautiful.
Seems odd that he wouldn’t have had several plots for him and his family? I wonder who made the arrangements. How disgusting that the manager is getting away with the will… when a will is contested like that, I wonder if the money is locked up or if the thieves are off spending it all.
Wow never knew he was almost in Perfect Strangers. I was a teen when that was on and was a fan of the show. I can’t really imagine him in it. As Bronson Pinchot was so over the top I don’t think it would have worked with another comedian.
Louie Anderson was a very funny guy but anytime I saw him on TV etc. I always felt a sense of sadness surrounding him. Katie, when you smile you light up the whole screen.
Louis was the BEST!!! Saw him at the Guthrie doing stand up 4 times. He also wrote a book called Dear Dad to tell him how he hurt him as a kid and to deal with the demons.
I always liked Louie Anderson I thought he was very funny., he made a movie called " the wrong guys " ,, Jordan if you never have seen it try to watch it. It's very funny it's all comedians . I'm not sure when it came out , somewhere in the early 80's. THANK YOU FRANK FROM MONTANA... PS I was one of the three sheetrockers who hung the sheetrock on the Mc Donald's on Queens Blvd. In New York back in about 1975 .
Thank you for another great and respectful tribute. I was a fan of Luis Anderson as well. I remember meeting him once at the donut shop on Santa Monica across from the silver spoon restaurant. I can’t think of the cross street unfortunately they are all gone now. I’m glad he found happiness at the end. But like you said it’s sad that his family is not in the same wall crypt. Ok, I know this will be a strange thing to say, but I always feel a bit sad when you see a personality that was so much larger than life, and they are now placed in a little tiny square. I thought the same when I saw Burt Lancaster’s marker at Westwood Memorial.
i met Louie at a restaurant called The Varsity in Atlanta, he was really nice and took a selfie with me, i was sorry to hear he passed. very funny guy!❤
I saw Louie in alot of movie bit parts, always funny. He was in the Kevin Bacon film Quicksilver as a bike messenger! Also he did a Remington Steele episode playing a snooty rich kid. Pretty good actor.
It was a sad day when he passed. Thanks for covering this. He is a hometown legend!!❤
I know why his Mom stayed in the marriage, back in that generation they had a saying "You made your bed, now lie in it"🌻Right or wrong that generation just stuck with it and tried to make the best of a bad situation. That generation grew up with wars, rationing and The Great Depression so they'd seen worse. Louie was great.
You’re exactly right.
Yes my mother used to say that
Don’t get it. Live in pain. I guess Satan ruled.
I know a friend of mine got to see Louie Anderson live do a speech when he was in Minnesota
@@melaniemansfield3319 Not Satan, just a misplaced sense of loyalty due to societal expectations.
“I started out mopping the floor just like you guys. But now... now I'm washing lettuce. Soon I'll be on fries; then the grill. In a year or two, I'll make assistant manager, and that's when the big bucks start rolling in!”
Coming to America right?
You know your movies.
@@eds1512YES! love that bit

What a really nice tribute to Louie Anderson!! Thanks Jordan and Katie, very well done!
It depresses me when I think about Mrs. Baskets being gone. Brilliantly funny show and could never continue on without him.
It's so nice to see Katie along on these vlogs! 💖
She is gorgeous!
It’s nice to see quite a bit of her

I remember that film. One of my favorites from growing up. Never realized Louie had a brief appearance in it, good catch!
Glad to see your little doggy doing well, i see some white hairs on him but looking cuter than ever! 😊

Louie Anderson was a comedy genius! May he R.I.P.
Thanks Jordan and Katie! You two are a dynamic duo. Love seeing the clip of little Jah. Safe travels. ~Love&Light♥️Carli

JAH I mean 💕
Seeing the picture of his parents, you can see he looks like his mum.
Nice seeing Katie. 😊
Thank you for this great video on Louie Anderson. So nice to see you happy with Katie Jordan, I wish you all the best!
I met Louie at the Excalibur in Vegas during a meet and greet after his show. He was the nicest guy!
J, K &Jah, you’ve made so many great MN videos, but this tribute was my favorite! Louie was such a funny & kindhearted soul! I didn’t know about his estate & I hope justice is served . TY!

Louie always made things so happy, such an incredible smile. Ty for this Jorden and Katie, great job
RIP LOUIE, you are sadly missed😿💔😿
Great job on this one
Louie was one of a kind
Sad his will was taken away from his sisters 😵💫
Thanks for this video! I loved Louie Anderson. So sad about what happened with his will…
Thanks for this fun Louie video!! Loved him in Coming To America.
Louis Anderson was a really funny guy. Such a sad day when he died. Thank you for covering this!
Jordan Thank You for sharing. Louie Anderson always made us laugh.
Thank you for this tribute to Louie! Loved Louie. St. Paul was very proud of him.
luv Louie Anderson he was sweet man so funny, I hope his sisters win their case his estate rightfully belongs to them as was intended
Great for see you guys and Jaw of course my girlfriend and I live here and my girl worked sound and stage and said he was a delight to work for 👍🏻😎🇺🇸🦅🙏😇

Good job guys, I always enjoyed his stand up. His one bit was recanting family potluck dinners and his mom spotting someone bringing only chips.
Very interesting.I always liked him. He seemed like a genuinely nice guy.
Another great video! You have the best content, Jordan!!! Keep up the good work, good to see Katie too 😊
A talented and funny man. I’m loving all your videos from Minnesota.
This was so interesting & yet so sad. He was such a comedy genius. Heartbreaking to hear about his life with his dad & the issue with his will. He was so naturally funny & kind. Love the stories about Perfect Strangers & Eddie Murphy. Great vlog. 💙

Life with louis! Was one of my fav childhood cartoons! Loved baskets as well!
Great video thanks Daze God bless you brother!!✌️🇺🇲
great episode Jordan & Cadie and y'all have great chemistry,,,,take care my friend..
Hi Jordan and the beautiful Miss Katie :) Your videos always bring a smile. *Heartbreaking about Loui's agent stealing $$$
Great video as always Jordan! I always thought Louie was funny growing up.
I met Louie in the Ralph's supermarket on LaBrea and 3rd Street in LA in 1995. He was very nice. I loved tht show baskets. I saw them filming Baskets in Pasadena in 2022 at City Hall. His Will being change sounds a lot like Michael Jackson's Will being changed with a signature that wasn't his signature. I guess Randy Quaid was right.

This was a great video on Louie and I thank you Jordan and Katie for sharing with us.
Jordan you are without doubt the best reporter ….so complete in your story telling no short cuts I am always impressed.
Very kind of you!
OMG! fantastic video! Louie! wow .......... fantastic video! Thank you! so much information!
Alot of comedy comes from pain, loneliness, and negativity.
I remember going to a family feud taping when he first started hosting. When we went to the taping, it was supposed to be jeff foxworthy hosting but they changed it to Louie Anderson.
I saw Louie in Milwaukee in 1985 with Rosanne Barr as the opening act. It was a great show, and Louie was hilarious.
Thanks sharing very sad about estate still dealing with my family estate
I remember Louie Anderson he was funny nice resting place for him in miniapolis minasota good vlog jordan
I was a big fan of Louie, especially his FX show Baskets with Zach Galifinakis. His debut with Johnny Carson is on You Tube. It was his big break and a strong performance.
Always nice seeing you in my home state. I saw Louie when he played at the Brave New Workshop in Minneapolis (Dudley Riggs). He is sure missed.
Great vlog! I loved Louie Anderson … it’s crazy , I was just thinking about him last night , wondering how he was doing after watching a TikTok video someone made. They actually added a picture of him .. but they said he was still living. Hope Jah is doing alright… He looked a little tired. ❤️
Thanks Jordan & Katie for this one! ❤
I liked Louie RIP ❤
Thank you Jordan I enjoyed it very much!
One of the first things I remember him from was the movie called The Wrong Guys, it was worth watching just to hear John Goodman sing Tammy!
Jordan and Katie, did you know that Louie Anderson was in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off? He was in the flower delivery scene.
Sad that his sisters did get his money!! Does sound suspicious!!
Thanks you both for this heartfelt life story!!💕
They did not get his money, but yeah, it is very suspicious.
Louie was wonderful in Baskets. He is greatly missed.
I became a huge fan of Louie Anderson after seeing him in the movie Coming To America.😂🤣😂 His performance in Baskets was outstanding.
What an excellent show about Louie! He was loved by my family growing up. My husband is also from St Paul. I’m from the Iron Range. You should definitely check out people who grew up in Hibbing. Some very famous people came from my hometown. Plus our high school is amazing! So beautiful.
Thanks Jordan. Great video.
Anyone else notice how so many of these famous people come from very poor and/or broken homes??
Seems odd that he wouldn’t have had several plots for him and his family? I wonder who made the arrangements. How disgusting that the manager is getting away with the will… when a will is contested like that, I wonder if the money is locked up or if the thieves are off spending it all.
Wow never knew he was almost in Perfect Strangers. I was a teen when that was on and was a fan of the show. I can’t really imagine him in it. As Bronson Pinchot was so over the top I don’t think it would have worked with another comedian.
'Christine' was one of the greatest, top-ten developed characters recorded.
A stand-up, stand-up.
good seeing you two........here as always in tacoma washington.....
It’s unfortunate when there is fighting over estates. He was always funny. RIP LA 🙏🏻🙏🏻
RIP from a fellow 1971 graduate from St Paul Johson High😮
Loved Louie Anderson / Big Loss / Thank You Both
I actually saw him in Nashville once at the comedy club i laughed so hard my sides hurt
Your videos are very interesting. Louie was a funny guy. Thanks for the video.

He was so funny, the cartoon was hilarioussssssss.
What a great comedian! He was also the flower delivery guy in Ferris Buellers day off
I saw Louie in alot of movie bit parts, always funny. He was in the Kevin Bacon film Quicksilver as a bike messenger! Also he did a Remington Steele episode playing a snooty rich kid. Pretty good actor.
Charles Schultz was from St Paul as well
Louie was a real comedian. Every day life stuff with no vulgar language. The world needs more Louie Andersons.
One place you have to check out is the Vince Shute wildlife sanctuary in Orr Minnesota I have heard it’s worth checking out
My buddy Alex O’Brian is there too. Love you guys!
I learned a lot from this. I am sorry for his sisters. Katie is brave wearing a bears hat in Viking country. Major rivalry. Both in the same division.
Louie also wrote a book called goodbye jumbo I also saw his last comedy special he taped before he died and it was good
Great video.....thank you.
He was also really good friends with singer Eddie Money and his family.
He was very funny.
My Mother grew up with his family in the Roosevelt Projects .
That was a really nice video
RIP Louie 😢❤
Louie Anderson seemed to be a very happy person to be around. Wish there were more like him. RIP Louie !! :~)
I just recently realized that Louie made a cameo appearance in “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off”. But he was BRILLIANT in “Baskets”.
What a brilliant guy!! ❤️
