    I loved Life with Louie as a kid. It was hilarious and introduced me to Louie Anderson.

    I loved that show. My whole life I’ve quoted it. “Oh geez”, “oh Louie, don’t’cha know”. No one has ever got the references. Since the 90s I’ve thought about Louie every day

    Louie here looks like a combination of Sam Kinison and Benny Bronk from the Howard Stern Show.

    I remember Life with Louie back when it first came on when I was like 9 years old. That was my first introduction to him was his voicing the show. Than when so many years later I saw who the person was behind the voices and his stand up career. Good times good times.

    Always loved Louie. As a kid i watched his show and its re-runs religiously and for some reason i still think about the “flood” episode probably once a month lol. Where his dad built a sandbag barrier around the house to keep it dry. Every time it rains hard i think about that.

    Louie was such a funny guy and i really wish he was in more things. Just the other day i saw an ad for Steve Harvey as a new “daytime tv judge” and thought “man… if they had cast someone actually funny like Louie that would be a hit”.
