Baskets was such a phenomenal “second act” for Louie Anderson. I wish he’d gotten a third. RIP

I worked with Louie Anderson on Baskets. It was his birthday, and we brought out a cake and sang happy birthday to him. Loved his work on that show. What a unique and lovable character Christine Baskets is.. Everyone go check out Baskets <3#RIPLouieAnderson

I had the pleasure of chatting with @LouieAnderson for his podcast and was so grateful to meet him. His books are still here and they are a good read. pic.twitter.com/rBYcZFblOe

What is going on ? We just lost another beautiful funny friend . Omg there’s got to be more funny up there than down here. Norm Bob and now @LouieAnderson . No words but love and shock.

Not one, but TWO artists I really looked up to passed away today! I always wanted to sing like #Meatloaf and be as warmly funny as #LouieAnderson ❤️Devastated that we lost both at once, but grateful they shared their gifts w/ us! #RIPMeatLoaf #riplouieanderson #imgoingbacktobed

So sad to hear about the passing of Louie Anderson. I met him the day I walked my 1st red carpet. We were still filming season 1 of POSE and he was so kind & generous with his time & advice. As a fan of his 90s animated series Life with Louie I was star struck. RIP #LouieAnderson https://t.co/ERykmAJ65r pic.twitter.com/DIuKKHHhc0

Already faced the Reaper 4 years ago. Made me drop a buncha weight, switch to plant-based foods, and add daily exercise. I’m not shaking in my jorts today because I’m *always* worried my heart’ll attack me again.
RIP to both Meatloaf & Louie Anderson. Their art made life better. https://t.co/6YYDKw51PO pic.twitter.com/BGA8DGhtHe

Louie Anderson was a very dear friend and one of the people who very early in my career believed in me and would put me and a couple of other comics he loved up in a hotel in Vegas and pay us to open for him when we needed money. What a huge loss. Rest in peace my friend. https://t.co/G0J32twR0A

Heaven has a hell of an open mic night goin' right about now. Everybody gets the light. You'll be missed. Louie. What an awesome friend. One in a million. Also pictured, the very much alive @kathleenmadigan, who has promised not to die this year. https://t.co/YkW4BSel38 pic.twitter.com/BlkHv5wuLl

When Meatloaf died Louie Anderson was like, “What’s the point of living?” I loved them both.
