    Comedian Louie Anderson dead at 68

    Comedian and actor Louie Anderson, whose career spanned more than four decades, has died. He was 68.

    Anderson died at a hospital in Las Vegas of complications from cancer, said Glenn Schwartz, his longtime publicist. Anderson had a type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, Schwartz said previously.

    Anderson is known for his unlikely performance as mom to twin adult sons in the TV series "Baskets." The role won him a 2016 Emmy for best supporting actor for his portrayal of Christine Baskets, mother to twins played by Zach Galifianakis.

    He was a familiar face elsewhere on TV, including as host of a revival of the game show "Family Feud" from 1999 to 2002, and on comedy specials and in frequent late-night talk show appearances.

    I actually ran across "Baskets" a few years ago, and I caught a couple of episodes - It was hilarious, but I stopped watching, because it was also rather bawdy - I also recall seeing one of his deadpan standup routines - Again, very funny, but wouldn't sit thru it all, due to vulgarity.

    Hope he knew Jesus.
