2022's been a sad year so far.
Louie was a gambler alright. I played cards with him and Jeff Cesario in 1981. I was a volunteer at St. Joe's Children home where Louie worked pre-comedy and I lived with 2 of his fellow workers (Jim and Tom). Louie and Jeff would come over often after a comedy set and we'd play into the wee hours. and laugh...god would we laugh. Louie didn't drink, but he could stay up all night playing cards. HE LOVED PLAYING CARDS!! I'll miss his presence and always remember, as good a comedian he was - he was an even better child care worker. Louie cared about people. RIP my friend

Cannot imagine hanging out with Louie and the comedy gold he was dropping in addition he must have dropped untold thousands of dollars on gambling.
Louie Anderson was a great personality I was a limo driver in Las Vegas at the Rio hotel I drove Louie Anderson many Times he was a gentleman he was generous and he was one of the best celebrity personalities that I had ever been involved with he was compassionate and he had a brother that he was very concerned about who had some personal issues I love these stories! And yes I Did Drive Louie Anderson too many of his late night gaming session

Louie was a gem. Saw him in Vegas about 12 years ago. One helluva gambling story!!
The interruptions from the peanut gallery are a negative force, sapping energy. Don’t “help.” Let the man tell his story: cool, smooth delivery.
My sister used to work at a casino in Minnesota and Louie would do shows there and then come out on the floor to gamble. She would tell me that he would sit at slot machines for _hours_ looking like the walking dead, unkempt, with glazed eyes. He was nice, but she felt sorry for him. He was a mess. Good to see he's surviving this addiction.

I was on the pins and needles the whole time just waiting for all to blow away in the wind. Glad it worked out!
I always loved Lewis Black's take on gambling, specifically slot machines in Vegas: "What you do is you rent a motel room and you go into the bathroom with a bucket full of quarters and you keep flushing down quarters until it backs up and you get some of your money back and YOU FEEL LIKE A WINNER!!!!!"
Great story. Always a great story teller and comedian.
Great story. He was a funny man.
What a perfect guest the last two days. Stories that make you laugh, cry and everything in between. Love Louie, hope he comes back soon!

Gambling addiction is almost impossible to recover from. It takes years to build up the non-gambling muscle and atrophy the gambling muscle.

I dropped $5K in a week. For me, that is a fortune, but it was out of savings, not scared money. Still. It hurt. I have not been in a casino except to eat in the last three years. I'm just sick - and every time I am tempted, I think about what that money could have been used for. I hope everyone who suffers from the addiction can beat it. Professional help is also available for those who are wrestling with it. Just saying. Lives get better without addictions.

I've got an old car addiction, it's expensive enough. When I lose $300 I don't go into a casino for 5 years.

+Dunstin Checksin I think the best way to play is set aside however much u can live with throwing away. Then just play small to mid games most of the week and just enjoy the games. Last day you're there you play the final big 3 games. Half your stack on one hand, win or lose you put the rest on another hand (even roll or spin). If you're lucky enough to have a chance at the final bet you put entire stack on black. Time. To. Leave. Hopefully with a huge smile :D

He was known as a champion on the tables..and would win large sums more than not.
That was fantastic!

It's easier losing 80k when you know you're getting a 250k check the next day for one day of work.
I liked this video but it made me nervous because I know someone just like that and it was awful. God bless you Louie
