RIP Louie YOU WILL BE MISSED..
Courageous guy from top to bottom. Louie's entire life took
lots of guts.
100 percent!! I loved Louie so much!! Rest in peace buddy!! ♥️
Wow I didn’t know he died. Funny dude.
But not forgotten,...
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
You are a good friend to remind us all what a kind heart Louie Anderson had. And you are right. He is missed....
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
I bet you have some stories, treasure them
Please share another story or two per year. He'd want it that way.
Is it just me or did Louie seemed more thrilled about winning the $20k at the casino over the $250k cheque for the ad!? That's gambling for ye, rarely it's about the money. Great story though, I love Louie
Lol..I was thinking that. That's the brain of a compulsive gambler.
He won $98,000 he started with $2,000.
"Money won is twice as sweet as money earned." - "Fast" Eddie Felson - The Color of Money
That was his point. Why he kept mentioning the sickness
"money won is much sweeter than money earned"
I love the way he ended the story. He could’ve ended it at winning the money and then mention he paid the guy, but instead he kept me on the edge of my seat as he boarded the plane (making me think he was going to forget it or lose his luggage) and then did the commercial (make me think the PA guy was going to steal it) all the while adding little details that put me more in the moment with him. Fantastic storyteller!
As a story teller....master.
That devious look on his face at 3:06 remembering when he got up to $90k really says it all about gambling addiction. Reminds me of Uncut Gems.
He had the money to lose. RIP YOU LOVING MAN
@@carolynwells4892 Indeed
Louie’s betting 10k per hand, he must’ve finally made assistant manager at McDowells
Unlimited strawberry milkshakes!
😂😂😂😂 when he finally got to the fries, that took him to the top
That's when you make the big bucks.
Just two years huh?
Dude you just made me realize that was him
every gambling addict knows that this story makes perfect sense lmao
I’m not an addict, I can stop if I want to. I just don’t want to
@@Stranger_In_The_Alps lol
@@Stranger_In_The_Alps 😂😂😂
Ok..last hand.
@@dougstyles if you win it’s “now I can play with that money I just won it doesn’t matter if I lose it” & if you lose, it’s “fuck I gotta get that money back then I’ll cash out!”
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.
Mistake Lake by any chance?
louie dont play slot ur sisters a lying alut whos probably dead from an 9verdose by now
matt shine well that escalated quickly
I'm pretty sure that I saw him playing high-limit video poker at the Venetian back in about 2000. It's easy enough to mistake video poker for a slot machine if you're [playing at one of the slant-top machines without an overhead display.
"Just a sweaty asshole and two pockets". Why Norton is the best.
I knew WHO he was by image and voice, but now that he's passed and I'm watching his material, I wish I would have paid attention before....a comedic master at storytelling. RIP Louie
Same can be said in life I suppose eh? Paying attention etc. Too deep for a
Comedy channel but it got me thinking ☺️
Eating, sex disorders, and gambling disorders often coincide… when I realized casinos cater to all three I got so disgusted I haven’t been back since
GOD BLESS YOU, for being a man of principle. *Thank You" for being part of what's right in the world. Thank you for having a moral compass.
I love louie anderson’s stand up he’s hysterical
Emily Anderson yea wish RUclips had more of his stuff!!
I forgot how funny Louie is
This is so backhanded
Louie is a national treasure.
Louie was a gem. Saw him in Vegas about 12 years ago. One helluva gambling story!!
I will never forget your humor. RIP
RIP Louie You will be missed! 💓
Rest in Heaven Louie !!!
Imagine if I was on drugs might have won 200 thousand, amazing line
What a great story, the rewatch factor is high with this one
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!!!!!"
RIP, one of the great stand ups!
He was truly a legend. An expert story teller, even sitting here just shooting the breeze with these guys, he has an excellent sense of timing. He just knows what he's doing.
RIP, Louie Anderson.
I was on the pins and needles the whole time just waiting for all to blow away in the wind. Glad it worked out!
RIP Louie
I love Louie. Can never get enough of him.
Louie is a legend
Thanks for the laughs big guy
Gambling addiction is almost impossible to recover from. It takes years to build up the non-gambling muscle and atrophy the gambling muscle.
Mike C. - if you want to quit you can do it. There is help out there and you need a good support system from friends and family.
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.
@@daveluttinen2547 I can’t even win a single hand or roll or button push . I’ve probably gone to the casino 15-20 times and only won once
this story gives me panic attacks lol
As an ex gambler it is
Omg I was ready to lay down now my heart's going a mile a minute.smh fml
Great story. Always a great story teller and comedian.
RIP to one of the greatest
Oh man I miss Louie as a regular comedian on tv he was the man. This gambling story is hilarious n hits home
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!
Great story. He was a funny man.
This is awesome, getting out of the hole that deep might happen once or twice in your lifetime
This interview is a commercial for gambling. i thought the video would teach a lesson about the dangers of gambling because he lost the money... Lol
This is incredible. Imagine that flight home 💰✈️
Jesus Christ I cried over losing 580 dollars putting 20 bucks in slot machines... I don’t know how I could live with myself if I lost 80 grand!!
Edit: RIP Louie God... I loved this man and I am happy I got to see him live before he died.
Helps when you're also lined up for a 250k cheque.
Fully agree with you though, and RIP to the man
Classic. RIP Louie😂
R.I.P Louie Anderson.
RIP Louie!!
I'm making a videogame about gambling addiction and I love this kind of story... Fucking gambling sucks man, most of the time people don't tell their real stories. "I lost 80k and then another 100k and then..."
A videogame about gambling addiction? That sounds like a gamble to me...
When i was a kid i took ceasars palace for snes. Would bet it all on blackjack. If i won, id save the game. If i lost id reset. Eventully i had billions of fake money and none of the games were fun anymore after that
Dam
'Are you big fat Paulie?' kicks Peter Griffin in balls ' Im Louie Anderson!'
Gambling Addiction is the worst. Im 100% sure after he got that check from ad . He blew it all at Casino. The circle never end that is why more gamblers died each year from suicide than any other addiction. #fact
Read John Daly's memoir for some more gambling stories.
Spot on!!!
It was a challenge for Norm MacDonald too.
Damnit, I can relate, except for the Commercial because, Not Famous. lol. This is such a sad story really, and he sounds like every gambler I've ever met. I got 80,000, but I could have 100,000 thousand!
Everyone expects to win
So glad that was a happy ending. Thought he was going to blow it all and miss the commercial gig.
Rest in peace Louie
RIP Louie had to come watch my favorite clip
Wish I had a story like that. All I got is I once won a hundred bucks playing bingo.
Rest in peace Louie.
I thought something was going to happen to the money. Good to hear a story where something works out. We miss you, Louie.
That's the funniest part.... Lol... He made his money back!? Rediculous.
RIP big fella....watched you and laughed as a young man with my parents...funny dude for decades!
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.
Awesome gambling comeback, Louie!! I have a friend Paul who lives in LA, and he has a few Vegas stories that are very interesting as well!!
I SOOO Luv this One… ALL Louie’s Stories are PRICELESS 😇🌻🌹💜🙏
R.I.P.🌹🌻😇💜🙏🍄😍🔥🎶🌈💔☮️
THIS HURTS TO HEAR MAN!!! Been there!
I wanna see that commercial. I'm sure it's on here somewhere.
Love Louie!!!!!! Great story !!!!
Louis told stories so well. This one is so fun.
Great storyteller, Love Louie
They had that random guy on the left on mic while Ron Bennington sat in the darkness.
That was fantastic!
Grew up watching this guy in movies. Nice to see him still alive and well.
He dead
He passed away.
Too bad... Louie was such a family based comic at the top of his game. This is a sad reminder of what fame and LA and Hollywood does to people,
Robert Lewis --- that gets old for them, just like Paul Reubens of Pee Wee Herman fame, their routines get old, and they get stuck in same old roles and stereotypes.
He isn't hurting financially.
Back in 88 maybe, I was 10 and he had a great comedy special that I'm gonna look for now cause I used to loveit
I’ve never seen the appeal to gambling really, the first I went into a casino I just looked at the human zombies glued to these slot machines and it freaked me out
Dopamine...
I saw a documentary about a retired doctor that played slots for 5 years and gave up 4 million dollars. She finally died and the casino paid for her funereal. Isn't that nice?
Yes, because you have never won anything.
@@ig00g1e I saw that one also. They had the funeral at the casino.
It's the thrill something you obviously wouldn't understand
Oh yeah, I started out mopping the floor just like you guys. Then I moved up to washing lettuces. Now, I'm working the fat fryer. Pretty soon I'll be flipping the burgers , and that's when the big bucks start rolling in.
I used to see him at Santa Anita racetrack in the late 80's
Was he blowing jockeys?
I had to rescue my homie from the Bicycle Club, he was up big and called me to come get him because he couldn’t stop!
I love a good long gambling story.
Not often do you hear a story about someone’s gambling addiction and they win.
This makes me want to fly to Vegas.
+Dunstin Checksin You will lose. People lie about winning in vegas. Mostly they lose
Nicoyutub
I know that.
THEN FUCKING ENJOY!!!!!!
VEGAS WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Nicoyutub I'd be losing my ass gambling there instead of doing it from home. It sounds funner.
+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
Wow! Great story. Would love to see Louie on JRE.
I was so hoping this story would end well. Made me so nervous. Glad he won.
@Shlomo Shekelstein this is why drugs are a better addiction. They usually still get you high. Even when you’re losing you still win
Love the shakey camera!
Very cool!
RIP Louie, what a great story
💯
Is gambling more destructive than most drugs? Seems worse than alcohol; and it's all mental, no physical harm. That comes later when Guido wants the money you owe.
u can reset yourself easyier from drugs then if u owe money due to gambling , the feeling of losing it all after made me not go loco when gambling anymore but still its something in your head u cant stop
More Gamblers died each year that from suicide than any other drugs addiction. #Fact
Changes brain chemistry. Gambling is as addictive as must drugs.
It is the WORST of all addictions.
Well it all depends, if ur ducking the sharks because of not paying ur vig, getting a beating may be just as bad as going through withdrawals
always loved louie 🙏
I love this guy!!😎😎
Awesome Opie clip !! Don't think I heard HIS voice once the Entire Clip >_
LOVE, LOVE LOUIE !!!!! 💖💖💖💖 RIP
Gosh I got the best laugh you guys are great.
Great story... RIP
Oh my God this is so good.
R.I.P Louie !
He was known as a champion on the tables..and would win large sums more than not.
i wish i had a story like this
Great story. RIP.
No matter what Louie had style and class. Love you Louie!
So tragic
One of a kind!
Imagine if I was on drugs? I could have won 200,000. Classic
superior story from one of the best Minnesota proud
Miss you Louie ❤
I won 500 at a casino and they took their time paying me, and I was playing poker. Bastards.
Rip sir!
I liked this video but it made me nervous because I know someone just like that and it was awful. God bless you Louie
Turn out to be a great story for a gambling man I figured he would be deeper in the hole!!
GREAT story!
