LOS ANGELES (AP) β Louie Anderson, whose four-decade career as a comedian and actor included his unlikely and Emmy-winning performance as mom to twin adult sons in the TV series βBaskets,β has died at age 68.
Andersonβs publicist Glenn Schwartz says the comedian died Friday in Las Vegas.
The publicist had said earlier this week that Anderson was hospitalized for a type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
Heβd been a familiar face elsewhere on TV, including as host of a revival of the game show βFamily Feudβ from 1999 to 2002, and on comedy specials and in frequent late-night talk show appearances.
