I always loved how effortless @LouieAnderson made stand up look. He could get an applause break with a slight change of expression or a sideway glance. A true master. Thank you for all the laughs and for being so nice. You were one of the greats! Rest In Peace.

A brilliant stand up and wonderful craftsman of silliness. Louie Anderson came to see me perform at the Tropicana in Vegas and I was thrilled and honored. He could not have been kinder and more generous.#TheLyonsAreLeavingTheCircus https://t.co/fO4Yc5RiH9

I feel so lucky that I knew you Louie Anderson. So funny. So gentle. You were always encouraging. A midwestern big brother from another big midwestern family in this crazy business. You conquered stand up, writing (Dear Dad) & most recently we fell in love w/ ur acting in Baskets pic.twitter.com/1GrXFCavUx

What a sad day, we've lost both Meat Loaf and Louie Anderson so close together. Two amazing legendary men, may they rest in peace. https://t.co/5qiiGqQ69z

The first time I was on Johnny Carson, Louie Anderson was the other guest. I was very young and nervous, but Louie Anderson saved my performance with hilarious observations on my meandering stories. I always felt fondly towards him after that. #RIPLouieAnderson
