“Damn. Such a funny great guy. Made us all laugh so much. Loved him. Condolences to his whole family,” he wrote.
Elsewhere, Henry Winkler remembered Anderson’s “generosity of spirit”, while Viola Davis commented, “RIP Louie Anderson! You were as gracious and kind as you were funny. Rest well!! Keep ’em laughing in Heaven.”
In a tweet, Kathy Griffin described the funnyman as a “singular comic”, and Jeff Ross also referred to music icon Meat Loaf’s death earlier on Friday, and joked: “When Meatloaf died, Louie Anderson was like, ‘What’s the point of living?’ I loved them both.”
