Charles Rogers, co-creator and co-showrunner of “Search Party,” shared an old video of Anderson on his Instagram story, writing, “Louie was a magical genius and a deeply loving person. He had cracked a side of life that few people ever do. I’ll be forever grateful for him.”“Few comedians have found success in so many of comedy’s arenas — from stand-up, sitcoms and animation to game shows, reality shows and feature film,” said Journey Gunderson, the executive director of the center.

In a statement from FX, the network wrote, “We are so deeply saddened by the passing of our dear friend, Louie Anderson. For four wonderful seasons, Louie graced us and fans of ‘Baskets’ with a bravura performance as Christine Baskets, for which he deservedly was recognized by his peers with the Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series. It was a risky role for him and he embraced it with a fearlessness and joy that demonstrated his brilliance as an artist.

Actor Michael Abbott Jr. also celebrated Anderson’s work on “Baskets,” writing, “Louie Anderson’s role as Christine on @BasketsFX will go down as one of tv comedies greatest gifts.”
