Louie Anderson, a longtime game show and comic book host who won an Emmy for her supporting role as Christine Baskets on the FX series “Baskets,” has died at 68.
She died in Las Vegas after undergoing treatment for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Her publicist said she “passed away peacefully” on Friday morning in a statement to The Post.
Perhaps best known for his brilliant and subversive role in the 1988 comedy “Coming to America,” he landed the role of the only white person in the groundbreaking sitcom. Anderson attributed it to his Midwestern nice-guy roots.
His role as Maurice, McDowell’s seemingly affable employee, produced one of comedy’s most iconic soliloquies. “Hey, I started out mopping the floor like you guys. But now…now I’m washing lettuce,” said Maurice, the wretched Anderson, with withering determination. “Soon I’ll be with fries; then the grill. In a year or two, I’ll be assistant manager, and that’s when the big money starts coming in.”
