Pauly Shore revealed on Thursday, January 20, the actor was in the hospital for treatment.“Attention comedians and @TheComedyStore alumni’s I say this with a heavy heart just left the hospital in Las Vegas where Louie Anderson his sisters and close friend were kind enough to let me say my goodbyes he’s still with us but keep him in your prayers,” Shore tweeted.After a social media user replied to Shore’s tweet, “Please let him know that we love him Pauly,” he responded, “I did.”Anderson was known for his stand-up, cartoon series Life with Louie and his performance as Christine Baskets in Baskets.

I thought I was a much better serious than funny actor, but I always thought I was both at once.”He added that the Baskets set, led by Zach Galifianakis, was full of the “most welcoming and warm and loving group of people” he’s ever met.“This is a set where everybody knows each other,” Anderson said. “Nobody gets yelled at because they made a mistake.
