Back in the 1980s, comedian Louie Anderson was everywhere. The major late night talk shows, cable specials – you name it. After a challenging childhood, and paying his dues in the comedy clubs, Anderson had arrived.

He’s been a cartoon character and a character actor. And an author. We talk about his life and his career. Photo: Flickr/2harvest
