Louie Anderson (born March 24, 1953) is an
American stand-up comedian, who created the
cartoon series Life with Louie and hosted the game
show Family Feud.

His obesity is one of his trademarks, although he
has slimmed considerably in recent years, stooped
in depression.

Anderson recently published the book The F Word:
How To Survive Your Family.

Anderson was blackmailed by a man named Richard J.
Gordon.  Gordon extorted money from Anderson,
threatening to reveal to tabloids his claim that
Anderson approached him in a California casino
requesting sexual acts. Anderson initially paid
Gordon $100,000, fearing the story would threaten
his starring roles in two family-oriented series,
but when Gordon's demands increased to $250,000,
he informed law enforcement authorities.  Gordon
was arrested in 2000 and sentenced to 21 months in
prison.
