10 Greatest Living Comedians: Louie Anderson is Great but Andrew Shulz is Fake
Louie Anderson is Number 9 on my list of The Top 10 Greatest Living Comedians when I started making this video. Turns out he died! I did forget to deduct the mitigating factor of his grotesque fatThin visage but even still he made it to my list. (pretend he's still alive while you watch).
Then things go horribly wrong. In an effort to give a kind of 'opposite' weaker comedian for comparison I happened upon this Fake Comedian 'Andrew Shulz'. Not 'Shultz' so even his name is effing annoying. A bit of rage ensues at the end.
Louie Anderson might be one of the most underrated standup comedians i the world today (pssst.. okay he died) and I've never really grabbed up why other than: He started young, early and was an almost instant success back in the day when they really made a comedy club around him and for him (and a close knit gang of standup pals). Add to that he is THE example of a young comedian absolutely blowing the doors off a 1st appearance on The Johnny Carson Show. Louie Anderson has a VERY impressive standup career where he's done really every venue and audience.
Was he TOO GOOD to be heralded as great by the larger standup world? It's said he was always able to pick and choose what he liked. Even as a young still-climbing comic he'd pleasantly decline offers to work at jobs many other comedians might see as 'Doing your grind' and 'workin your way up' and all that. Anderson has a very impressive IMDB and he's on the list for longevity, breadth and width of career, for a stunning variety of comedy, from kid's shows to rather dark and disturbing shows around alcoholism and dysfunctional family heritage. He also did 'sweet' things. This has led some to mistakenly believe Louie Anderson was a kind of safe, family-friendly, mainstream product. Wrong. I mean, he could do that but he could also do adult-themes, black comedy.
Anyway, believe that Louie Anderson is one of the greatest standup of our time and go find out why.
