New Jersey Stage published its 25,000th story in December 2021. As the site approached the milestone, we posed the question on social media as how we should celebrate. One response was to highlight our favorite stories from over the years. We liked this idea, but could not narrow things down to just 25 favorites so we will present a favorite each day from different genres. Today's choice is a look at comedy with an interview of Louie Anderson from 2017.
The interview was published on June 23, 2017 and is available here. We had this interview on our list for the series, but seeing the news that he passed away today made us run it now. According to his publicist, Anderson died from complications from non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. He was 68.
In the interview, Andersons tells Danny Coleman that he never intended to be a comedian until some friends gave him the nudge, talks about his comedic influences, and explains how his role in the Eddie Murphy film Coming to America opened doors for him.
