With wry wit and poignant humor, Louie Anderson, New York Times best-selling author and three-time Emmy Award-winning comedian starring in Zach Galifianakis's Baskets, shares his journey of turning life's challenges into joy as well as the wisdom he's gained from his mother.

Louie Anderson has been channeling his beloved mom in his iconic stand-up comedy for decades - but she passed away before getting to see him reach new heights with his breakout role.

Hey Mom is Louie's way of catching Ora Zella Anderson up on everything that has been going on in his life, including his continued struggles with food and family, but also how so much has changed for the better. He also has plenty of laugh-out-loud stories about his incredibly resilient mother and his 10 siblings, as well as observations on the absurdities of life that only Louie Anderson could make.

Honest yet funny, Hey Mom is a loving tribute to Louie's mother and will surely inspire you to write a letter to your own mom.

I discovered Louie's hilarity when gathered around a large TV downstairs watching a late night show at our college dorm. Must have been the Letterman show, since we were studying at Dave's alma mater, and no one dared switch the channel to other shows! So glad we did not. Louie was brilliant, kind, real and truly golden! He will be missed! R.I.P. Lou! Have listened to him read this one, watched many of his shows including Baskets where he played Christine, a character modeled after his own mother! What a Mom! 11 kids, of which Louie was #1O! I will be sure to read/listen to all his books now!

Almost 40 years ago!

I haved loved Louie since I first watched him do standup and fell more in love with him as Christine Baskets. Hey Mom felt like Louie was describing my family as I too grew up with an alcoholic father only thing is I still haven’t grown up and still carry scars of that childhood like Louie. My husband and I listened too it while driving 14 hours up and back to watch our daughter graduate from college and the audible book was thoroughly enjoyable and made a tedious drive seem to go by as we hung on everything Louie said . Here’s to all the strong women who grow strong kids! God bless you Louie! Love, June and yes it does truly get better❤️

this is a wonderful, heartfelt book! The honesty at which Louie writes, opening his most personal feelings to us is moving. To hear him in his comic brilliance narrate it and make you laugh one minute and then bring you to tears with the next story again by more than just the story, you can hear his emotion as he tells the story. His pain and his joy. Well Done!

Fantastic

The first 2/3 is great - you get to know about Louie and the mother who helped shape a man while raising a large family. The last part became repetitive and and sounded like a self-promotion for his TV show.

Great book. I bought an autograph copy when this book was released. I am a big fan of Louie Anderson. I just had to experience this audio version. I am super super glad I did. To hear the expression in Louies voice as he read was moving. I got a lot out of this book. I keep thinking. Hey I’m in my 40’s climb something. Will do Louie. I enjoyed this book.

To me inspirational
