LOS ANGELES (AP) — Louie Anderson is being treated for cancer in a Las Vegas hospital, a spokesman for the actor and comedian said.

Anderson, 68, was diagnosed with a type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma and “is resting comfortably,” his longtime publicist Glenn Schwartz said Tuesday.

A native of St. Paul, Minnesota, Anderson lives in Las Vegas.

He won a 2016 Emmy for best supporting actor for his unlikely role in the comedy “Baskets” as Christine Baskets, mom to twin sons played by Zach Galifianakis. Anderson received three consecutive Emmy nods for his performance.

1. Hope his treatment is successful.

I love his role in "Baskets."

2. I wish him well. He seems like a good guy. I remember him on

a diving show. He was terrified to do it but scrounged up all his courage and finally did it. He was open to showing his fear in front of a tv audience. That took some courage. Again, wishes for a full recovery.
