who he fancied as a comedian , either a peer or of today ’ s generation , he confidently responded “ Jim Gaffigan .” “ Gaffigan is a lovely human being ,” said Anderson . “ I love all comedians because I know what they go through and I ’ m a big fan of comedy , but Jim is special . How anyone can have that much material and stay above board is a true talent . He keeps it clean and he ’ s funny .” These days , Anderson keeps busy with his stand-up and the role of Christine Baskets on the hit FX comedy series , Baskets , for which he won his third and most recent Emmy in 2016 . Louie plays the part of a woman , a role which he modeled after his mother and sisters . He also includes the character into his current routine . What can we expect from Louie in the future ? “ More stand-up , more new material , I ’ m working on a new one hour special , my sixth one of those . I ’ m going to be on Colbert doing stand-up ; my life is as good as it gets now and I ’ m really enjoying myself .”
