I said 'okay' because next to 'we'll see,' 'okay' is as non-committal as you can get. But somehow, I stuck with it. I hope you like it. I hope that after you read it, you'll write or call your own mom--and dad, sister, brother, cousin, nephew. Or have lunch with them. Or breakfast. It doesn't have to be lunch. But do it now. Don't wait like I did.\"\u003c\/i\u003e --Louie\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Louie Anderson has channeled his beloved mom, Ora Zella Anderson, in his stand-up routine for decades, but she died before seeing him reach his greatest heights, culminating in his breakout TV role as Christine Baskets, the mesmerizing character she inspired. \u003ci\u003eHey Mom\u003c\/i\u003e is Louie's way of catching her up on the triumphs, disappointments, and continuing challenges in life.
