He was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and is said to be resting comfortably at his home in Vegas.

/TIL he won a Best Supporting Actor Emmy in 2016

Unfortunately Louie has since passed, as James noted on the obits forum.

Rough day today....

I won't say I was the biggest fan of his version of Feud, but you can't deny that without it, we wouldn't have gotten what was eventually the syndicated juggernaut it is now.  He did some good things for the show too (the 9/11 donations, deciding the prize money should be upped in Fast Money...) 

And again, with all the stuff going on now, it's extra depressing when we remember that cancer is not done by a longshot...
I'm a pacifist, and even I would like to see a little more action.
