MINNEAPOLIS — Pauly Shore was most likely the last comic to bid farewell to Louie Anderson. And that's appropriate. The "Encino Man" star's mother was the late Mitzi Shore, who ran the famed Comedy Store in Los Angeles and was one of the first gatekeepers to recognize Anderson's talent.
Shore visited Anderson at a Las Vegas hospital last month, roughly 12 hours before the beloved Minnesotan died.
"I wanted him to see a loving face," Shore said Friday night after posing for pictures for hundreds of fans after a show at the Mall of America's House of Comedy. "I told him that my mom loved him."
