Sharing the ups and downs of his childhood experiences as one of eleven children in Minnesota, Louie crafted comedy routines that rang true for audiences while reducing them to helpless fits of laughter. Johnny Carson, the comedy icon for generations of rising stars, invited Louie to make his national television debut on the "The Tonight Show" in 1984, and the rest is history. Leno, Letterman, "Comic Relief", Showtime, and HBO specials followed. He has guest-starred in sitcoms like "Grace Under Fire" and dramas like "Touched by an Angel" and "Chicago Hope," and he has had memorable featured roles in film comedies like "Coming to America," opposite of Eddie Murphy, and the classic "Ferris Bueller's Day Off.". Louie has recently returned to late night TV with multiple appearances on the hit shows "The Arsenio Hall Show", "The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson", "The Rosie Show" and his highly rated comedy special "Big Baby Boomer" on CMT. Louie was also a featured guest on "The Dr. Oz Show" with his motivational campaign "Get Off The Couch" and continues to inspire his fans with his struggles and victories with weight loss. Louie won two Emmy Awards for the animated series "Life with Louie" based on his childhood and was seen nightly as the host of the hit revival of "Family Feud". His three bestselling books include Dear Dad - Letters From An Adult Child, a collection of alternately touching and outrageous letters from Louie to his late father, and Good-bye Jumbo...Hello Cruel World and The F Word: How to Survive Your Family. Jason Schommer is a standup comedian who has spent the past two years as the opening act for Louie Anderson in Las Vegas. Louie Anderson says ?Jason is funny, clever, smart, and on his way to the big time!?. Laugh-until-you-cry stories combine with playful one liners covering a wide array of topics ranging from the daily struggles of life to his loveable, yet kooky, Minnesotan family. Jason's unique comedy style ranges from observational humor based on his life, the world around us, and hilarious commentary of pop culture recounting hysterical true encounters with celebrities. Jason began his adventures in standup comedy while working for The Rosie O'Donnell Show in NYC. The show?s writers thought he was funny, so they signed him up to perform at the New York Comedy Club. Jason easily won over the crowd with his quick wit and energetic style. Since then, Jason has quickly become an audience favorite at shows all over with rave reviews and a rapidly growing fan base. Ever since Rox Tarrant was a young girl, she has wanted to be a comedian. Now that she is a comedian, she just wants to be a young girl.

A native of Alexandria, MN Rox got her start in stand up by entering the Twin Cities Funniest Person Contest at Acme Comedy Club. She was a Finalist and went on to work with some of the country's best national headliners Diane Ford, Jeff Cesario, and Louie Anderson. Rox is excited to be working in "The Sweet Potato Tour" and celebrating the Thanksgiving holiday.
