Does that mean that Robbo's really Louie Anderson?

yes

No no!

Actually, there was this guy in public school who looked EXACTLY like the cartoon Louie, and he hated it because everyone used to try to get him to say "allright!".

My Canadian Education is tainting me, is Louis pronounced "Lou-ee" *Which is what I think is right*, or "Lou-iss".

Louie = "Lou-ee"

Louis = "Lou-iss"

His name is Louie Anderson.

pah, only Lewis is lou-iss.

Ok. In everything I have ever learned in Social Studies classes in my whole life, every Louis encountered has been a "Lou-ee".
I'm going to assume that if you're like, American(or Anglophone Canadian mostly), its "Lou-iss", and if you're anything else, its "Lou-ee".

Louis pronounced "lou-ee" would be the french way of saying it.

I know a completely anglophone Louis who pronounces his full name "Lou-ee"

Yeah. A French person named "Louis" is pronounced "Lou-ee" (like the various french kings).

However, since we're talking about an English speaking comedian's name, Louis would be pronounced "Lou-iss". But his name is Louie, so it's moot.

Then he is (perhaps unintentionally) deriving his pronunciation from the French name.

I see.
