That's too bad. I loved his loud playfulness.

Yeah, more killer news. God he was one of the best guests on the Howard Stern show! Dude some of the funniest stuff ever!

I was sorry to hear that news yesterday of his passing.

Search You Tube for a selection of his stand up bits. This morning I listened to & laughed at bits about:

Canadians and maple syrup (go to 1:24)

Dinner with Charles Manson, and dating Julia Roberts (go to 1:30)

The Aristocrats joke (content warning, you might want to use headphones)

I'm pretty sure there are many more.

It used to be I couldn't stand his shtick. It seemed like he disappeared for a bit. When I became aware of him again, perhaps my taste had changed; I really began to appreciate him.
Sad news.

Very sad. Friend told me yesterday. He can get annoying with the voice, but his humor was always good. Very funny guy. RIP Gilbert.

Remember him from his appearances on the Letterman show in the 1980s. He was unique in that era with alot of competition from Seinfeld, Kinison, and Dice Clay...many others...RIP

I just read about this bit from the Hollywood Squares. He had everyone in stitches.

Aw man. All the famous people I grew up with are dying! Sheesh.

Gilbert did an episode of AVGN not too long ago.

His Grocho Marx on Stern was classic. Saw him once in Greenwich Village in NYC in the 90s getting a haircut. Rest Gilbert.

NY Times article.

Only Gilbert Gottfried Could Be So Dirty and So Heartbreaking (Published 2022)

He turned shocking jokes and “Howard Stern” appearances into something of an art form, one he practiced even when the occasion was a school fund-raiser.

Sad news.

Same here, at first I wanted to smash a pie in his face. As time went on I came to appreciate what he bought to the table. Dude really was good at what he did. His presentation was unique and different. May he RIP.

I like his farmer joke during the Roseanne Barr roast:

RIP Gilbert
