Seemed like a decent enough guy and I have no idea of his politics, which is all I ask of “entertainers.”

Lots of comedians dropping dead lately.

Better than all of the late-night “comedy” show hosts. They’re about as funny as colon cancer.

That’s 👌. This is a real shame about his passing. A very funny man.

Roasting is hazardous to your health, apparently.

Still, Gilbert’s rendition of the “Aristocrats” was the funniest I ever heard.

Rest In Peace.

Funny, funny, strange guy.

Did cancel culture start when he lost his AFLAC duck ads for a tsunami joke?

WHen he was doing the voice over for those AFLAK commericials, I was hoping somebody would strangle that Goose.
Such an annoying (though distinctive) voice.

Everyone forgets Louie Anderson for some reason.

Old school 80s comics dying off. Somewhere Bobcat Goldthwait is sweating...

Many years ago I heard him on the Howard Stern Show on the radio, and he said some very nasty things about the Virgin Mary. I have despised him ever since.

The Amazing Johnathan, Louie Anderson, and Bob Saget went on ahead, Rest easy Gilbert Gottfried.

I saw his standup show at Pheasant Run in St. Charles, IL back in 1999. Very funny guy.
