Gilbert Gottfried | Gone But Not Forgotten | Tribute To The Legendary Comedian

Gilbert Gottfried, the legendary stand-up comic and sometimes
actor, best known for his squawky voice, not to mention his raw and
crude jokes, has passed away at the age of 67. Now let’s be honest,
a whole bunch of us probably remember Gilbert best for providing
the voice to Iago the parrot in the Disney classic, “Aladdin” – but
much like his recently deceased friend, Bob Saget, Gilbert was at
his best when making people uncomfortable with his comedy. His film
and television projects might have been family-friendly for the
most part, but his stand-up knew no bounds and over the course of
his life it would get him into trouble constantly. Did you know
that he once damn near got canceled for making a joke about 9/11
only two weeks after it happened? If you know what he said, drop
the punchline in the comments below. Everyone else, stay tuned as
we reflect on the life of one of Hollywood’s bravest comedians –
something that is now literally a dying breed – on this episode of
Before They Were Gone.
