Damn it. Now my dream of hearing a duet of Gottfried and Goldthwait singing “Ave Maria” will never come to pass. ---

Let the tasteless jokes about his decaying corpse begin! Gilbert was adamant that people “go there” when he dies and try to think of the most inappropriate jokes they could. Be sad, comedians, but let 'em rip! RIP Glibert. What a guy. ---

It’s funny, the post about Nehemiah Persoff made me think of Gilbert Gottfried. Gilbert had a great podcast where they mostly talked about old movies and TV shows. He tried to get as many old actors on as he could. I’m pretty sure he had Persoff on. He certainly mentioned him a lot. ---
