Gilbert Gottfried was my neighbor's brother. You wouldn't believe how shy he was, like an entirely different person than you'd imagine. But he was the absolute best brother and uncle, babysitting and doing laundry for them while his sister was at work teaching full-time. I was so out of the loop, I didn't even know he was a celebrity. And unless you were familiar with his work, you wouldn't know it either. That's how humble and unassuming he was. I'm sure he will be greatly missed.
He was incredibly shy. That is why he squinted his eyes and did that voice when he did his comedy.
He will be. Grew up laughing with him. Godspeed Gilbert.
Thank you for sharing *
Such a sweet comment. Thx
Saw him walking in front of NYU Med Center one day when I worked there around 1989. He was muttering some lines like a neurotic comic guy. Oh that's right, he was one.
I remember once Bill Maher was asked which comic he thought deserved more renown than he got and Maher responded Gilbert Gottfried.
I think that literally everyone knowing who he was would equate to renoun.
Wow Cool info
There's something George Carlin said in a Charlie Rose interview. " My job is to go up to that line, cross it, take you with me and make you happy that you did. Gilbert was funny as hell.
I Remember Obama Drew a line and Dam They crossed it ....
Fewer and fewer of those guys unfortunately
I remember when Trump tried to overthrow the United States government.
Once saw Gilbert as a presenter at an awards show(Grammys or Tony’s) partnered with Carol Channing!
He stopped midway, turned to her and said “You talk funny !”
That’s hysterical
He was absolutely brilliant at comedy and very quick-witted.
@@theedgeofoblivious he was incredible at improv but lacked the focus to actually write jokes.this makes him so much more impressive to me
Tonys* (plural, no apostrophe, same as Grammys)
Gilbert Gottfried passed away? Now I'm sad. 😔 He was onstage at The Comic Strip New York all the time when I worked there as a server in the late 1980s. A gentle, shy, and extremely funny man. RIP.
I could easily sit back for a couple hours and listen to these two guys talk.
Thankfully that wasn't his real voice, lol. That voice is funny for about a minute, after that the novelty has diminishing returns.
I need a podcast
you. need you head checked
Two things people throughout history have had in common are hatred and humour. I am proud that I have been able to use humour to lessen people's hatred.

👏🏼🙌🏼💗Thanks so much for that!!🔥💗✌🏼
Great quote. Ty for sharing ❤️
He also used cocaine to fuel his hatred of other people.
@Rachel Carson -
That’s true; he does carry that torch…. Well; actually runs with it.
Easy, easy; that’s a joke!
Beautiful quote.
America is great because of Comedians, and that’s very true.
But not all Comedian's are American... I wouldn't even say a majority... Does that mean that every country that has Comedians is great?
Overly reductive thought, but sure, we get the sentiment
@@DiustheZ I must say Trump, an American, is the best comedian so far.
@@DiustheZ Comedians* (plural, no apostrophe)
Gilbert is one of my favorite comics of all time - I got to work with him once this year one of the greatest joys of my life.
You did great honoring the memory of Gilbert Gottfried. I think he would have wanted you to do it exactly the way you did.
I dont even want to be ''religious'. I do believe Gilbert caught this show!
Every time i here Gilbert Gottfried's name, i instantly hear his funny voice. Gold!
Rest in Peace 😔
Much ❤️ from Austria 🇦🇹
R.i.p but man i gotta disagree with you his voice to me was the most annoying in the world 2nd to Kathy Griffin...
Not his real voice.
Just an awesome act.
@@thesanders5822 that's okay. Different human beings have different taste!
Have a great one, nontheless, okay?
Stay safe and healthy ❤️
@@nickelpickel3924 i really like it, tho!
Hi from Austria 🇦🇹
@@therealdachshunddjangosmom I like that he's always been in character for all these years.
Bill's glasses look like Barry's from Storage Wars.
Bill Rules!
The look on his face when he was gonna take one for the other team......CLASSIC!
I love the truth like a warm blanket. Bill lays one over you whenever he speaks.
The zombie comedian who dovetails as an agitating political lobbyist. It's a mistake to give credibility to Shapiro & Co by thinking that personality profile wants to engage.
Lol. Bill Maher is mostly strawman arguments and hyperbole. If you don’t already know this from his show and take him seriously, you’re an idiot. He’s right about 50% of the time. The other 50% he’s exaggerating about anyone more Left or Right than his pretentious self.
Wow,what a great way to say it
Except when he doesn't.
That's not "truth," it's 30 year old recycled "jokes" and hot takes that show how little he knows about the truth.
Was devastated to learn about Gilbert's passing--truly one of the most original, absolutely hilarious guys in comedy..so thanks Bill/Jimmy for the shout out to him..always felt like he never got his dues. Oh...and ps.."their name WAS The Aristocrats..." rip Gibert
NevadaBoss I posted his passing on Snapchat the next day
Comedians that are as free with their humor as my friends and I were on our walks home through the woods during 3rd grade are what I picture. No topic was off limits to us then and we would laugh ourselves sick.
Bill’s right on about Gilbert not knowing now that he’s dead, but I’m sure he knew who his friends were in life
I didn't know Gilbert died. His roasts were always guaranteed to have me in tears from laughter. He could weave a bizarre tale and bring it right back around to absurdity like no one else. RIP.
I remember Ro-zilla.
And he did a great one for Joan Rivers too.
@@jasonnacci4091 And Bob Saget
Gilbert and Norm Macdonald were comedians for comedians. They were very elusive when it came to letting people to know the men behind the shows, according to many who were acquainted with them.
I understand that it was much the same with Phil Hartman. I miss him, especially 'The Anal Retentive Chef'. And never forget Chris Farley and John Belushi.
They say he was in character right until his death.
Louie Anderson 😢
Bob Saget as well. Been an awful year for comedians
@@jennifermccracken9842 Phils death was so messed up and even to this day Adam Sandler performs and does a tribute to Chris Farley every single time. Belushi was so funny. Oh wow this makes me sad
I recorded an album with Gilbert this year one of the great joys of my life . Such a prince . Absolutely flawless. We are still mixing but I posted a small preview. He is absolutely genius. Such an enormous loss 🙈
Sad to hear Gilbert passed. He was great! He always had that cheeky look as he performed...probably the most unique voice.
Gottfried's telling of the Aristocrats joke made me laugh so hard, he was fearless.
I want to Hear it, k?! I musta been chasing toddlers around or somethin' to have missed so much of his bawdy work!
@@maesimmons3564 I's been a while since I've seen it but there's a a documentary about the joke with many comedians giving their version. Sorry, I can't recall the title of the doc.
@@geneobrien8907 Ohh yeah, I think I may have seen that once upon a time! Thanks 👍 for your reply 🙂
@@geneobrien8907 It's "The Aristocrats."
Bill is the Best! Can't believe Gilbert passed but that's life!
Another thing about Gottfried. Although you can't criticize people for apologizing to keep from getting canceled, Gottfried wouldn't do it. He just doubled down.
Times have changed. Now we have sane comedians and lunatic politicians like MTG.
That's not a change
Well said 🤟🏽
Well that depends on whether the "comedian" talks about their vaginar all day and claims that women are beautiful and healthy at ANY size.
Irony is MTG reporting jimmy to the police for exercising his free speech
Times havent changed that much. Our politicians have always been crazy...
I don't always agree with Bill's individual takes, but I always agree with his basic philosophy. That if we can't talk to each other about the issues, face to face, like adults... we're doomed.
Maybe so, but there is a level of insanity that you simply cannot talk to or reason with. The Trumpies exemplify that insanity perfectly and they may succeed in destroying our democracy.
lol
Exactly my thoughts. I have said the same often.
Japan is doomed then. It's a culture where you can't talk about ANY issues.
The irony of Bill saying that when Bill is so full of hyperbole and strawman arguments all the time.
Gilbert was an incredibly private guy who assumed his public comedy persona to allow himself be public and could get away with it due to his being harmless and charming.
Gilbert Godfried was the Bernie Sanders of comedy. Frugal, private, and said things totally worth talking about, and sometimes giggled about, even when you didnt want to hear it.
RIP Gilbert you cheap bastard❤😊
"King of too soon." Great way to honor Gilbert Gottfried, Bill.
Bill Maher and Jimmy Kimmel are two of my must see TV show personalities.... religiously!!!
oh lord
Me too!! 😀
Maher yes … Jimmy NO
You must be the blandness person on earth
@@johnnino2755 Jimmy is the only funny one between to two. Why do you hate comedy?
Laughing helps us heal. When I’m feeling low all I have to do is watch a comedy or a comedian and I feel so much better after. Dave Chappell is my favorite
I like carlin
I’ve always liked Bill. I don’t always agree with his politics but he’s a no bullshit common sense kind of guy.
so what you're saying is trumplican politics makes no sense because it's based on bigoted points of view. Gotcha.
Same here
He's the opposite of what you say, ALL BULLSHIT ALL THE TIME.
A lot of people hate him because he thinks for himself
@@Stranger_In_The_Alps You mean spouts Libertardian rhetoric and talking points?
Love Bill. And, sometimes, can’t stand him. That’s love.
It feels like Bill Maher is doing eulogies now.
We're losing a lot of comedians lately.
RIP Gilbert Gottfried
This is so 😭 Gilbert Gottfried was had a unique schtick that every Jewish person with a whiny uncle has heard in their family 😊R.I.P. Gilbert
I wish Maher was gone and Gottfried was here.
@@titusmccarthy I like Bill Maher but more and more he’s starting to sound like a cranky old person
@Salem Exactly, like a old conservative actually..
@@titusmccarthy What an awful thing to say!!
Rip Gilbert!
Between the losses of Norm, Bob, Betty, Louie.. and now Gilbert... you know this year's roast of God is gonna be epic!
Greg Giraldo is up there too. Yikes!
Which Louie?
@@mermaiddiyartist8119 Anderson (not CK).
And Meatloaf
Wait. Didn't we lose Shatner too?
Gilbert deserved more time on TV and movies.
He really didn't though. If it wasn't for him doing that annoying voice he would have mostly been reduced to voice overs. I'm sad he's gone. But fake love is the worse love. Nobody was rushing home or rushing out to theaters to see Gilbert Godfrey.
@@elijaharvinger1178 dude hell yeah i love the "fake love is the worse love" way to keep it real. R.I.P but dude was not funny at all bro
@@thesanders5822 a particular type of humor, lets be honest, not meant for mainstream consumption... i thought he was funny, but in small doses.
@@elijaharvinger1178 firstly it's Gilbert Gottfried and secondly I and many others loved his crazy fake voice and yes I would have watched a movie just to see Gilbert in it. Just because you have all the humour of a cancerous tumor that doesn't mean everyone else does too
I wanted Gilbert Gottfried to voice a gargoyle in the live action version of The Hunchback of Notre Dame. However due to his death, that's never going to happen. Maybe no future filmmaker asked for him. Not even Josh Gad.
Gilbert Gottfried was one of the greats. Up there with Don Rickles.
RIP Gilbert, now you & Robin can do Aladin skits in heaven, that was my favorite, thanks for the joy & laughter. Bill you're great at telling it like it is, don't change.
Bill might have joked, "If he didn't want to go to Hawaii he could have just said so."
@Mark H 😂 Alternative: Bill saying to GG, “If you didn’t want to spend 4 days with me in Hawaii, ya could-a just said so.”
Sucks that Gilbert Gottfried is gone. His voice really sounds funny.
You really need to look up him reading 50 Shades of Grey
he was funny yes but the voice also quite abrasive...I liked Kennison better
That’s all you take away from Gilbert is that his voice sounded really funny? I feel sorry for your lack of intellect
@@phriedokra6158 Kinison?
Hunter Diane he's been gone for years and finally has died.
Love Bill Maher. What a legend.
Lmao. He ain’t a legend at all. He’s a hyperbolic, self-important, strawman-making pretentious guy.
George Carlin was the legend in this sector of comedy.
@@blackout07blue he gets a lot right. He's the only one who will talk to the incels like the babies they are
@@blackout07blue actually, Maher is and will be one of the great political comedians ever. The fact that he pisses you off that much proves my point succinctly. 👍
Whenever the internet would ask..
"If a documentary was made about your life, who would you want to narrate it?"
Most people gave the typical answers from Fishburne, Jackson or Freeman.
My answer would always be Gilbert Gottfried, because my life was mostly an absurd joke or observation that went on too long. I miss you man.
Sam Elliott.
Watching Bill high, on Club Random, is the highlight of my day. Love his work.
Did you mean when you're high, or when Bill is? Or both?! Lol I dig his "clove cigarettes" too!
@@davidbryden7904 the answer to both is yes. Ah, pardon me but its wake n bake time
@@davidbryden7904 Yes. The old clove cig thing. I love it.
The only guy who roasts the crazy on both sides. Respect.
Lol. He’s literally full of strawman arguments and hyperbole, assuming you know what those are.
@@blackout07blue He's a Libertardian that doesn't understand either side.
Maher is decidedly harder on the left nowadays. And he echos alot of right wing talking points.
And then he gives a platform to the crazy on the right.
@@titusmccarthy Actually he understands both sides, and well.
Love this interview, thanks Jimmy and team.
“Good afternoon. At the tone, the time will be…” REAL~TIME. Maher FTW. Band intro + RT theme reinterpretation = dope AF.
Dude, I live overseas and unexpectedly dropped in is the news about Gilbert Gottfried. Bumming me out. I hadn't heard until now... 🙁😢
Bill is a CLASSIC and Kathy Griffin !!
Bill Maher is Relevant!
Bill Maher’s stylist is genius. He looks chic and it gets better every week. Those glasses are great on him.
I always enjoyed seeing Gilbert on the talk show
circuit and on Norm McDonald’s TH-cam channel, I’m Not Norm. He had no filter and a big hearty laugh. Another great one is gone too soon. I’ll miss him.
Bill is the best.
Gottfried- Unique voice and talent,RIP Sir
There was an old man just like him. If you ever watch Wings back in the 90’s
RIP. Gilbert. ❤️
RIP Gilbert Godfrey! I saw him do his stand-up once... super funny guy!
How can you read the title and see all the other comments and still spell his name wrong?
Wasn't reading just listening... the inner web always has a dig waiting... wasn't intentional
"End the war on jokes." - agreed.
If it were the 19th century, the Wokerati would be bragging about their first transgender slaveowner
@@janelliot5643 Jimmy Dore joke 🤔
‘We need crazy on that wall”. Only kings had jesters, we the people are pushing it. Go Bill.
the jesters kept the kings grounded and inforned. rasputin needs a jester. trøn.... would have fired him.
raaput off with his head - and both rasput and trøn go insane-toxic
@Kathryn Elizabeth Please take the Bill.
Never forget Bill and Bill both lifting off to another planet, all the while having interesting discourse and amusement..live and live and long you can,prosper if it’s possible..thanks for the laughter.
Before you relight that J, edit this.
@@Albino_Scout bill Maher. And Shatner....he was the first guest on club random....and BM had a j during the interview?🤔🤔😺🌹💖
Hey! You stole my name lol!!!
Bill and Bill? live and live?
If it wasn't for TH-cam we'd never see half of the people we grow up watching..
Bob Saget, Louie Anderson, Gilbert Gotfried, George Carlin, Sam Kinison, Rodney Dangerfield, and a host of others gone to soon. At least this way we can keep their alive and still enjoy their jokes, voices, etc...
And never forget Norm
Don Rickles too
See what I mean.... the list of legends we've lost are kept alive by TH-cam..... We can visit any one of the mentioned people and there they are for us to enjoy. Without a platform such as this, those people and their genius would be gone forever..
@@mikeking3507 Sean Locke is a UK comedian that’s most definitely worth looking into. He passed young of cancer a last year just like norm barely two weeks prior. UK legend.
@@CoachTC23 that's horrible....I'll have to look him up. thank you.
😀😃🙂
Gilbert Gottfried, the funniest, honest, and original comedian ever. RIP
Don Rickles was one of Gilbert's favorite comedians as well as Richard Prior and George Carlin. Why, because they were honest outrageous comedians.
RIP Gilbert, you will be missed. God bless your family and friends and many, many fans at this heartbreaking time.
Great and funny interview Jimmy.
Gilbert's original thing was doing impressions, and he was spot on. Funny guy.
Bill Maher is that uncle, you're trying to pinch a cigarette off, while you're underage.....
And while you're smoking that cigarette, he pours his wisdom on you, which makes you want to be an athlete! 😄
What the fook you talking about..
@Kathryn Elizabeth If you think that, you are not listening...regularly.
@Kathryn Elizabeth To you, maybe.
In the old Howard Stern clips, you can hear Gilbert’s real voice.
He had a different voice?
@@Washougalite1 The Gilbert that most people know was his act. His actual speaking voice was different.
@@toneriggz
His stage voice was like fingernails on a chalkboard to me. Don't get me wrong, I thought he was brilliant, but that voice. I'm surprised Stuttering John didn't say anything about that. I was on his live feed when he found out. They were close and I felt so bad for him 😢
has he ever formally adressed why he would put on the voice we know him as? I cant imagine keeping that act up for as much as he does. The only clips we have of him that I even know of are always from stern, nowhere else.
Even he needed a break from the sound of it. 🤣
wow cool........Bill's new special comes out on my bday!!
its like an unexpcted gift!
thx BILL!
BIG FAN here from south america!
saluud!°
That a sad life
These celebrities are our modern day gladiators a distraction from the horrors going on.
bread and circuses
@@thomasel9171 .. and pay no attention to what u see behind the curtain ..
Most celebs are perpetuating the horrors going on.
Bill and Jimmy are modern day hypocrites.
Can't wait to get Bills random invite to Club Random.
Kimmel has been on for 20 years?! Damn, I feel so old.
From the first time I heard his loud crazy voice screaming at everybody with a big smile on his face I knew I loved him.
Love bill maher
Gottfried is in the Pantheon of gutsiest comedians! Name a few more..
Norm MacDonald?
George Carlin?
Lenny Bruce?
John Cleese?
Bill Hicks?
Love Bill
5:10
He's about to cry, but that memory was so funny he laughed over it.
Him crying is not a rare thing, he was neutered years ago
Only a few stand ups made me laugh the way Gilbert did. One of the greats. RIP.
I can't believe Jimmy's been on 20 years. Damn! Where does time go?
Indeed,never thought he would be able to last two years , 🤣
Thank you boys! I miss Gilbert!
Bill Maher thank you
Wow! Adulting is a gerund! I'm a linguist, and haven't heard that word used in everyday speech in a long time!
I don't have HBO, ,but I watch Bill on TH-cam. Not the same , but not bad 😉
That worked well, I'm now instantly doing a youtube search on Bill's club random, thank you :)
Gilbert, Bob Saget, and Norm; within months of each other. It's just too much.
I 1st remember Gilbert from Up All Night. What a crass loud mouth! Lol. R.I.P. bud!
Throw Louie Anderson on that list as well.
Rip Gilbert
The band sautéed the mess out of Bill’s opening theme song. The band needs to release that
A gerund? Jimmy I am so proud of you! You were right. Good educationing.
Jimmy I like your podcast so much that I hit the subscribe button three times!
@7:00 We all have had a _hate/love,_ not _love/hate,_ relationship with our comedians since _way before_ *Lenny Bruce.*
The role of every court jester since before *Babylon* was to be the voice of every person who couldn't speak back to the _undeserving _*_potentate_* about what a [expletive deleted]ing *_jerk_* he was being.
Thank You *Gilbert.* May you _not_ be forgotten.
❤️ Love that throwback to *Politically Incorrect* 🐘🐴
Two of the greatest!
Bill the Kid. Straight shooter. love your show man. You guys are good together.🤗🤔🤕😷🍿🤣👋😅✌️
Bill Maher is my favorite left winger....he is funny and he actually has some common sense. Prayers for Gilbert's family and friends. RIP Gilbert!
Bill Maher has never been Left. He's a Libertarian, which is just a weed smoking republican.
He isn't left-wing in the slightest though. I think you're confused.
Both of these guys are a treasure to our Nation! keep on spreading the Truth & making us laugh even when we shouldn't.
You sweet lads spark joy!!!
Love this interview!
So sad to hear about Gilberts passing. Prayers for family and friends.
Gilbert left us time less of hrs of funny movies, thanks Gilbert. We will watch every one over and over.
Viewtiful Bill Lamar couldn't have said it better myself that is why we love them!
Bill looks great!
Gilbert Godfrey was a funny man rip
How can you read the title and all the comments and still spell his name wrong?
Real time with JIMMY KIMMEL x Bill Maher
