    Gilbert deserves to be remembered as one of the greats not only because he was a comedic genius but because he had the balls to push boundaries, and often paid a price for it. Not many are willing to do that anymore. Rest well Gilbert and thanks for the laughs.

      I don't know if you saw the episodes of 'TIL DEATH where GG played the new neighbor of Brad Garrett and Joely Fisher, but he was in rare comedic form indeed. There were some bloopers and outtakes at the end of one episode, and you could tell that GG was cracking up Brad and Martin Mull with his off-the-wall zaniness. Comedy gold.

      yeah i remember when i found it i was looking for a roger corman interview and i couldn’t believe what i’d found it was like someone made a podcast perfectly tailored to my interest and it was one of my favourite entertainers. I never knew he could sing last of the triple threats.

      @@joshgable5680 One of the funniest was when he had Richard Benjamin on as a guest, and Gilbert sang the entire theme song to "Goodbye, Columbus". Not only was he an entertainer, but someone who loved the movies, television, and music of the 20th Century and was eager to share that enthusiasm with his audience.

      I found his podcast a few yrs ago. Joyous is the perfect word. I’m gonna have to look up the Richard Benjamin one where Gilbert sings Goodbye Columbus.

    Thought this performance was hilarious and scrolled down to read the comments only to learn that Mr Gottfried has passed away just a few hours ago. This is very sad news. So many of the great comedians, Norm, Louis Andersson, Bob Saget and now Gilbert, have all passed away in such a short time span. Thanks for all the laughs and for being such a unique performer Gilbert.
