Gilbert Gottfried, a fan favorite stand up comedian and actor, has sadly passed away at the age of 67.
“We are heartbroken to announce the passing of our beloved Gilbert Gottfried after a long illness. In addition to being the most iconic voice in comedy, Gilbert was a wonderful husband, brother, friend and father to his two young children. Although today is a sad day for all of us, please keep laughing as loud as possible in Gilbert’s honor,” his family wrote on Twitter.
Gilbert was known for his roles in the animated Aladdin movie, where he voiced Iago, as well as many other popular movies and TV shows like Problem Child, Family Guy, Last Week Tonight with John Oliver and more.
“Regarding, you know, how I left the show, I just want to say I never, ever, ever, ever intended to make anyone feel uncomfortable — ever. It’s just not who I am…we loved each other. We were irreverent. We were honest. We were vulnerable. We had stories that were very, very personal. We trusted one another. It was a set like no other,” he said.
“Of course, there were instances where my interaction with these lovely people could have been mistaken way other, way other than how I intended, and I have profoundly apologized, and I apologize now if I made anyone, anyone feel vulnerable, and I’m sorry it ended the way it did.”
“I’m so proud of playing Maura and part of the LGBT community, and getting that important message out. It’s a highlight of my life, and I just can’t let the day go, and I can’t leave this studio, without saying something,” he added.
Olivia Munn and Ellie Kemper arrive for the Night of Too Many Stars event at The Theater at Madison Square Garden on Saturday (November 18) in New York City.
The event is held every year and aired on HBO to unite America to raise money for autism programs.
The 43-year-old rapper appears alongside comedian Gilbert Gottfried as he tries to help him tackle the super serious symptoms of being hangry (hungry + angry).
“Know the signs. Uncontrollable yelling. Hallucinations. Pants discomfort. Hangry. It can happen to anyone,” Snoop says.
The food-ordering app apparently “tells hunger to shut up.” Watch the complete commercial below!
