Deepest sympathies to his family, friends, and fans.

He was truly funny.

We need more (clean and gentle) humor.

Genuine and kind laughter is really good for the soul. (That's why I like the reruns of "Friends" so much.)

Wow that sucks. I was just reading about him this morning wondering what he'd been up to.

Godfrey's best work was when he was slamming the crap out of someone.

I met him twice, I listened to nearly all 400 podcasts. Losing him was like losing a friend. A nice, well respected guy.

I'm 85.

What does "to catfish" mean?

Of course, the only time I saw him was on TV.

I assume he was a little naughty in comedy clubs.

He's the man who described Trump as "Like Hitler, but without the warmth!" RIP

Listen to the podcast, stories of Danny Thomas under the glass table, Ceasar Romero and the orange wedges...It's been a rough day.

Not sure clean and gentle describes him. (google gibert gottfried and the artistocrats to start with)

But he was a good man.....he will be missed.

I assume the second one was "The Aristocrats". Bob Saget gave a filthier version.

Rest in peace - two good humans with warped and amazing senses of humor.

We had an Aristocrats party a few weeks back, shocked some, amazed the rest. My DVD is signed by Gil.

I saw it in the theater when it came out. There was a warning - no refunds - clear warnings -
Half the theater walked out. The other half were laughing until they cried. I was in the latter group.
Gilbert Gottfried did not shock me.....he was funny as hell....I expected that. Bob Saget shocked the hell out of me.

And the mime???Good lord. Over the top.

Comedians one upping each other.....not for the faint of heart.
