About Gilbert Gottfried
Gilbert Jeremy Gottfried (February 28, 1955 - April 12, 2022) was an American stand-up comedian and actor, best known for his exaggerated shrill voice, strong New York dialect, and edgy, often controversial sense of humor. Born in the Coney Island section of Brooklyn, he performed his first comedy routine on stage at the Bitter End in Greenwich Village when he was 15. In 1980, the producers of Saturday Night Live hired him as a cast member for its sixth season. His numerous film and television roles included voicing Iago in Disney's Aladdin franchise, Digit in Cyberchase, Mister Mxyzptlk in Superman: The Animated Series, and the Aflac duck mascot, and he played Mr. Peabody in the Problem Child franchise. Gottfried hosted Gilbert Gottfried's Amazing Colossal Podcast from 2014 until his death, and the documentary Gilbert (2017) explored his life and career.
