This is a beautiful tribute. I actually forgot it was created by a high schooler about halfway through. It really felt like a legit big money documentary. Well done, Lily!
Thank you!
This was so good. Lily, I loved your Dad and he would be so proud. I lost my dad when I was young, and it's tough. But look at what you can do! Amazing! Much love to you and brother and mom

Just when you thought it wasn’t possible to miss Gilbert more, here comes this wonderful, insightful and quietly moving documentary! Not just a testament to Gilbert’s incredible artistic talent, but also to his effectiveness as a father…to have been so loving that he would inspire this heartfelt film from his daughter speaks volumes about him as a human being. Most of us only got to see one side of Gilbert, the take-no-prisoners, deliriously unapologetic dirty joke spewing stand up. Now we have a small insight into another side of him, and I will be forever grateful to Lily for sharing it with us. Gilbert was such a gift to us all, and I know he will continue to be long after we’re gone. Thank you Lily!
Perfectly said.
I have nothing to add that hasn't already been said multiple times, but:
- This was an incredibly well made short film, and I will definitely be keeping an eye out for whatever Lily Gottfried does next.
- I miss Gilbert so much, this film brought tears to my eyes.
Excellent work Lilly, your dad is very much missed.
I grew up loving Gilbert. The stand up , movies in the 80s , USA up all night in the 90s ect.
You did a great job honoring your Dad young lady. I know he’s proud as hell of you.
I Miss You 😘 Gilbert Gottfried
To the lovely Lily…
Your Father meant so much to all of us. You did a wonderful job showing us a side of him we never would have known. Thank you so much. We love you
I love that teacher who actually saw his talents and encouraged it! My dream was to be a cartoonist and in 8th grade My art teacher said I wasn’t good enough to be in her class, I stopped drawing after that. If a kid shows an interest in something you should always support it! Love this, Gilbert is so missed! ❤
It's so important to realize the impact a good teacher can have. I had a few that basically formed the course of my life. For all the teachers that have, or continue to, just write "doesn't apply himself", do is all a favor and find a different line of work. We don't need more people that just point out problems.
This is such a warm way to honor your father; you’re adding to the legacy of a man many loved.
What a tribute. Thank you, Lily, for sharing this wonderful film about your iconic dad. I am an even bigger fan now.
Gilbert was a unique talent and he is missed by millions.
Heard your great interview this morning on Jim & Sam and immediately came home to watch your documentary. Fantastic work Lily. I never knew he was an artist. Thanks for sharing.
Oh what an amazing treat! I had no idea
Please Lilly. If you guys are in any position to sell copies of his art, I and many others would love to have this in our homes.
Heard Lily on the radio this morning. So impressive. She has a bright future ahead of her. Beautiful film. Great job!
Seeing Gilbert give zero f***s about anything (especially on the Howard Stern show, there are a lot of episodes on youtube) actually has a great effect on people with depression, including myself. He has cheered me up dozens of times. The drawings look interesting, I'm happy to have discovered them.
Thank you, Lily. We loved your dad, and we know you did too. You put together a lovely film about his "hidden talent.'
Beautifully done, Lily!! ❤ When art bares a soul, it’s a triumph!! And for my money, no one articulates Gilbert’s extraordinary gifts like Penn J!! 👏🏼
Great work, Lily. Your father is dearly missed. He was a special man, with a special talent. To this day, he never fails to make me laugh hysterically.
And it was almost as easy to make HIM laugh hysterically. Listening to his podcast with Frank, 40% of it is Gilbert collapsing in laughter.
Gilbert was a great entertainer. I was heartbroken when I heard he passed. I am so grateful to his family for sharing him with the world. He is greatly missed.
We met Gilbert after one of his shows at the Laff Stop in Houston. We were enlightened to see such a gentle soul. He was very kind, respectful, and very grateful. What a joy of a man.
Heard you on Jim and Sam, came straight here after the interview (and subscribed). The written school comments from his teachers was a PERFECT opening - well done!
Love his talent. He was my childhood ❤️ can't help but feel like he and Robin Williams are loving the afterlife together, spreading all of the joy they gave us here on earth there.
Lily your dad would be so proud. He was a true genius fantastic job
Beautiful tribute to one of my all time favorite Comedians. Rest in peace Gilbert.
Pretty cool to see this side of Gilbert - Thanks Lily, seeing what a great daughter Gilbert raised warms my heart
Miss him so much stay strong lovely lady
Wow, well done Lily! I am sure the big smile on your Dad’s face up above is only matched by the infinite pride he has for his daughter. 👏🎥🙏😁
Congratulations Lily! You’ve got a BRIGHT future ahead of you! Stay away from drugs and toxic relationships!
Thank you Lily! So well done! Your father was such an incredible performer and artist. I'm sure he's yelling in character at someone right now saying "Look! Look what my little girl did! Isn't she amazing!?"
Charming & touching. What a wonderful daughter.
Gilbert Gottfried forever
Your Dad was just amazing. We worked some horrible jobs in NY and when he sat in on Sterns show it was the highlight of the week! He'd have us laughing so hard we couldn't even do our work. I'm so sorry you lost him...gone way too soon😢❤
One of the highlights of my life was talking to Gilbert on the phone on the radio show call in. I still brag about it to this day. I felt as though I had shared a moment with an icon. In fact I did.
As much as fans miss him, the loss to his family is unparalleled. RIP.
Gilbert will never be forgotten.
Lily congrats on this - what a wonderful record. Your dad was special, as you've clearly figured out.
Great work Lily! I was a loyal supporter of GGACP. From the podcast I knew Gilbert used to draw, as he mentioned it a few times, but I never realized how great he was. He could have drawn for MAD, definitely, but I'm glad he focused instead on his comedy.
Thank you for being a part of our podcast family
@@dgott24 And thank you Dara for the reply! I know you're very proud of your daughter, as you should be!
Gone too soon. Thank you for this Lily. I wish you and your family the best wishes. Thank you to your father for everything he gave to the world. Truly one of a kind. ❤
Incredible job, Lily. God Bless, Gilbert!
Beautiful just beautiful! Nice job Lily, we all miss your dad so much 😢
Incredible tribute to a legend, to a dad. Wonderful job, Lily 👏
Thanks for sharing your father with us. He made me laugh so hard it hurt . Bless his soul and your family .
Excellent job Lilly. I was a big fan of your father, thank-you for sharing this previously unknown side of your fathers already brilliant legacy.
I miss Gilbert almost every day. I can hear his iconic exaggerated voice reacting to anything. At this point it’s ingrained. He made the world better through this art and we are all better for it. Thank you Lily for this, you definitely are the spawn of one of the greats. Looking forward to anything else you craft next
Rest In Peace to the greatest comedian of my generation. Thank you for this wonderful tribute. Not a day goes by when he isn’t missed in my home; I can’t imagine your loss. His ridiculous Stern appearances, his roasts, he was really something special and there will never be anyone like him again.
Great film. Your dad was a genius, he made a lot of people happy.
I think anyone would be proud to have this loving tribute.
Thank you for making this documentary and sharing your father's hidden talent with the rest of us! Well done.
Lily, you honor your father well - he would be so proud of you. I would love to get own of his art characters tattooed as they not only look cool but has a sentimental meaning.
Lily Gottfried! What an amazing piece you have made of your dad! My condolences that he was taken from you too soon. Good on the art teacher and Gilbert's mom for getting him art classes! I do love his art. You could look for hours and days and still find something new. One of the best tributes to a performer I've seen.
Great job on Jim & Sam, Lily! Loved your film.
Thank you, Lily, your father is loved by all of us fans, Forever.
I didn't have a favourite artist... not until about half way through this documentary. It's a testament to Gilbert's sheer genius that he is also my favourite comedian of all time. Penn Jillette knocked the nail on the head. Gilbert was just a one-off.
Thank you so much, Lily, for this beautiful film about a beautiful human.
Amazing job. Gilbert is smiling down so proud. Miss him a lot!!!
Well done, Lily. This is another aspect of your dad's one-of-a-kind talents that made him so unique ... we all miss him so much.
Beautifully done, Lily.
Your dad.., there are no words to describe how much we all love him. He made us laugh so hard we cried. Then he’d make us be like “please stop!” before we reminded ourselves that its Gilbert.
Thank you for this.
Lily
Your dad would be proud of you! Like your dad, you have talent in directing and producing! Keep it up!
Thank you Lily. Your Dad along with Don Rickles were comics I never missed. He made me very happy every time. Not a small thing to accomplish.
Today I learned that Gilbert Gottfried filled the page with his drawings like he filled the stage - completely from edge to edge. Nicely done Lily !
Great job Lily... RIP Gilbert thanks for sharing your talents...
A lovely tribute to a great comedian...one of my favorite celebrities. Lily, you've done great work and are destined for greatness as your father was.
Kid, your dad may have been under appreciated but he was never hidden. He's a cornerstone of the media of my youth. Lucky you.
Your dad was truly beloved, Lily.
Very well done. A super job for a superstar. Will be missed forever but this will help people remember the great Gilbert. Thank you Lilly
Gilbert was my favorite comedian and I'm blown away by his cartoons! This is a beautiful tribute.
Fantastic job! Keep exploring your talent Lily.
Your dads humour was off the charts. His master
Of some
Many voices
And ability to use them at the right moment with his shock talk was unparalleled. I can’t tell you how many times I couldn’t stop laughing at the stuff he said. I think you have done a great thing with this
Thank you for this. Your father was wonderful.
So impressed by Lilly's first doc. Can't wait to see and support her future works. She's got "IT."
So beautiful. I could only dream I’m spending my life that my niece would love and think of my so highly to make a film about what I do with my passions.
My mind is blown, I've heard Gillie ocasionally mention his drawings on the podcast, but he never went into detail. These pieces are fantabulous! Even to this day I keep replaying episodes of GGACP, (listened to all episodes probably at least 10 times), and will continue until... Laughter keeps you young, keeps you sane, keeps you fit, keeps you connected to others, keeps you tolerant and most of all keeps you smiling. Which affects everyone around you, which then daisy chains to everyone downstream. Great job Lily, you have a promising future ahead of you. Great success will definitely come.
I still miss Gilbert!
Also heard Lily on the radio this morning. It was so unexpected and I loved it the surprise! All the best for her in life ❤ and I hope she keeps promoting this amazing and heart warning project about a truly 1 of a kind human being ❤ If the Internet was a fair place, this would have 1 million times more views!
Man made a great career with a 9th grade education. I am under the impression he was well liked in the profession. Having watched an interview with Lily and now watching the documentary I must say I more of a fan of the father he was.
I hope both children are doing well and go on to live the happy lives their father and mother worked so hard for.
I really enjoyed this! Thank you! Love from Canada.
This is absolutely amazing! Well done Lily! So beautiful!!!!!
Idk if you'll ever read this Lily, but I'm deeply sorry about you losing your dad. My dad also passed away recently, in 2021. I never knew your dad, but I grew up watching his movies and my own dad actually introduced me to his comedy. So, in a way I guess I feel like I knew him. Your dad was a great man, not because he was famous but because of how he treated those around him. Thanks for this amazing insight into his talents. I never would have known he was such an amazing artist.
Simple and Beautiful and for Gottfried's fans, one more memory to treasure
Fantastic.
Gilbert is still my fav comedian, his comedy got me through some hard times years ago.
He was amazing.
It's so nice to see more about his early life.
This is fantastic. Gilbert was equally loveable and fearless in his comedy and art. He did what he wanted to do, unashamed and still humble. RIP Gilbert.
Bravo, Lily! Thanks for revealing your dad’s amazing artistic skills!
Thank you, Lily, for sharing your father's wonderful other talent.
This is so beautiful… Lily… You created a tribute of magic.
The somewhere over the rainbow at the end almost made me cry. Always so sad to me when a comedian dies, and there's been a lot of great ones lately, it seems
That’s awesome. I grow up listening to Gilbert. My favorite of all time. When he would go on Howard. I knew I was in for a great show.
Lily this is awesome! Thank you. Back in the day there were very few of us that recognized the was a genius behind the character. I wonder why he didn't use some of the drawings for album or DVD covers? I think he mightve hid that because he thought it'd turn off some of the audience if they thought he was smarter than them. Norm MacDonald was the same, he was brilliant but acted less smart than he was
Lily, Ms. Gottfried, thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing this. I truly loved watching it. Good luck in all you do!
Dara here. I will share with Lily. THANK YOU! www.GilbertGottfried.com
One of my all time favorites. Watch Norm and Gilbert if you wanna die laughing.. Beautiful tribute Lily❤. Beatiful documentary.. Make it longer. You have a great future Lily congrats your talent is immense.
Lily,I was absolutely blown away by this film and your Dad's amazing colossal artwork. I think you have an extremely bright future, and to say that your Dad would be proud of you(he probably was already)would be a vast understatement. I hope this will give people a better understanding of him,and how genius comes in so many different ways. God Bless!
Nice documentary, Lily. It shows a side of Gilbert most of us never knew. Hard to believe it's been almost 2 years.
Your Fathers Spirit, Voice and Essence will live on forever. A beautiful video, please make more of these with more stories of the family♥️ These are worth their weight in gold.
Lily, you've got a talent for story-telling. Great work! What a way to honor your father.
It's hard for me to believe that there's people who don't get it. The guy was hysterical, had me rolling in the aisles.
Greetings from a retired businessman from Miami, retired on a pension in Colombia.
This was an awakening. I had no idea Gilbert was an artist, I love this work! Thank you, Lily!!

Damn I can’t stop the tears from coming watching this. Amazing doc. Thanks Lily
