Gilbert Gottfried was my neighbor's brother. You wouldn't believe how shy he was, like an entirely different person than you'd imagine. But he was the absolute best brother and uncle, babysitting and doing laundry for them while his sister was at work teaching full-time. I was so out of the loop, I didn't even know he was a celebrity. And unless you were familiar with his work, you wouldn't know it either. That's how humble and unassuming he was. I'm sure he will be greatly missed.
He was incredibly shy. That is why he squinted his eyes and did that voice when he did his comedy.
He will be. Grew up laughing with him. Godspeed Gilbert.
Thank you for sharing *
Such a sweet comment. Thx
Saw him walking in front of NYU Med Center one day when I worked there around 1989. He was muttering some lines like a neurotic comic guy. Oh that's right, he was one.
I could easily sit back for a couple hours and listen to these two guys talk.
Thankfully that wasn't his real voice, lol. That voice is funny for about a minute, after that the novelty has diminishing returns.
I need a podcast
you. need you head checked
Once saw Gilbert as a presenter at an awards show(Grammys or Tony’s) partnered with Carol Channing!
He stopped midway, turned to her and said “You talk funny !”
That’s hysterical
He was absolutely brilliant at comedy and very quick-witted.
@@theedgeofoblivious he was incredible at improv but lacked the focus to actually write jokes.this makes him so much more impressive to me
Tonys* (plural, no apostrophe, same as Grammys)
Comedians that are as free with their humor as my friends and I were on our walks home through the woods during 3rd grade are what I picture. No topic was off limits to us then and we would laugh ourselves sick.
Gilbert is one of my favorite comics of all time - I got to work with him once this year one of the greatest joys of my life.
Was devastated to learn about Gilbert's passing--truly one of the most original, absolutely hilarious guys in comedy..so thanks Bill/Jimmy for the shout out to him..always felt like he never got his dues. Oh...and ps.."their name WAS The Aristocrats..." rip Gibert
NevadaBoss I posted his passing on Snapchat the next day
You did great honoring the memory of Gilbert Gottfried. I think he would have wanted you to do it exactly the way you did.
I dont even want to be ''religious'. I do believe Gilbert caught this show!
Gilbert and Norm Macdonald were comedians for comedians. They were very elusive when it came to letting people to know the men behind the shows, according to many who were acquainted with them.
I understand that it was much the same with Phil Hartman. I miss him, especially 'The Anal Retentive Chef'. And never forget Chris Farley and John Belushi.
They say he was in character right until his death.
Louie Anderson 😢
Bob Saget as well. Been an awful year for comedians
@@jennifermccracken9842 Phils death was so messed up and even to this day Adam Sandler performs and does a tribute to Chris Farley every single time. Belushi was so funny. Oh wow this makes me sad
I don't always agree with Bill's individual takes, but I always agree with his basic philosophy. That if we can't talk to each other about the issues, face to face, like adults... we're doomed.
Maybe so, but there is a level of insanity that you simply cannot talk to or reason with. The Trumpies exemplify that insanity perfectly and they may succeed in destroying our democracy.
lol
Exactly my thoughts. I have said the same often.
Japan is doomed then. It's a culture where you can't talk about ANY issues.
The irony of Bill saying that when Bill is so full of hyperbole and strawman arguments all the time.
Sad to hear Gilbert passed. He was great! He always had that cheeky look as he performed...probably the most unique voice.
Bill’s right on about Gilbert not knowing now that he’s dead, but I’m sure he knew who his friends were in life
I recorded an album with Gilbert this year one of the great joys of my life . Such a prince . Absolutely flawless. We are still mixing but I posted a small preview. He is absolutely genius. Such an enormous loss 🙈
Gilbert was an incredibly private guy who assumed his public comedy persona to allow himself be public and could get away with it due to his being harmless and charming.
Another thing about Gottfried. Although you can't criticize people for apologizing to keep from getting canceled, Gottfried wouldn't do it. He just doubled down.
Every time i here Gilbert Gottfried's name, i instantly hear his funny voice. Gold!
Rest in Peace 😔
Much ❤️ from Austria 🇦🇹
R.i.p but man i gotta disagree with you his voice to me was the most annoying in the world 2nd to Kathy Griffin...
Not his real voice.
Just an awesome act.
@@thesanders5822 that's okay. Different human beings have different taste!
Have a great one, nontheless, okay?
Stay safe and healthy ❤️
@@nickelpickel3924 i really like it, tho!
Hi from Austria 🇦🇹
@@therealdachshunddjangosmom I like that he's always been in character for all these years.
There's something George Carlin said in a Charlie Rose interview. " My job is to go up to that line, cross it, take you with me and make you happy that you did. Gilbert was funny as hell.
I Remember Obama Drew a line and Dam They crossed it ....
Fewer and fewer of those guys unfortunately
I remember when Trump tried to overthrow the United States government.
Gilbert and Billy were both funny as hell!
Love this interview, thanks Jimmy and team.
Bill's glasses look like Barry's from Storage Wars.
Bill Rules!
I’ve always liked Bill. I don’t always agree with his politics but he’s a no bullshit common sense kind of guy.
so what you're saying is trumplican politics makes no sense because it's based on bigoted points of view. Gotcha.
Same here
He's the opposite of what you say, ALL BULLSHIT ALL THE TIME.
A lot of people hate him because he thinks for himself
@@Stranger_In_The_Alps You mean spouts Libertardian rhetoric and talking points?
Laughing helps us heal. When I’m feeling low all I have to do is watch a comedy or a comedian and I feel so much better after. Dave Chappell is my favorite
I like carlin
Bill Maher and Jimmy Kimmel are two of my must see TV show personalities.... religiously!!!
oh lord
Me too!! 😀
Maher yes … Jimmy NO
You must be the blandness person on earth
@@johnnino2755 Jimmy is the only funny one between to two. Why do you hate comedy?
Between the losses of Norm, Bob, Betty, Louie.. and now Gilbert... you know this year's roast of God is gonna be epic!
Greg Giraldo is up there too. Yikes!
Which Louie?
@@mermaiddiyartist8119 Anderson (not CK).
And Meatloaf
Wait. Didn't we lose Shatner too?
Bill might have joked, "If he didn't want to go to Hawaii he could have just said so."
@Mark H 😂 Alternative: Bill saying to GG, “If you didn’t want to spend 4 days with me in Hawaii, ya could-a just said so.”
Love Bill. And, sometimes, can’t stand him. That’s love.
Love Bill Maher. What a legend.
Lmao. He ain’t a legend at all. He’s a hyperbolic, self-important, strawman-making pretentious guy.
George Carlin was the legend in this sector of comedy.
@@blackout07blue he gets a lot right. He's the only one who will talk to the incels like the babies they are
@@blackout07blue actually, Maher is and will be one of the great political comedians ever. The fact that he pisses you off that much proves my point succinctly. 👍
"King of too soon." Great way to honor Gilbert Gottfried, Bill.
Gilbert Godfried was the Bernie Sanders of comedy. Frugal, private, and said things totally worth talking about, and sometimes giggled about, even when you didnt want to hear it.
RIP Gilbert you cheap bastard❤😊
These celebrities are our modern day gladiators a distraction from the horrors going on.
bread and circuses
@@thomasel9171 .. and pay no attention to what u see behind the curtain ..
Most celebs are perpetuating the horrors going on.
Bill and Jimmy are modern day hypocrites.
Whenever the internet would ask..
"If a documentary was made about your life, who would you want to narrate it?"
Most people gave the typical answers from Fishburne, Jackson or Freeman.
My answer would always be Gilbert Gottfried, because my life was mostly an absurd joke or observation that went on too long. I miss you man.
Sam Elliott.
RIP Gilbert, now you & Robin can do Aladin skits in heaven, that was my favorite, thanks for the joy & laughter. Bill you're great at telling it like it is, don't change.
Watching Bill high, on Club Random, is the highlight of my day. Love his work.
Did you mean when you're high, or when Bill is? Or both?! Lol I dig his "clove cigarettes" too!
@@davidbryden7904 the answer to both is yes. Ah, pardon me but its wake n bake time
@@davidbryden7904 Yes. The old clove cig thing. I love it.
Bill Maher is that uncle, you're trying to pinch a cigarette off, while you're underage.....
And while you're smoking that cigarette, he pours his wisdom on you, which makes you want to be an athlete! 😄
What the fook you talking about..
@Kathryn Elizabeth If you think that, you are not listening...regularly.
@Kathryn Elizabeth To you, maybe.
News is the first thing to be attacked by totalitarian wannabes…the next is comedy, because without fail, all the comedy shows nailed what was going on with a perfect sarcastic flair. Apparently it got MTG stirred up, and she definitely fits being a wannabe.
'I'd like to report a joke' Not bad, Jimmy!
If it wasn't for UA-cam we'd never see half of the people we grow up watching..
Bob Saget, Louie Anderson, Gilbert Gotfried, George Carlin, Sam Kinison, Rodney Dangerfield, and a host of others gone to soon. At least this way we can keep their alive and still enjoy their jokes, voices, etc...
And never forget Norm
Don Rickles too
See what I mean.... the list of legends we've lost are kept alive by UA-cam..... We can visit any one of the mentioned people and there they are for us to enjoy. Without a platform such as this, those people and their genius would be gone forever..
@@mikeking3507 Sean Locke is a UK comedian that’s most definitely worth looking into. He passed young of cancer a last year just like norm barely two weeks prior. UK legend.
@@CoachTC23 that's horrible....I'll have to look him up. thank you.
😀😃🙂
Love bill maher
‘We need crazy on that wall”. Only kings had jesters, we the people are pushing it. Go Bill.
the jesters kept the kings grounded and inforned. rasputin needs a jester. trøn.... would have fired him.
raaput off with his head - and both rasput and trøn go insane-toxic
@Kathryn Elizabeth Please take the Bill.
wow cool........Bill's new special comes out on my bday!!
its like an unexpcted gift!
thx BILL!
BIG FAN here from south america!
saluud!°
That a sad life
“Good afternoon. At the tone, the time will be…” REAL~TIME. Maher FTW. Band intro + RT theme reinterpretation = dope AF.
"End the war on jokes." - agreed.
If it were the 19th century, the Wokerati would be bragging about their first transgender slaveowner
@@janelliot5643 Jimmy Dore joke 🤔
I always enjoyed seeing Gilbert on the talk show
circuit and on Norm McDonald’s UA-cam channel, I’m Not Norm. He had no filter and a big hearty laugh. Another great one is gone too soon. I’ll miss him.
Gottfried- Unique voice and talent,RIP Sir
There was an old man just like him. If you ever watch Wings back in the 90’s
Bill Maher’s stylist is genius. He looks chic and it gets better every week. Those glasses are great on him.
Gilbert Gottfried, the funniest, honest, and original comedian ever. RIP
Don Rickles was one of Gilbert's favorite comedians as well as Richard Prior and George Carlin. Why, because they were honest outrageous comedians.
Bill is a CLASSIC and Kathy Griffin !!
RIP Gilbert Godfrey! I saw him do his stand-up once... super funny guy!
How can you read the title and see all the other comments and still spell his name wrong?
Wasn't reading just listening... the inner web always has a dig waiting... wasn't intentional
@7:00 We all have had a _hate/love,_ not _love/hate,_ relationship with our comedians since _way before_ *Lenny Bruce.*
The role of every court jester since before *Babylon* was to be the voice of every person who couldn't speak back to the _undeserving _*_potentate_* about what a [expletive deleted]ing *_jerk_* he was being.
Thank You *Gilbert.* May you _not_ be forgotten.
Bill Maher is Relevant!
Rip Gilbert
As a conservative, I respect Bill. I can't say the same about Kimnel
Because we care what you think.
5:10
He's about to cry, but that memory was so funny he laughed over it.
Him crying is not a rare thing, he was neutered years ago
I don't have HBO, ,but I watch Bill on UA-cam. Not the same , but not bad 😉
Gilbert's original thing was doing impressions, and he was spot on. Funny guy.
I can't believe Jimmy's been on 20 years. Damn! Where does time go?
Indeed,never thought he would be able to last two years , 🤣
Gilbert, Bob Saget, and Norm; within months of each other. It's just too much.
I 1st remember Gilbert from Up All Night. What a crass loud mouth! Lol. R.I.P. bud!
Throw Louie Anderson on that list as well.
Both of these guys are a treasure to our Nation! keep on spreading the Truth & making us laugh even when we shouldn't.
Gilbert Gottfried is dead. BUT HIS VOICE LIVES ON!
Now imagine that second bit, but yelled in Gilbert’s voice…
Love Bill
From the first time I heard his loud crazy voice screaming at everybody with a big smile on his face I knew I loved him.
Real time with JIMMY KIMMEL x Bill Maher
❤️ Love that throwback to *Politically Incorrect* 🐘🐴
I loved Gilbert Gottfried.
He was a chatterbox from what I have heard.
Wow! Adulting is a gerund! I'm a linguist, and haven't heard that word used in everyday speech in a long time!
Gilberrrt!!!!! 💕💕💕💕
So sad to hear about Gilberts passing. Prayers for family and friends.
Gilbert did a hilarious little "skit" for Bill Maher's show, making fun of how, for a time, probably the first couple years of Trump's administration, Bill (and almost everybody else in America,) had never heard Jared Kushner's voice.
"The guy never talks, nobody knows what he even sounds like!" lol "So, we here at Real Time have managed to get our hands on some super rare footage of a Jared Kushner interview;"
And, on a screen, Jared Kushner would be shown speaking except Gilbert Gottfried's voice was coming out of his mouth, it seriously caused me to spit my coffee out all over myself the first time I saw it, it was so shockingly hilarious.
(Edit; apparently I forgot it was Jon Oliver not Bill Maher!) 👼
Such a legend. 👍 😅
R.I.P. 🙏
(it hit a bit harder than usual when I'd heard he'd passed.)
Oh yea lol that's right! @Proper 👍
I am grateful for Gilbert and all comedy people.
I don't have to watch anything, if I am not in the mood.
My choice.
MY Mother always told me sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me.
Bill Maher is my favorite left winger....he is funny and he actually has some common sense. Prayers for Gilbert's family and friends. RIP Gilbert!
Bill Maher has never been Left. He's a Libertarian, which is just a weed smoking republican.
He isn't left-wing in the slightest though. I think you're confused.
You sweet lads spark joy!!!
Wow I did not realize Bill is 66 years old now, he could easily pass for a man in late 40's or early 50's, dude takes care of himself.
I agree. He looks good. He uses his millions well instead of going under the knife.
It's the weed, and he keeps his weight down 😊
Eats well, exercise's,little hair dye,genetics .
Two of my favorite people.
Hey, why not go to Coachella? I´m 58 and I just went to Lollapalooza! 😜
Everything he's said about Trump is true.
And the streak hasn't let up as of yet
Viewtiful Bill Lamar couldn't have said it better myself that is why we love them!
Jimmy and Bill - ready to take one for the team!
but only if the numbers are right! hahaha
Bill....you are looking more like Yves Saint Laurent every day with the glasses.
Bill the Kid. Straight shooter. love your show man. You guys are good together.🤗🤔🤕😷🍿🤣👋😅✌️
Great show Jimmy
My favorite movie growing up at 4 years old was Problem Child. I'll always remember Gilbert Gottfried from that.
Pretty messed up movie to watch at such a young age.
Love this interview!
I can't! 😂😂😂 Jimmy trying not to spoil Bill's special by saying what "adulting" is! 😂😂😂 I guess when you have kids you're adulting all the time.
I loved Gottfried’s Rosanne Barr roast. You can see it here on UA-cam.
Yes! It was gold! His roast of Joan Rivers was legend too.
I love Bill, the only reason I have HBO
Facts. Me too!!!
There are many reasons I avoid his show and still pirate HBO.
Gilbert,like Lenny,Carlin,Pryor, and all of the other greats was,above all,fearless.
Bill, you hit the nail on the head. Comedians should be clapped on the back instead of being booed and cancelled for “crossing the line”. If a comedian hurts someone’s feelings, that is just too damn bad. This is America. People forget that freedom of speech is for everyone. Some people are very conservative and can’t take a joke. Just humorless people to begin with. Religious, uptight, and not very bright.
Will Smith is super uptight & takes himself too seriously. Can’t take a joke.
I love this, I love Bill as a person and love to see him in these kinda shows letting his hair down and chilling. As a moral guide for everyone born after 1980, I think we need more of him. A lot more since most of us are confused as hell.
Where now the horse and the rider? Where is the horn that was blowing?
Where is the helm and the hauberk, and the bright hair flowing?
Where is the hand on the harpstring, and the red fire glowing?
Where is the spring and the harvest and the tall corn growing?
They have passed like rain on the mountain, like a wind in the meadow;
The days have gone down in the West behind the hills into shadow.
Who shall gather the smoke of the dead wood burning,
Or behold the flowing years from the Sea returning?
Save LOTR for Colbert
@@fsinjin60 He knows too much already lol, besides it was fitting here.
@@Neo101ai fits? Naw. There is nothing glorious here and no dead.
@@fsinjin60 I was implying the death of something, that should have been glorious.
Only a few stand ups made me laugh the way Gilbert did. One of the greats. RIP.
The dude is amazing and so prolific.
We need COMEDIANS!! THE ONES WHO MAKE US LAUGH AT REALITY not cry at it. Unless you're laughing too hard!!
When I am done baring witness to Putin's genocide, I need my Seinfeld or the Office fix, witnessing such atrocities is our duty no matter how hard, Putin the child killer must never be able to lie about the genocide he committed based on lies.
👍Awesome interview, Jimmy!
Love this man so much😍😍😍
Love bill love I don’t agree always love it
When Jimmy said "we need crazy people talking" I felt very nummy inside for a second, because on the rare occasion I do stand-up, it's *pure* mental illness on display. 😊
I remember Gilbert was on a 3rd Bass rap video. I think it was "The Gas Face."
Bill Maher is funnier now than 10 years ago. He some how checked his smugness. Hope we're all so lucky.
Hey Bill, STOP saying Covid is OVER & you pay ALOT OF TAXES....
@@mikewhite4560 It's not over, but it's obviously getting better. Omicron isn't nearly as bad as the antecedent variants.
@@siim605 TOUCHE
I'm not sure he checked it completely but when you get older even your own arrogance bores you. You will be that lucky
@@janelliot5643 A great observation about aging,although sometimes the arrogance turns into just plain cantankerousness.
It isn't just a war on comedians, it is a war on the Freedom of speech. Freedom doesn't mean limition. Freedom doesn't mean freedom from.
Bill Maher: He's like what would happen if "OK Boomer" morphed into a person.
I hit the like button mostly for your profile name 😃
@@Salem-yy5wn As well you should.
Bill Maher could at least come up with an original insult, unlike the witless parrots who repeat "OK Boomer" for the billionth time
@@Mullet-ZubazPants Hear hear.
And furthermore, the comment demonstrates how true is Bill's adage that ageism is the last acceptable prejudice.
Love Bill ❤️
True comedy is gone, the days of the fearless comedian are gone, the legends of comedy are gone.
None of the comedians that we love and consider legends would never have become famous in today’s world.
I really hope your not implying Gilbert Godfrey is a legend. If you are your out of your mind bro
Comedy is a reflection of the times and the times are just not the same like they were back in the 1970’s and 1980’s where you could just be freewheeling and transgressive. I genuinely believe that kind of comedy ended with the meteoric rise and fall of Andrew “Dice” Clay. His schtick was watered-down, vicious, and most importantly, unsubtle and it got tiresome very quickly.
@@thesanders5822 Go to his IMDb page and look at what an illustrious career he had, he has more credits on his IMDb page then you have anything of note….
Was on the Howard Stern show more than 100 times, Howard Stern would 100% call Gilbert Gottfried a legend, is Howard stern out of his mind too??
Bro
@@thesanders5822 I was thinking Dave Chapelle and Bill Burr personally.
Gilbert and Norm MacDonald were good friends. Makes sense.
