Gilbert Gottfried

Gottfried was born in the Coney Island section of the Brooklyn borough of New York City on February 28, 1955,{{cite book |last=Gottfried |first=Gilbert |author-link=Gilbert Gottfried |date=2011 |title=Rubber Balls and Liquor |location=New York |publisher=St. Martin's Publishing Group |page=19 |isbn=9781429978569 |quote=Where I was born, in Coney Island, it wasn't the most Jewish neighborhood.

We weren't that aware of the holidays or anything like that, but were aware of being Jewish. It's like I kind of knew that even though I was never bar mitzvahed and we didn't follow the holidays, I knew that if the Nazis came back, I'd be in the same train coach with everyone else."{{cite web |url=https://jewishjournal.com/commentary/blogs/213191/gilbert-gottfried-talks-to-the-jewish-journal-to-play-carolines-on-broadway-on-dec-23-24/ |title=Gilbert Gottfried talks to the Jewish Journal, to play Carolines On Broadway on Dec. 23 & 24|website=Jewish Journal |date=December 19, 2016|access-date=April 12, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161228232228/http://www.jewishjournal.com/podcast_news_and_reviews/item/gilbert_gottfried_talks_to_the_jewish_journal_to_play_carolines_on_broadway |archive-date=December 28, 2016}}

From Coney Island, the family moved to Brooklyn's Crown Heights, followed by Borough Park.{{cite web|url=https://www.brooklynpaper.com/gilbert-gottfried-shows-his-range/|title=Gilbert Gottfried shows his range|work=Brooklyn Paper|date=October 15, 2012|first=Will|last=Bredderman|access-date=April 17, 2022}}

Gottfried's first comedy routine on stage was at the Bitter End in Greenwich Village during one of its Hootenanny Night events when he was 15 years old. His two sisters Arlene and Karen accompanied him, having thought the performances he did for the family were good enough for the stage and encouraged him to try it out.{{cite web|url=https://www.avclub.com/gilbert-gottfried-rubber-balls-and-liquor-1798168151|title=Gilbert Gottfried: Rubber Balls and Liquor|publisher=AV Club|date=May 5, 2011|first=Michaelangelo|last=Matos|access-date=April 17, 2022}} His early routines focused on impressions of old time actors and celebrities, including Boris Karloff and Humphrey Bogart.{{cite web|url=https://www.wbur.org/npr/349231220/passionate-proclamations-with-gilbert-gottfried|title=Passionate Proclamations With Gilbert Gottfried|publisher=WBUR.org|date=September 18, 2014|access-date=April 17, 2022}} From there, he worked the local comedy circuit and became known in the area as a "comedian's comedian",{{cite web |url=http://www.gilbertgottfried.com/about.php |title=About Gilbert |publisher=Gilbertgottfried.com |access-date=March 1, 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121025175708/http://www.gilbertgottfried.com/about.php |archive-date=October 25, 2012}} and started to perform edgier material when he became bored with his usual routines. One such incident occurred when Gottfried opened for Belinda Carlisle, which was attended by younger girls and their mothers. Gottfried stated: "I tried doing my regular act for about 5 minutes, then I just launched into the filthiest stuff I could think of. And the next day, I got a call from my agent saying, 'Everybody there loved you,' which is show business talk for, 'You're fired.{{'"}}

In 1980, when Saturday Night Live was being retooled with a new staff and new comedians, the producers noticed Gottfried and hired him as a cast member for its sixth season.{{cite news |last=Edgers |first=Geoff |date=October 30, 2014 |title=The first time Prince could have saved Saturday Night Live |newspaper=The Washington Post |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/arts-and-entertainment/wp/2014/10/30/the-first-time-prince-could-have-saved-saturday-night-live/ |access-date=August 23, 2016 |archive-date=September 16, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160916105928/https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/arts-and-entertainment/wp/2014/10/30/the-first-time-prince-could-have-saved-saturday-night-live/ |url-status=live }}{{cite news |first=Gus |last=Wezerek |title=The 'S.N.L.'

During his 12-episode stint, he did not get along with the writers and was rarely used in sketches. He played one recurring character named Leo Waxman (husband of Denny Dillon's Pinky Waxman on the recurring talk show sketch "What's It All About?") and did two celebrity impersonations: David Stockman and Roman Polanski.{{cite news |last=Wright |first=Megh |date=October 3, 2012 |title=Saturday Night's Children: Gilbert Gottfried (1980–1981) |work=Vulture |url=https://www.vulture.com/2012/10/saturday-nights-children-gilbert-gottfried-1980-1981.html |access-date=April 12, 2022 |archive-date=March 10, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220310181303/https://www.vulture.com/2012/10/saturday-nights-children-gilbert-gottfried-1980-1981.html |url-status=live}}

From 1983 to 1984, Gottfried regularly performed on Alan Thicke's short-lived show Thicke of the Night. In April 1987, he headlined a half-hour comedy special that aired as part of the Cinemax Comedy Experiment series. Gottfried played Sidney Bernstein in Beverly Hills Cop II, in which he reunited with friend and fellow Saturday Night Live alumnus Eddie Murphy.{{cite web|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1987-06-19-ca-4881-story.html|title=There's No Accounting for Gottfried's Success|website=Los Angeles Times|date=June 19, 1987|access-date=April 12, 2022|archive-date=April 12, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220412203724/https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1987-06-19-ca-4881-story.html|url-status=live}} In August that same year, Gottfried made his debut appearance on The Howard Stern Show.

Although not a regular, Gottfried appeared in The Amazing Live Sea Monkeys, as well as performed the voice of Jerry the Belly Button Elf in Ren and Stimpy. Three of his most prominent roles came in 1990, 1991, and 1992, when he was cast as Igor Peabody in Problem Child and Problem Child 2 and Iago in Aladdin. When asked how he prepared for the role of Iago, Gottfried joked, "I did the whole DeNiro thing. I moved to South America! I lived in the trees!" Gottfried reprised the role in The Return of Jafar, Aladdin and the King of Thieves, the television series and various related media, such as Kingdom Hearts and House of Mouse. However, the character was ultimately recast to Alan Tudyk for the 2019 remake. Gottfried also voiced Berkeley Beetle in the 1994 film Thumbelina. He was the host of the Saturday edition of USA Up All Night for its entire run from 1989 to 1998.{{cite web |title=Up All Nite at Nitehawk Cinema |url=https://www.screenslate.com/series/all-nite-nitehawk-cinema |access-date=April 13, 2022 |website=Screen Slate |archive-date=April 16, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210416201350/https://www.screenslate.com/series/all-nite-nitehawk-cinema |url-status=live}}{{citation |title=USA Up All Night |url=https://www.tvtime.com/en/show/306219|access-date=April 13, 2022|archive-date=July 10, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190710004502/https://www.tvtime.com/en/show/306219 |url-status=live}}

He was a recurring guest star during the Tom Bergeron era of Hollywood Squares and became the center of attention in a bizarre episode that aired on October 1, 1999. In this episode, the two contestants made nine consecutive incorrect guesses, six of which were to be game-deciding questions asked to Gottfried. As the only remaining square, whoever captured him would have five squares and therefore win the game. Penn Jillette, who was a guest alongside Teller on the same episode, berated a contestant earlier for giving an incorrect guess by shouting, "You fool!". Gottfried himself began to use the phrase, with most of the other stars (including Bergeron himself) eventually joining in with every successive wrong guess, beginning with the second question he was asked. As a result, it took the episode's entire half hour to play only one game. However, he was eventually captured on the last possible question. Appropriately, the episode became known as the "You Fool!" episode.{{cite web |date=October 1, 2014 |title="You Fool!"

Gottfried provided the voice of the duck in the Aflac commercials, Digit in Cyberchase, Dr. Bender and his son Wendell in The Fairly OddParents, and Mister Mxyzptlk (pronounced "Mikz-yez-pit-lik") in Superman: The Animated Series. He reprised his role as Mister Mxyzptlk in Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham, Justice League Action, and Lego DC Super-Villains. He also played a nasty wisecracking criminal genius named Nick Knack in two episodes of Superboy. He also co-wrote an issue of Superboy, which featured Nick Knack's origin. Gottfried made regular appearances on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and has played Harry Potter and Yoda.{{cite web |title=Gilbert Gottfried at San Jose Improv |url=https://improv.com/sanjose/comic/gilbert+gottfried/ |access-date=April 13, 2022 |website=San Jose Improv|archive-date=April 13, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220413154343/https://improv.com/sanjose/comic/gilbert+gottfried/ |url-status=live }}{{cite news |last=Brunner |first=Jeryl |date=April 12, 2022 |title=Remembering Gilbert Gottfried!

In April, he performed with the University of Pennsylvania's Mask and Wig Club in their annual Intercollegiate Comedy Festival. Also in 2006, he made an appearance on the Let's Make a Deal portion of Gameshow Marathon (as a baby in a large high chair, he says "Hey Ricki, I think I need my diaper changed!"), and in the Dodge Viper in the big deal (where he tells the contestants "What were you thinking?!" because neither one picked it).

Gottfried's wife Dara served as executive producer and it was recorded weekly until his death in 2022, with re-uploads of older episodes continuing afterwards in his honor.{{cite podcast |url=https://soundcloud.com/gilbertgottfried |first1=Gilbert |last1=Gottfried |last2=Santopadre |first2=Frank |author1-link=Gilbert Gottfried |author2-link=Frank Santopadre |title=Gilbert Gottfried's Amazing Colossal Podcast |website=SoundCloud |date=January 10, 2022 |access-date=June 26, 2022}}

Standard episodes ran about an hour in length and featured interviews with a variety of entertainers, writers, and directors, including Dick Cavett, Tippi Hedren, George Takei, Brenda Vaccaro (who ended up being his final guest), Bob Costas, Susie Essman, Dick Van Dyke, Alan Arkin, Phil Rosenthal, Lee Grant, and many more. Several guests made more than one appearance, but none more often than Mario Cantone. Cantone would annually help Gottfried and Santopadre celebrate the Christmas season with a mixture of songs, jokes, and cheer.

Its title Gilbert Gottfried's Amazing Colossal Podcast is a reference to the 1957 black-and-white science fiction film The Amazing Colossal Man, directed by Bert I. Gordon.{{cite web |title=The Amazing Colossal Man |url=https://www.tvguide.com/movies/the-amazing-colossal-man/2000030824/ |accessdate=June 16, 2022 |work=TV Guide}} Gottfried's chaotic comedic riffing and Santopadre's earnest interviewing offered the show a style all its own.

Starting in 2015, the podcast featured shorter mini-episodes around half an hour in length on more specific topics like particular character actors, films, or songs.{{cite web |title=Mini-Episode #1: George C.

Danny Gallagher of the Dallas Observer wrote that "Gottfried has one of the most original formulas in the history of comedy," adding, "You don't just laugh at the punchline when Gilbert Gottfried tells a joke. You laugh at the setup. You laugh at his comments about the joke. You even laugh at the segues between his jokes."{{cite news |last=Gallagher |first=Danny |date=August 25, 2017 |title=Gilbert Gottfried Talks About the Voice that Made Him a Comedy Icon |url=http://www.dallasobserver.com/arts/gilbert-gottfried-talks-comedy-jared-kushner-and-his-addison-improv-appearance-9848340 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170921145040/http://www.dallasobserver.com/arts/gilbert-gottfried-talks-comedy-jared-kushner-and-his-addison-improv-appearance-9848340 |archive-date=September 21, 2017 |access-date=September 21, 2017 |work=Dallas Observer}} Eric Falwell wrote of his influence in The Atlantic: "Gottfried's work as a stand-up shaped many comics today, whether they would say as much or not.

During his monologue at a Friars Club roast of Hugh Hefner, 3 weeks after the September 11 attacks, Gottfried joked that he had intended to catch a plane, but could not get a direct flight because "they said they have to stop at the Empire State Building first". This was one of the first public examples of 9/11 humor. Audience members responded with hisses and a cry of "too soon!".

Gottfried was known for his frugality. He often walked instead of using public transportation because he did not want to pay the fares. In another incident, illustrator Drew Friedman recalled that Gottfried would visit his apartment unannounced in the late 1980s to watch films on his VCR because he did not want to buy one of his own.
