SiriusXM is saddened by the loss of Gilbert Gottfried, who, according to his family, passed away after a long illness.
“In addition to being the most iconic voice in comedy, Gilbert was a wonderful husband, brother, friend, and father to his two young children,” they shared on social media. “Although today is a sad day for all of us, please keep laughing as loud as possible in Gilbert’s honor.”
A frequent guest on many SiriusXM channels, Gottfried also shared his unmistakable voice and signature wit while hosting the SiriusXM original podcast “Gilbert Gottfried’s Amazing Colossal Show!” He and co-host Frank Santopadre talked with actors, directors, musicians, and more about their experiences in Hollywood’s golden era.
Past episodes are available to stream on the SiriusXM app, in addition to a special tribute to Gottfried’s funniest moments on Comedy Greats and his 2012 and 2017 appearances on “UnMasked.”
Originally from Brooklyn, NY, and an early “Saturday Night Live” cast member, Gottfried’s unforgettable voice could be heard in Disney’s “Aladdin” as the parrot Iago, the duck in Aflac commercials, Dr. Bender and his son Wendell in “The Fairly OddParents,” and countless other TV shows and films. He married Dara Kravitz in 2007, and together they have a daughter, Lily, and a son, Max.
