Gilbert Gottfried, whose distinctive voice and acerbic style made him a comedy legend, was the subject of numerous fan and friend tributes Tuesday after news of his death at age 67.
“Nobody was funnier than @RealGilbert on a roll. He could put you into convulsive hysterics. He was also the sweetest man. His podcast is a comedy treasure. What a terrible loss. Sending my condolences and love to (wife) Dara and his family,” tweeted director Judd Apatow.
“the funniest person I’ve ever known. There will never be another like him. RIP Gilbert Gottfried,” wrote comedy writer Matt Oswalt.
