Gilbert Gottfried, a comedian with a signature honking voice who delighted in shocking his audiences with pointedly crude material and who achieved greater renown in film and on TV commercials, has died aged 67.
Gottfried, who began doing stand-up comedy when he was 15, was briefly in the cast of Saturday Night Live, appeared in major comedy clubs and on Howard Stern’s radio broadcasts and was often featured in raunchy roasts of other comedians.
