I am sorry to read about the death of Gilbert Gottfried. Funny, not politically correct, but soft on the inside. We have met many times; He was still laughing at me on the plane, he changed my translator @ 655 Jackie(They are like twins). I send love to Dara and her children. ⁇ #Gilbertgottfried pic.twitter.com/R4mxWBRsNo

Rest in peace Gilbert Gottfried! The first time I saw him live, he did his Jackie Kennedy: “Do You Remember Jackie Where You Are…” in front of drunk Bruins fans at the Knicks. #RIPGilbertGottfried https://t.co/9w0offZEZG

RIP Gilbert. Gilbert Gottfried’s opening at Carolines and Princeton Catch was one of the greatest thrills of my early childhood. You might be out of breath … incredibly weird funny … hell.

Nothing funny about it @RealGilbert On the roll. It can throw you into convulsive hysteria. He is also the sweetest man. His podcast is a comic treasure. Massive loss. My condolences to Dara and her family. https://t.co/qdZQV1A6sC
