Last night the world lost a comedy legend. Gilbert Gottfried passed away at the age of 67 years young.
The guy who’s writing this caught his standup act in 2012 at a Yuk Yuk’s Comedy Club and he was incredible. Not only was he hilarious and knew how to work a crowd, but he also was an extremely kind person.
He had nothing but time for everyone in attendance. It was a sold out show and he still took more than enough time to take photos with everyone and chat with each person.
Now, this won’t sum the man up at all, but we’ve decided to put the man’s best *CLEAN* legendary bits together in a Top 3 format.
#3 – Hollywood Squares Legend
rest in peace to Gilbert Gottfried who has probably the best sequence in game show history on Hollywood Squares. if you're not an old hag like me who remembers the rules, both contestants needed his square to secure the 5-square win, but he decided to troll both of them pic.twitter.com/Egzyzygudd

#2 – Cameo Legend
A guy bought Gilbert on Cameo and got him to read the transcript of Ottawa Senators forward Brady Tkachuk’s comments towards Brendan Lemieux after his cheap shot in an NHL game.
Sorry everybody, Morgan Freeman wasn’t available. But I found the next best thing. https://t.co/WvOcKffZSJ pic.twitter.com/T83zur4lv2

#1 – Comedy Roast Legend
Gilbert participated in quite a few Comedy Central Roasts and thankfully they can all be found on YouTube. Here’s one of his best closing jokes from the Hugh Hefner bash.
