Gilbert Gottfried (1955-2022) was an actor and stand-up comedian, known for his deliberate irritating voice, irreverent sense of humor, and controversial jokes. A frequent guest on Howard Stern's radio show in the 1980s, after a brief stint on Saturday Night Live, Gottfried's film career included appearances in Beverly Hills Cop II, Problem Child, Look Who's Talking Too, The Aristocrats, and voiced Iago the parrot in Disney's animated feature Aladdin, reprising the role in direct-to-video sequels, a television series, and in the Kingdom Hearts video games.
From 2014-2022, Gottfried interviewed countless celebrities on more than 675 episodes of his Gilbert Gottfried's Amazing Colossal Podcast with Frank Santopadre. He was the author of Rubber Balls and Liquor.
"Gottfried goes for the jugular in his first humor book...outrageous...guffaw-inducing jokes on almost every page." --Publishers Weekly "His deadpan accounts of [his] professional low points are some of the funniest parts of the book...In the grand tradition of self-deprecating comedy, he plays them, often brilliantly, for laughs." --The New York Times Book Review "This is definitely the loudest book I have ever read. It changed my life. After reading it I decided to go through transgender surgery." --Bob Saget "Gilbert is the funniest man alive. He is the comic genius of our generation. This book proves he is the Picasso of the cubist-dick joke." --Penn Jillette "More than a national treasure, he's a secret weapon. If we had had Gilbert Gottfried in World War II, Hitler would have given up in 1942." --Stephen King on Gilbert Gottfried
