Gilbert Gottfried made me laugh at times when laughter did not come easily. What a gift. I did not know him well but I loved what he shared with me. My best wishes and sympathy to his family. #ripGilbertGottfried

He was so nice to let a random fan and her crew impose on him like this. Couldn’t have been more gracious. And after the interview he took pictures with us and wished us all well. Quite a great human being. Sometimes you meet people you’re a fan of and it’s just what you’d hope. pic.twitter.com/jJByt56Ig4
