Gilbert Godfried has died at 67.
Most of the obituaries will talk about his rolls in Aladdin, and the PBS educational series Cyberchase, but I remember his triumph at the Hugh Hefner roast.
He lost the audience with a joke about flying into buildings 2 weeks after 911, and he got them back with a masterful rendition of the gold standard of jokes, "The Aristocrats."
He had other comedians falling out of their chairs.
Needless to say, this is not UNBELIEVABLY not safe for work.

Gottfried is magical... like a Disneyland of porn and foulness. How can we continue without him?
