May he rest in peace.

He could be annoying, but he always made me laugh.

He was pretty legendary on the comic circuit scene. His brand of humor may not have been everyone's cup of tea, but he'll be missed...

Rest in peace.

Very sad

RIP.

I always liked his voice. May he rest in paradise.

Big, big time talent, very funny, you start laughing as soon as he came on the screen. I remember his various appearances on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno, he played characters like Yoda and Harry Potter.

It's odd, I'm not a regular podcast listener but two I always listened to were The Carson Podcast and Gilbert's Amazing Colossal Podcast. Yesterday, I tuned into The Carson Podcast and host Mark Malkoff announces the podcast is ending its run in May, this evening I'm looking through the headlines only to find Gilbert has passed.

He had a good life, RIP to Gilbert prayers for his wife and children.

Gilbert’s on a Married With Children episode that’s currently playing right now.

Gilbert Gottfried's cause of death revealed

The legendary comedian, age 67, died at 2:35 p.m. ET Tuesday from recurrent ventricular tachycardia due to myotonic dystrophy type II, said Glenn Schwartz, his longtime friend and publicist, told NBC News. As the New York Post notes, "Myotonic dystrophy (DM) is a genetic disorder marked by progressive muscle wasting and weakness which predominantly affects the limbs and face but can create increasingly dire complications for respiratory, skeletal and cardiac muscles." ALSO: Gottfried's Twitter account was briefly hacked following his death.

This guy was hilarious! I enjoyed his comedy from USA’s UP All Night to Problem Child! He could always put a smile on my face. The world will miss you.

I was so sad to hear this. Such an iconic comedian. Just a few months ago he was paying tribute to his friend Bob Saget, and now we've lost Gilbert himself.

He was fairly recently on Michael Strahan's "Pyramid" and he did not look well at all. It was sad to see as you can tell he was trying, but he could barely keep up with the game. He wasn't his usual quick-witted self.

I met him almost a decade ago at NJ's Chiller convention and he was one of the nicest celebs. I've met. He spoke in his natural voice which is nothing at all like the one he used in public.
