Gilbert Gottfried Does One Final Impression In Video Recorded Hours Before He Was Rushed To Hospital
The last episode of late comedian Gilbert Gottfried's podcast has been released almost a month after his passing.
Gottfried was the host of Gilbert Gottfried’s Amazing Colossal Podcast since 2014, and cohosted the show with comedy writer Frank Santopadre. The two funny men would discuss Hollywood history and pop culture with veteran actors, comedians and musicians.
As reported by Huffpost, a behind the scenes clip from the second part of the final episode was just posted on Gottfried's official Twitter as a memorial to the late actor and comedian.
The clip shows Gottfried doing his notorious impression of English actor James Mason for the podcast's guest Brenda Vaccaro of HBO's And Just Like That....
Hours after recording the podcast, 67-year-old Gottfried was rushed to the hospital and died due to complications from type II myotonic dystrophy.

He made me laugh harder than any other comedian. I miss him.— Brian Grimes (@Brian Grimes) 1651661122
Thank you for sharing, I will always remember his impressions of soo many Hollywood actors and characters both real and cartoon. The songs he would sing, out of the air and give a new life. I had to stop my work and cry that he is no longer in pain while I laughed. Mount Laugh.— intelboy (@intelboy) 1651667096
I just want to say thank you Gilbert for all the comedy being a role model for all the kids in the 1980s and the 1990s you are great. you are truly a legend of comedy and Hollywood you will not be forgotten .

A true titan of comedy, still hurts that he\u2019s gone, but glad we had him while we did. Hope he\u2019s cracking ribs up there with Norm and the rest.— Seth \u201cSpring Machete\u201d Demeter #NewDeal4Animation (@Seth \u201cSpring Machete\u201d Demeter #NewDeal4Animation) 1651638378
I remember seeing it earlier this year shortly after Bob Saget passed. \n\nIt really made me see Gilbert from a whole different perspective outside of him doing voice work and comedy. And frankly, I love him even more after it.— Sir Simon A. \uea00 (@Sir Simon A. \uea00) 1651640552
