He thought he was getting his big break when he landed a spot on "Saturday Night Live" alongside Eddie Murphy in 1980. But he was given little to do on the show.
He had roles in "Beverly Hills Cop II" and the "Problem Child" films and presented bad movies as host of "USA Up All Night" from 1989 to 1998. Less than a month after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, at the Friars Club Roast of Hugh Hefner, Gottfried made jokes about planes making stops at skyscrapers, and was met with boos and shouts of "Too soon!" He responded with an especially foul version of the comedians' inside joke "The Aristocrats," which many in the audience took as a message that he believed it was the comic's job to remain crude at all costs.
an exceptional talent.
Damn. RIP 🪦
