Great hearing his real voice! RIP to a great comedian.

I remember when this first aired on SNL. It was the funniest thing I'd ever seen in my life. I was in pain from laughing so hard. RIP, Gilbert.

[georgeriley]

This is exactly why he used that stage voice. The crowd pops when he started using it

[josephanthonyfaracijr.]

This is when he found his 'true' voice I bet LOL

Gilbert Gottfried just died. He will not be forgotten! Thanks for the laughs.

[NewhamMatt]

You can just hear Iago starting to come out...

[jojohehe]

And here is the birth of Gilbert Gottfried

[BenjaminWirtz]

About 1:30 we start hearing the voice we know now.

[aliavisioproductions]

Aw this is great. Like everybody else is saying too I'm sure, I just can't get over seeing the 'Iago voice' Gottfried slowly surface throughout this segment. "What?...Gottfried is evolving!" *cue pokemon music*

[unexpectedsurviving]

Amazing 👏 you can hear his real voice slowly go into gilbert Gottfried and until this day he is that guy lmao!!!

[nathanforester]

He sounds like Jerry Seinfeld, and when he starts screaming it's like he's an angry Seinfeld.

[qtpysusie]

And, enjoy your newfound heaven with Norm and Bob. I almost believe you all missed the closeness you had here. Now you're together forever. And heaven sure got a lot more funny.

[NewhamMatt]

This was genuinely clever and a little funny as well.  Why couldn't season 6 have had a bit more of this?

[Killermike]

Feels like a cross between Nathan Thurm, Martin Short's sleazy lawyer character and Irwin Mainway, Dan Aykroyd's sleazy toy manufacturing tycoon...

[ambassador]

Have to give the guy credit on using a stage in ever interview or gig for 40 years!

[daddywalker]

Wow I thought his screeching voice was his real voice lol

[vnv]

I cancan't believe that he's gone, I loved him on #problemchild, #problemchild2 and #aladdin. He's one of the most funniest person ever, #ripgilbertgottfried 😢

[jamesshafran]

Gilbert Gottfried's real voice at last!

[Denizen-Unknown]

This has got to be the most normal I've ever heard Gilbert sound. It's WEIRD!
