BILLY WEST: Gilbert Gottfried's Amazing, Colossal Podcast 

Post Human Face

@1:40 "...If you cared anything about us or our movies please send me a dollar...pray to god that just never happened." It didn't happen. Here is an excerpt from a 1960 interview with Bud: Last year, Hollywood was startled to read in a wire service story that Bud was asking each of his former fans for fifty cents to help him get off the tax hook. Unhappily, Abbott said, “That story wasn’t true. It wasn’t presented right. The reporter who wrote it called and asked me a hypothetical question: ‘If all my fans gave me fifty cents each, wouldn’t I get out of debt?’ I said, “I guessed so.’ Then the story came out that I was asking for a half a buck from everyone. “I don’t want to beg. I never asked. ‘Brother can you spare fifty cents?’ Even so, half dollars came in from all over the U.S. and Canada. Many of them came with nice letters. “But the whole thing didn’t total up to more than a few hundred bucks.”

Jesus, Gilbert even had the timing perfect!

"Ya know Irving, I've been in a lot of crappy TV movies in my day, but this one's THE WORST."

😂😂😂 That scene was hilarious! Miss you, Gilbert, you were one of the funniest ever.

Gilbert didn't live to have that post-stroke, down on his luck, in the old actor's home ending ... but at least he did anything and everything for a buck! miss you Gil!

Your videos always help me to understand gilbert gottfrieds commonly unknown reference points...

Gilbert was such an underrated comic. He was a comic genius.

RIP Gilbert.

Very well done. Bravo!

Can someone please tell me what a strawberry malted is? Is it just a milkshake or what?

Can’t believe Gilbert’s gone

This is great! Thanks for making this

I've always been a HUGE fan of Abbot and Costello, and the old time radio series...But anyway, is there a recording of this podcast without Gilbert Gottfried in it? It's that voice... There's something very wrong with that mans vocal chords. I'm sure he's a lovely man, and a fine actor but I can't. I just can't.

RIP Gilbert!
