Gilbert Gottfried (born February 28, 1955 in
Brooklyn, New York) is an American
Stand-up comedian and actor noted
for his squint, his gravelly voice, his Brooklyn
accent and his tendency to shout at the top of his
lungs. Although he has a rather clean image on
Hollywood Squares (perhaps most notably his "You
Fool!!" episode), his stand up routines and
appearances on The Howard Stern Show (for bits of
racially explicit satire) are edgy and raunchy.

He has played numerous roles in film and
television, perhaps most notably voicing the
parrot Iago in Disney's Aladdin (movie)|Aladdin
and co-starring in the Problem Child movies. He is
also the voice of the duck in the AFLAC
commercials and of Digit in PBS Kids Cyberchase.
Gottfried makes regular appearances on The Tonight
Show with Jay Leno.

From 1980 to 1981, he was a cast member of the NBC
late night series Saturday Night Live.  Through
the late 1980s and much of the 1990s, he was
co-host (first with Caroline Schlitt then with
Rhonda Shear) of the USA Network late-night movie
showcase, "USA's Up All Night".

In July 2005 the New Yorker revealed that high
school-dropout Gottfried, notorious for his frugal
loner lifestyle, will move into a new Manhattan
apartment with a longtime girlfriend that cost
almost $3 million.
