Gilbert Gottfried, the comedian, “Aladdin” star and owner of one of the most iconic voices in Hollywood, has died after battling a long illness, his family announced Tuesday. He was 67.

“We are heartbroken to announce the passing of our beloved Gilbert Gottfried after a long illness. In addition to being the most iconic voice in comedy, Gilbert was a wonderful husband, brother, friend and father to his two young children.

I still remember him being stranded on a boat with Al Bundy. That and him being in Alladin.

I sat next to him on the shuttle from La Guardia airport into NYC...he never said a word!
