Gilbert Gottfried's final post reveals support for friend Chris Rock after The Oscars
'Although today is a sad day for all of us, please keep laughing as loud as possible in Gilbert’s honor.'
The comic said that prior to performing he 'just had to worry about wearing a mask,' alluding to the coronavirus. Gottfried's death is the latest premature passing to hit the comedy community within the last seven months, following the passing of Norm Macdonald at 61 in September of 2021; Bob Saget at 65 in January, and Louie Anderson at 68 later that month.
Following the deaths of Bob Saget at 65 and Louie Anderson at 68 in January, Gottfried subsequently shared an image of himself with Saget and Anderson posing for a selfie. He wrote, 'This photo is very sad now. RIP Bob Saget and RIP Louie Anderson. Both good friends that will be missed.'
