- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
Comedy icon Gilbert Gottfried’s final podcast episode was released on Monday, the second part of an interview with “And Just Like That…” actor Brenda Vaccaro.
As part of the release, Gottfried’s official Twitter feed shared a clip of him doing his James Mason impression ― a staple of his show ― as Vaccaro laughed.
Gottfried was rushed to the hospital just hours later and died last month at the age of 67:
