Our Q104.3 family was devastated to learn Tuesday of the passing of our great friend, Gilbert Gottfried.
Gilbert was a longtime guest of the Jim Kerr Rock and Roll Morning Show, and whether he joined us in-person, on the phone or over Zoom, he was always too kind, too generous and too funny.
Gilbert was a legendary comedian and beloved voice actor. He was also a husband, brother, friend and father of two. In a statement announcing his passing, Gilbert's family elaborated on one of his final wishes.
"Although today is a sad day for all of us, please keep laughing as loud as possible in Gilbert's honor."
Over the past 25 years, Gilbert spent many mornings with us on Q104.3, helping us fill hours of airtime. All he asked in return is that we please plug his upcoming shows.
Now that Gilbert's off to the great show in the sky, we treasure the time we had with him and look back at some of the funniest moments.

(Gilbert had opinions!)

And Of Course: The Time Jim Kerr Bought Gilbert Breakfast
(That place never figured out the bacon.)
Goodbye, Gilbert. We miss you.
