One of my neighbors had that song played at his funeral (Convoy). And no, he wasn't a trucker.

Fuck fuck fuck.
I have listened to every episode of his podcast during while cycling over the last 7 years. So thankful he and Frank took the time to do their podcast and interview all the legends they did. You could tell something was going on with him over the last year or so, he definitely faded toward the end of each episode as he ran out of energy. RIP to a total legend.

I hope he had insurance.

Untimely joke seems appropriate, considering who it is. RIP, your voice will live on forever in our heads.

i think they tried to cancel him over his jokes, AFLAC fired him from the voice of their duck.

(CNN) -- The Aflac duck lost its voice Monday after the insurance giant fired the comedian behind the commercial quack for tweeting jokes about the earthquake and tsunami that have devastated Japan.


The Columbus, Georgia-based company fired Gilbert Gottfried less than an hour after discovering the tweets, according to a news release from Aflac.


"Gilbert's recent comments about the crisis in Japan were lacking in humor and certainly do not represent the thoughts and feelings of anyone at Aflac," Michael Zuna, the company's senior vice president and chief marketing officer, said in a statement.


The earthquake and tsunami have left more than 2,400 people dead and thousands more in shelters or missing.
Most of the tweets attributed to Gottfried make light of the natural disaster in either a flippant or a sexual manner.
The tweets include this, posted at 12:33 p.m. Saturday:


"Japan called me. They said 'maybe those jokes are a hit in the U.S., but over here, they're all sinking.' "


Another tweet, posted at 11:06 a.m. the same day, said:


"I was talking to my Japanese real estate agent. I said 'is there a school in this area.' She said 'not now, but just wait.' "


Zuna said, "Aflac Japan -- and, by extension, Japan itself -- is part of the Aflac family, and there is no place for anything but compassion and concern during these difficult times." He added that the company was giving the International Red Cross 100 million yen ($1.2 million) to aid in disaster relief.


Zuna also noted that Gottfried had not provided the quack for the Japanese version of the Aflac duck.


Gottfried is perhaps best known as a character actor in such Hollywood movies as "The Adventures of Ford Fairlane," "Problem Child 1 and 2" and "House Party 3." His high-pitched, gravelly voice also provided the dialogue for Iago, the parrot sidekick of an evil sultan's adviser in the Disney cartoon movie "Aladdin," as well as subsequent sequels.

Louie's death was only 12 days or so after Saget's death, and people (at least on many of the podcasts and such I listen to) were still focused on Saget. especially as strange as his death was being alone in a hotel room with very strange skull fractures. Louie just got a bit overshadowed sadly.
