Gilbert Gottfried laid to rest in ‘joke-filled’ star-studded funeral attended by pal Bob Saget’s wife Kelly Rizzo & more

Plenty of tears - and plenty of laughter - was flowing today as family and friends gathered to say goodbye to comedian Gilbert Gottfried.

The groundbreaking funnyman, who passed away Tuesday after a long illness, was laid to rest Thursday morning in Westchester, New York.

Bob Saget's wife, Kelly Rizzo, and his three daughters, Aubrey, Jennifer, and Lara, were in attendance at the memorial.

As were plenty of Gilbert's comedy peers, including Jeff Ross, Colin Quinn, Susie Essman, Mario Cantone, Dave Attell, and Paul Shaffer.

And true to fashion, Jeff delivered a moving eulogy that not only included a touching tribute, but of course some good-hearted ribbing, like when he mentioned Gilbert “is survived by his wife, and sister, two great kids and over 12,000 little bottles of shampoo.”

Turning serious, the so-called “Roastmaster General,” 56, honored his friend's decades-long career.

"50 years in show business, 50 years! He went on stage as a teenager and he never stopped," Jeff reflected. "This man has been making people laugh for half a century. What a mitzvah. What a mission in life. What a purpose to have in this world."

Later, the roaster told the funeral was absolutely perfect.

"Gilbert would have loved it. I saw so many great comics there paying their respects,"he shared. "It was cathartic, but there was also a sense of relief.

"As I said at the funeral, Gilbert had been sick, he was tired, and he had perfect timing.

He knew it was his time to get off the stage."

CAUSE OF DEATH

Gilbert died at age 67 following a long illness.

The stand-up comic, who provided the voice of parrot Iago in Disney's Aladdin movies, suffered from a heart abnormality, his agent said.

 His family posted a touching tribute on the star's  page: "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."

They added: "Although today is a sad day for all of us, please keep laughing as loud as possible in Gilbert's honor."

According to Gilbert's rep, Glenn Schwartz, the comedian died from a "heart abnormality called Ventricular Tachycardia due to Myotonic Dystrophy type II."

COMEDY LEGENDS

His death comes just three months after he shared a photo on social media of him with fellow comedians Bob Saget and Louie Anderson, who both recently passed.
