Gilbert Gottfried
Gilbert Gottfried (February 28, 1955, Brooklyn, New York) is an American stand-up comedian and actor noted for his squint, his gravelly voice, his Brooklyn accent and his tendency to shout at the top of his lungs. Although he has a rather clean image on Hollywood Squares (perhaps noted his "You Fool!!" episode), his stand up routines and appearances on The Howard Stern Show are edgy and raunchy.
He has played numerous roles in film and television, perhaps most notably voicing the parrot Iago in Disney's Aladdin and co-starring in the Problem Child movies. He is also the voice of the duck in the AFLAC commercials and of Digit in PBS Kids Cyberchase. Gottfried makes regular appearances on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.
From 1980 to 1981, he was a cast member of the NBC late night series Saturday Night Live.
