What’s Trending with Gilbert Gottfried

If there could be a face next to “larger than life personality” in the dictionary, it would definitely be that of Gilbert Gottfried. When he walks into the room, he’s initially an underwhelming presence- standing at 5’5″ and soft spoken. Yes, you read that right, he is soft spoken. But when the camera turns on he dives into that famous Aflac voice and let’s his mind and mouth go straight into the gutter, a place I usually reserve just for my mind.

I had the pleasure of witnessing this transformation first hand while co-hosting for What’s Trending, a huge online live show with more than a 1,000,000 subscribers. Considering it’s an online show, and Gilbert Gottfried has had some not-so-small issues with the online world, it was pretty balls-y for him to be our guest for a half hour. Then again, he was promoting his book Rubber Balls and Liquor, so maybe this was just a serendipitous meeting.

Check out the craziness for yourself. My ears are still ringing.
