About the Author:

GILBERT GOTTFRIED is a household name, having used his irritating voice and irreverent sense of humor to build an enormous following for his sold-out stand-up performances, his critically ignored motion picture career, and his hardly remembered turn as a Saturday Night Live cast member. He lives in New York, where he once killed a man for saying he didn't like yogurt.
