Gilbert Gottfried Joins BlogTalkRadio host Olivia Wilder on Thursday, August 21, 2008, at 6 p.m. EDT

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) August 16, 2008 -- Dubbed "the comedian's comedian", Gilbert Gottfried is truly a unique presence in the world of stand-up. From being a cast member in the beginnings of Saturday Night Live, to countless appearances on such shows as The Late Show, Jay Leno, and Howard Stern, Gottfried has tickled the funny bones of audiences for years.

He has appeared in or done voice-overs in nearly 100 films or television appearances and commercials, plus made appearances as himself in over 60 more. His distinctive raspy voice can be heard in various commercials, including the frustrated duck in the AFLAC Insurance commercials.

Gottfried recently appeared in the hit comedy documentary "The Aristocrats," with Entertainment Weekly saying that "out of the 101 comedians who appear on screen, no one is funnier - or more disgusting - than Gilbert Gottfried." "Gilbert Gottfried Dirty Jokes" was recently released on both DVD and CD, featuring 50 non-stop minutes of Gottfried telling the funniest and filthiest jokes ever. The show was filmed live at the Gotham Comedy Club in New York City. Also featured on the DVD are some of the funniest bonus features ever, including wild stories, indignant ranting and celebrity impressions that will leave viewers crying for more. For this live performance, Gottfried puts aside political correctness and fires an onslaught of jokes that know no boundaries. At the end of the show, Gottfried tells what is known among comedians as the "Dirtiest Joke of All Time," which is also the basis for "The Aristocrats."

Gottfried is one of the most sought-after comedians, and regularly performs live to sold-out audiences across North America.

Mr. Gottfried will not be able to take calls, as his time will be limited. The chat room will be open, however. The live, internet talk-radio show will stream from the host page at http://blogtalkradio.com/olivia.
