Bill Maher told Jimmy Kimmel that while he'd spent a lot of time with Gilbert Gottfried, he had hoped to get to know the late comedian better: 'He was a hard guy to get to know well'
When Kimmel asked if he meant that Gottfried was one to never answer a question seriously, Maher agreed that it was “kind of that way.”
“There are people I know an hour that I feel like I know better than I knew Gilbert. But I thought, here’s the time. That’s what that Hawaii trip was for,” Maher explained. And if the “persona” continued, Maher said at least he could’ve been spending time “laughing” with the comedian. Kimmel shared the same sentiments of Gottfried always being on and noted, “It always made me feel kind of odd when I would ask him a question, he would never give you a real answer, and in a way it felt like the message was, ‘Why would I answer this seriously when I could be funny right now?'”
Maher went on to describe Gottfried as the “king of too soon,” referencing a time when Gottfried “got into a world of trouble” after making a 9/11 joke at Hugh Hefner’s roast. Kimmel noted that he was actually hosting that roast, which was taped shortly after the tragedy, and recalled Gottfried going onstage and saying “some of the craziest stuff.”
To honor Gottfried’s legacy, Maher said he felt like he “really let him down by not being able to come up with something totally inappropriate” to joke about his death given that’s how he’d probably want everyone to handle it. But he felt good knowing that he managed to give him a shout-out during a recent airing of“I don’t think he was probably able to hear it,” Maher recalled of mentioning the comedian on last week’s show.
