Barton_Keyes Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Here's something interesting I've recently stumbled across: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A62TiclPrIg This is a YouTube link to an interview Robert Osborne did a few weeks ago on comedian Gilbert Gottfried's podcast. I've always thought Gottfried was a lame comic with an incredibly annoying voice, but here he proves himself to be a shockingly gifted interviewer and Robert Osborne is likewise surprisingly candid.

AndyM108 Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 After listening to Gottfried's voice for about 30 seconds, I'd much rather read the printed transcript. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sewhite2000 Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 This is great stuff. Every fan of TCM fan ought to sample it. Don't let Gottfried's voice scare you off. I listened to the first half hour just now and plan to check out the rest in the next day or two. Thanks so much for providing this link! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume that in the interview he also has the same "incredibly annoying" voice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Kimble Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 I assume that in the interview he also has the same "incredibly annoying" voice. Only a very scaled-down version. Like Fran Drescher, the incredibly annoying voice is a put-on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownGoesFrazier Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Only a very scaled-down version. Like Fran Drescher, the incredibly annoying voice is a put-on. In other words, they strategize that if they can sound as annoying as possible, they will build up a legion of fans? If that were true, June Allyson would have far surpassed either of the Hepburns.

SableGamine Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 That was actually...somewhat pleasant to listen to, and Gottfried seems very well-informed. Interesting. I suppose one never knows the full extent to which people market a persona versus who they really are. People probably wouldn't find him so annoying if he showed this side of himself more. I notice how he introduced the podcast in his usual, "expected" comedian voice, and then segues into what I'm assuming is his normal voice. I still don't care for him, though, he just irks me. Robert Osborne also has this knack for bringing out the other, more relatable sides of people when he talks to them, whether he's the interviewer or the interviewee.

Maybe RO can bring out the human side of Charles Manson. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SableGamine Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Maybe RO can bring out the human side of Charles Manson. Left field, much? Gottfried has never been one of my favorites, to put it lightly, but he does seem slightly less grating here. I never saw his appeal as a comedian or an actor, though.

LOL) Well, if Manson is already getting laughs, maybe Gottfried can sit down with him, and they can exchange bon mots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
