Comedian Gilbert Gottfried has been entertaining the world since he was 15 years old. His numerous roles include being a cast member on season 6 of SNL, an accountant in Beverly Hills Cop II, and voicing the parrot Iago in Alladin.

Gilbert has a reputation for pushing boundaries in comedy. On stage he plays what you could call his alter-ego - he squints his eyes, screams at the top of his lungs, and his material usually hovers between tasteless, dumb, and more often than not: really, really, funny.

Gilbert Gottfried is the subject of a new documentary. It's called Gilbert. It was directed by Neil Berkeley. In the movie, Gilbert opens up about his second life we don't know much about: his wife and kids.

Gilbert talks to Jesse about the time he lost a gig as the voice of Aflac Duck after a tweet, and his new documentary.
