The comic\u2019s death was confirmed by his family and, since then, fans and celebrities like <u>Jon Stewart and Seth MacFarlane have paid loving tribute<\/u> to the late performer. Comedian Jeff Ross is one of the stars who has been particularly vocal about Gottfried\u2019s legacy and was one of the many to attend his funeral. With this, he opened up about the \u201cheartwarming\u201d moments from the service, including the fact that Bob Saget\u2019s family attended.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Gilbert Gottfried\u2019s funeral was held on Thursday in Westchester, New York and was followed by a <u>\u201cstar-studded\u201d shiva attended by Sarah Silverman<\/u> and others. Jeff Ross opened up to <a href=\"https:\/\/people.com\/movies\/gilbert-gottfried-laid-to-rest-in-star-studded-joke-filled-funeral\/\" data-url=\"https:\/\/people.com\/movies\/gilbert-gottfried-laid-to-rest-in-star-studded-joke-filled-funeral\/\" rel=\"noopener\"><u>People<\/u><\/a> about how emotional the day was. Aside from reflecting on the eulogy he gave, he also couldn\u2019t help but point out that Bob Saget\u2019s widow, Kelly Rizzo, and three daughters were also there, alongside some other very close friends:\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure>\n<blockquote>\n<p>What was very heartwarming was seeing Bob Saget&#8217;s daughters at the service. And some of the guys that helped Gilbert write those Comedy Central roasts \u2014 Aaron Lee and Jordan Rubin \u2014 they wanted to pay their respects. They were part of that team that helped him rip the roof off those roasts.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\n<aside class=\"hawk-nest\" data-render-type=\"fte\" data-skip=\"dealsy\" data-widget-type=\"seasonal\"><\/aside>\n<p>While it\u2019s nice to hear that so many people attended the funeral, it\u2019s especially sweet to hear that Bob Saget\u2019s family were there to show support. <u>Saget, who sadly passed away at 65<\/u> back in January, was good friends with the <em>SNL<\/em> alum. As a matter of fact, following Gilbert Gottfried\u2019s death, <u>fans began revisiting a photo<\/u> that he previously posted, which shows him alongside Saget and Louie Anderson, who also died in January.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Kelly Rizzo, who\u2019s been <u>reflecting on her time with her husband<\/u> as of late, was one of the many to take to social media to pay tribute to the shrill-voiced comedian. She made note of her husband\u2019s friendship with him and shared a screenshot of a photo once posted by the <em>Aladdin<\/em> star.

So it\u2019s nice to see that the love is being returned during this time. The comedy world has seen some major losses in the last few months alone, though the support that\u2019s been shown whenever a loss happens has been truly amazing to see.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Given how influential they were in the comedy sphere, it goes without saying that both Bob Gilbert Gottfried and Bob Saget will be truly missed. And we here at CinemaBlend wish both families the best as they continue through these periods of transition.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The comedy community and public at large continues to mourn the loss of Gilbert Gottfried, who died this past week at age 67.
