The year has already started off on a sombre tone, with two comedy legends passing away this month. Louie Anderson, who passed away on Friday, and Bob Saget, who passed away on the 9th of January, both left indelible marks on the craft.

With the whole world mourning the loss of these icons, it is no surprise that their friends are also still grieving. Gilbert Gottfried went online recently to pay his respects to his friends.
