I have loved Gilbert’s irreverent sense of humor since I was a kid. I started listening to this wonderful podcast when he was alive (I was late to it) and since he left us I resolved to start at episode 1 and listen to all of them in order. Frank is the perfect eminently replaceable co-host and their chemistry is infectious. I truly enjoy getting to know so many titans of “old Hollywood,” but what I love best is continuing to get to know Gilbert. A singular talent and a lovable sentimental soul with the roughest of exteriors. My favorite combination. And if you believe that I’ve got a bridge to sell you…

I’ve been relistening to the podcast to stay away from politics and current events and it’s amazing how good some of these interviews were. Mostly due to Frank’s research, but occasionally Gilbert came through with an amazing impression or a story about an alleged antisemite. Love the mini episodes too. Frank, I wish you would entertain starting a similar show, these stories are significant and worthy of being heard
Thank You!!

Thank you for keeping Gilbert Gottfried alive through his Amazing Colossal Podcasts, along with Frank Santopadre and all of his amazing guests.

Thank you Frank, the late , great Gilbert, Dara, and everyone involved in this podcast! Whenever I’m feeling less than good, your podcast is a very funny, informative, joyful episode ( unless Gilbert mentions something about something or someone catching fire…) that let’s all of of us see behind the curtain of Show Biz ( movies, tv, or otherwise ) and all that went on. Just , thanks.😊
