Windows XP Shutting Down - Aladdin & Cyberchase Voice Actor Gilbert Gottfried Dead At Age 67

It looks like Hacker isn't getting beaten today

We are so saddened to report the death of the legendary comedian Gilbert Gottfried who passed away this morning at the age of 67 years old.

Gottfried was first brought to the animated world as the voice of Iago in the 1992 Disney Classic Aladdin which later expanded from a movie trilogy into a television series. His iconic role led him to voicing Digit the Parrot on the long-running PBS Kids math series Cyberchase a math cartoon about three kids using mathematic powers to destroy Hacker voiced by none other than Back to the Future legend Dr. CHristopher Lloyd who is most famous for playing Emmett Brown of the Future Institute of Technology from the award-winning '80s movie powerhouse.

It is currently unknown whether or not Cyberchase will get cancelled or have episodes postponed or get renewed for another season because of this loss. It is also unknown if Gottfried recorded any more Digit voice lines for new episodes to air posthumous after his untimely death this Tuesday morning. Gottfried's loss also causes even more difficulty for the Disney Mouse House on whether or not new Aladdin content will be made or if he will get a new voice actor to replace him or if both sides will dedicate him with some kind of tribute credit or anything else like that.

Farewell Gilbert. Thank you for over 20+ years of a crime-fighting PBS powerhouse that has helped generations of children increased their mathematics skills as well as providing a comedic performance for one of the greatest Disney movie franchises of our generation. You will dearly be missed by everybody. :(

RIP
Gilbert Gottfried
February 25, 1955-April 12, 2022
