"I got some good news today. Coach Sandusky agreed to be a clown at my kid's birthday party," he joked.Â

But what else can be expected from a man whose "Aristocrats" joke lasts close to 10 minutes? (Search for the video on YouTube at your own risk.)Â
Gottfried's act was a blend of current events-related humor and a grab bag from his classics off of his DVD, aptly named Dirty Jokes.Â
But behind the scenes, Gottfried is a much quieter, humble man, who was willing to pose for photos with hundreds in attendance. He even shared a personal message with Patch, addressed to the people of Baltimore. (See video.)Â
