If you put it into fridge without a lid on top it should be okay(do the smell test though). In the future in order to cool down large pots of hot liquids, fill one of your sinks with water and ice, and stir the stuff every once in a while, this is the method in the business.

It will be fine. I left mine out on the stove Sat for the game longer than that and had a bowl when i was wasted after the game.

I saw this on Restaurant Impossible.
There is a safe temperature zone and you only have a certain window of time below 140 and above 39 (not sure if exactly right).
So, if you were in a restaurant you'd have to throw it out.
If its me at home, I eat it.

I do this a lot when I'm in a hurry for things to cool a bit faster. I don't do it with gumbo because my pots are so big and heavy that I have a hard time moving them and sometimes have to put half in another pot to cool just so I can carry them to the fridges to get them in.
I know folks who put ziploc bags of ice in the middle of a pot sort of like the frozen liter bottles, but several have spoiled theirs that way, so be careful about that.
I never put the lid on the gumbo when I put it in the fridge for the first time.
