Semi Mandela effect
I don't remember him dying, but I had no idea Don Rickles was still alive. The same was true of Chuck Berry, Who knew he wasn't dead. Or Barry Manilow announcing he is gay. He never admitted that before now? |

Damn
His roast of Frank Sinatra. Don Rickles Roasts Frank Sinatra |
|
|
I saw him and Joan Rivers in a live show many years ago. Probably one of the best shows I've ever seen. Not what I expected. They did their normal bits but also sang and danced. Complete entertainers.
I also remember him on Carson. One of the best and will be missed. |
|
RIP Mr. Rickles you were truly great. Saw him 6 months or so ago on Kimmel and still sharp and funny as heck. I loved the "maybe he's a Republican" line in Kelly's Hero's, such a classic.

If I was a talented artist, I'd have a mural made of him being embraced by his friends in heaven, with a stage in front and it'd look like a heavenly roast...
|
|
Am I the only one that is now caught in a youtube spiral of clips of him in roasts and on TV? I can't stop laughing, man we have lost a lot. That generation was great for a lot of reasons; real entertainment among them.
I wish someone would re-air Johnny Carson every night, late night, up against the retard Jimmy's and Colbert's that are on there now. |

My favorite.
Funniest comic that ever lived. Saw him live at least a dozen time and was honored he once made fun of me True story, we were ring side at a show in vegas with another couple, he focuses on out table and starts with the other guys wife: you got to be a jewish princess, it is 95° outside and you are wearing fur. without missing a beat he turns the guy and says if her father dies, what kind of business are you unemployed from? Turns to me and says you look italian,right, I nod yes, and he says sure this scmuck has anice suit but his undershirt has spagetti sauces stains, Then he turns to my wife and stares and says sheriff know working the strip again. I almost pissed my self I laughed so hard. |
|
He was the funniest stand up comic that I've ever seen in person. RIP

Rickles and Rodney are my two favorite old school comedians.
Always quote Rickles small spot in "Dirty Work" Looks at Artie Langs(?) gut, "Hello ice cream!" |
|
|
He looked like my uncle Bill.
When I said that to my uncle, he was pissed. My response was that then he looked even more like Rickles. My aunt thought that was hilarious. |

Mad Johnny Carson Tracks Down Don Rickles on Set of "CPO Sharkey" on Johnny Carson's Tonight Show |
|
It was sadly expected He was the last of the great ones, his roasts were off the chart funny. Goodnight Crapgame.
|
|
Saw him in Vegas with my family when I was a kid. Front row. He was the only man EVER to make my dad blush. One of the funniest night of my life.
RIP |
|
My Father liked Don Rickles, and and of course, Johnny Carson. He was born in 1925, and has outlived them both.
I'm seeing Dad for dinner at his home tonight. You can bet I will hug Pops extra well and tell him how glad he's still with us! |

First time Rickles was working a club when Sinatra walked in. He sees Sinatra from the stage and hollers at him, "Hey, Frank! Make yourself at home. Hit somebody!"
Legend has it Sinatra rolled with laughter & they were friends ever since. In fact, when Sinatra was asked to perform at Reagan's Inaugural dinner, he agreed ONLY if Rickles could perform as well. What was so funny to me was how Rickles would rag on Sinatra about his Mafia connections and catch no shit about it. |
|
He was incredibly funny without resorting to using profanity as a crutch.
|
|
I realy enjoyed his comedy but to use one of his lines
"I thought that guy would never die...." I'll miss you Mr. Tickles! |
