Don Rickles - R I P

Among the legendary guys who I though were just totally hilarious when I was a were George Carlin, Bob Newhart, Johnny Carson and Richard Pryor. Don Rickles was right up there I would watch him every chance I got and had his albums. He is one of the main characters in one of my favorite movies Kelly's Heros; as a character named Crapgame, a smart-mouthed shady wheeler dealer supply Sargent.

R I P Don Rickles

I get how he could be hard to take, but from what I've heard over the years he was a really kind man in real life.

    "Why don't you make yourself comfortable Frank, hit somebody." -- Don Rickles to Frank Sinatra when Frank is a late arrival to a Rickles concert. (As recounted by Dick Cavett)

    Another one of the great comics gone. We don't have many left. Jerry Lewis, Carl Reiner, and Mel Brooks are all late 80s-mid 90s now.
That exchange with Sinatra is what launched Rickles, Sinatra thought it was hilarious.

I've read many many tributes to him today. He was a very kind man off stage.

    A true master of his and only his style of comedy.
    An inspiration to myself and my best friend in grade school.
    Not only did we get laughs but taught us the most important
    thing any smart ass should have.The inherent ability to be able to
    talk their way out of an ass kicking from something we said.
    That was the true gift.Calling someone a dummy was easy.
    You named all but one of my true favorites when growing up.
    Jonathon Winters.
    He was great on two episodes of Get Smart!
I totally agree. Its easy to get into trouble with smart comments getting out is an art form.

Yes Jonathon Winters was a genius as was Robin Williams in his wake.

Rickles was Carson's favorite guest, he was on Carson more than any other guest. What you saw was both Rickles' s schtick and their rapport. He got his insult start by giving Sinatra a ribbing one night. Sinatra loved it and a career was launched..Both 'putz' and hockey puck were honors.

    You forgot Phyllis Diller and Totie Fields of the same era, although not "guys".

    John Pinette is gone way too soon, I loved him. He didn't live too far from us. I was supposed to go see him, but there was threat of a blizzard and I didn't want to get snowed in in Philly and I never got another chance after that.

    Another of the oldies, but not gone, Norm Crosby, remember him? He was always mixing up his words/malapropisms.
Joan Rivers too. Of course I remember Norm Crosby, IIRC he did Sullivan a lot.

He was the King of insulters and it was nearly and honor to be insulted by him.
