#franksinatradonrickles
DON RICKLES (1926 - 2017) was an American stand-up comedian, actor, and author, known especially for his insult comedy. His film roles included Run Silent, Run Deep (1958) with Clark Gable and Kelly's Heroes (1970) with Clint Eastwood, and beginning in 1976 he enjoyed a two-year run starring in the NBC television sitcom C.P.O. Sharkey. A headline performer at Las Vegas hotel-casinos and peripheral member of the Rat Pack via friendship with Frank Sinatra, Rickles received widespread exposure as a frequent guest on talk and variety shows, including The Dean Martin Show, The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson and Late Show with David Letterman.
FRANK SINATRA (1915 - 1998) was an American singer, actor and producer who was one of the most popular and influential musical artists of the 20th century. He is one of the best-selling music artists of all time, having sold more than 150 million records worldwide.

Saw Rickles a year before he passed . Sharp as a tack and very humble, had nothing but high praise for Frank throughout his show.

wow, a classic you saw

Don and Frank should have made movies together in both comedy and drama as they had excellent chemistry and acting skills.

Wouldn't want someone as pure as Don, tainted by pretending his whole life. It's the reason Hollywood losers lose connection with reality so fast.

[@NoOne-kr4jc]

Dean and Frank were better. I am a tremendous Rickles fan but Don repeated his act a lot so Sinatra was only good for a once in a while thing. I do know that Sinatra and Rickles toured together. I also know they went on trips together. Rickles kept everyone laughing and smiling. Sinatra loved having that around.

[@vinyltapelover]

@@NoOne-kr4jc "...Don repeated his act a lot... " Respectfully, consider that Don, as many entertainers, past and current including Sinatra would "repeat" or use some, or a lot, of what of their "old" or patented material, songs etc. They would seldom experiment or try out new material on a crowd of folks paying good cash to be entertained for an evening. Besides, you had "humorists" and comedians. Humorists took daily life events, current events, topical subjects and presented them in a... humorous fashion. That is why their shows might be looked upon as always fresh with no "repeats". Don Rickles was not a humorist, just a humble, loving warm, giving comedian.

[@RaymondCore]

My favorite Don Rickles story about Frank Sinatra: Don was at a nice restaurant, with a beautiful young woman he wanted to impress, when he saw Frank at another table. So he went over to Frank's table and asked Frank that when he finished eating would he stop by Don't table and say hello to impress Don's date. When Frank finished, he stopped bay Don's table to say hello but Don interrupted him saying, "Frank, can't your see we're eating?".

It always seems like people are very nervous or awestruck, even some of the biggest names in show business, when Sinatra walks into the room. Even Johnny Carson seemed nervous when Frank was on the show. And he interviewed everyone.

Allegedly there was a lot to be nervous about. If you said the wrong thing by accident you might never be heard from again

[@danielsmith3914]

At the very least Frank was in league with the mob. Quite possibly he was high up to running one quietly. He RAN Vegas for years... The mob controlled Vegas.

I don't know if Frank had one friend in the world. Hangers-on, sycophants, toadies, high and low level employees, staff. He did try to surround himself with some of the world's most wealthy and influential men, but Frank was too crude to really fit in.

[@johnlappin5881]

Frank Sinatra was a great singer and a great man gone to soon 😢

[@gggggggg3542]

It's a great (and 100% true) story how the 2 of them became friends. Oh, ok I'll tell you, Sinatra was in a restaurant one night and coincidentally Rickles went in for a meal. Sinatra was in a foul mood and let it be known, when he got his meal, he really wasn't happy with the quality so he threw a tantrum, started shouting and tossed part of the crockery to the floor. Rickles looked up, and quick as a flash shouted "pass the ketchup Frank"........ Sinatra burst out laughing, and that was it, they remained friends until Sinatra died, just have a look at some of their interactions on other shows - - Rickles used to goad him about his "mafia" connections (which he didn't have), Sinatra thought Rickles was a comedy genius

[@santinodellacroce2079]

they actually met when Rickles was performing at a casino and saw Sinatra walking past and Rickles pointed and said "hey everyone its Frank Sinatra.... How you doin Frank please sit down, make yourself comfortable, hit someone" and everyone laughed including Sinatra. and Frank did have friends in the Mafia. Carlo Gambino and Anello Dellacroce dont just take pics and come backstage for anyone.

[@jtsharp6129]

Sinatra DID have mob connections. Sinatra is the man who got Kennedy elected. The Sands in Vegas was pretty much HQ for the Mob. The Sands is where Sinatra stayed. When they imploded The Sands, they said it was heavily reinforced for an "attack" when the other casinos at the time didn't. He may have said he didn't have "connections" but he did. Be warned though...some of his "friends" are still around.

[@tuckgraph]

"Don Rickles Surprised by Frank Sinatra..." Rickles: "I saw Frank backstage, you know what he said to me?" Maybe he wasn't all that surprised, but it was a nice gesture by an old friend, trying to give his buddy the rub on his new show. Those guys were class acts.

[@dabneyoffermein595]

yea, Sinatra could not carry the crowd, he was about as un-funny as they get....he had to have lines spoon fed to him from comedy writers. He did make a lot of money, which goes a long ways in comedy. They will laugh with you if you have wads of cash and a personal Cessna Jet. Everyone in the crowd knows how much it costs for the upkeep on the Cessna and annual inspection, so they open up their throats for Frank and give him the good stuff. He also had a beautiful home in California, almost as nice as Robert Conrads.
