[@paulmcginn5146]

it is so funny to see don rickles, actually belly laughing. so other way around. johnny is so quick witted, this is just amazing.

[@MarthaWoodworth-f9s]

Don’t know which if those guys is funnier, but honestly have to start with Milton, then Don, then Johnny, whose “casual” monologues were priceless. Johnny’s imitation of Ronald Reagan was beyond hilarious. Don’s infectious, naughty, kid-like glee at making you laugh like crazy and Milton Berle’s insane self-confidence that he was the Master Of Comic Shtick -comedy gold. We don’t have anyone today close to these generous people who made hard times fun every night of the week. So glad we at least get to see them here on YT.

[@stuartmcnair2783]

Love watching these roasts because they all knew each other well and knew how to take a joke unlike the younger generation who get offended by everything.

[@barbarabonnette2705]

Johnny Carson’s timing is wonderful!

[@scooter5940]

I saw Milton Berle live in a dinner theatre in Maryland about two years later, in June of 1972. “Last of the red-hot lovers”. I was 8, and all I remember was the laughing. Funny man.

[@aftokratoraris]

I "found'' Don Rickles i think a year ago.I've seen ALL the videos on the youtube of or with him and not one time.I'm 35 from Greece and i feel its a great shame that so many people don't know english well enough to understand the jokes and the spirit of what is happening and what was this guy is all about.I am so happy i found him,but at the same time it's so disappointing when you realise, that guys like him is one in a million years and even more disappointing is the level of ''humor'' we see today.It's sad that as we getting better in every aspect of sience ,we (as humanity) are deteriorating to everything that has to do with real inspirational things,like art.These guys was not professionals, they where just themselves.And when yourself is so amazingly beautiful, it's then, when you can be idolized by a guy that was born 80 years after you,in an other country that don't even speak well your language.Don should be an idol don't only about how great comedian he was, but also for the fact that he was the most hummble person you could find.Idol and myth.One of the greats.On the Parthenon of paradise (if there is such a thing) there syrely is a chair that says its name.DON RICKELS.

[@marshallhosel1247]

I can never get enough of these roasts.

[@NoellaScott]

Don and Johnny both had incredible humor that aged so well. I was born long after this aired, and never watched a single episode of the Tonight Show with Johnny live, but I get all their jokes and think they're hilarious.

[@richardharrington1082]

You gotta love this Era of entertainment.

Don had no problem insulting. But he ALWAYS finished w admiration and love

[@radzifzakaria3785]

Berle is rickles "guru".. but rickles made berle way of giving jokes of roasting into the next level of comedic genius..

[@newwavepop]

it is kind of adorable how eager and excited Rickles was to get a what for from everyone.

[@richarddelgado8530]

Rickles could be so insulting yet people loved him, now that's class. He never hurt anyone though. No one today compares to Rickles. 🥰🌹

[@stuartmcnair2783]

That is because today people are way too sensitive and get easily offended.

[@mwhitehall889]

That's for sure.

[@jmason2838]

Rickles made Dom Deluise cry because he was harassing him about his weight .. I have it on one of those Dean Martin Show' d.v.d. s..not kind at all that time.. just my humble opinion..

Milton Berle, Henry young man, don tickles, Johnny carson all the great stars never again in our lifetime!

[@christopherporter2459]

Lol don tickles

[@sfcmp7005]

I was just saying the other day, they don't have comedy like this anymore. This was real comedy! BTW, Don's prediction did come true! George C. Scott did win the Oscar for Patton. Of which he declined to accept, because he felt every actor was unique in their own way, and should not be compared to one another. Since this event happened in 1970, and the Oscar's for Patton were held in 1971, this was a true prediction on Don Rickles' part. I watched the Oscar's the night the award was not accepted, tax day - 4/15/71, Goldie Hawn announced it.

[@shaunygb4156]

"HEY GEORGE, IM TALKING!" gets me every time 😂😂

[@marct9221]

LOL - he just went right after him! that was relentless

[@MuzixMaker]

George Scott never laughed so hard. Piece of trivia, Jim Mulholland was a writer for Cavett, Carson, and Letterman. He also wrote “Oscar” and played the titular part. Also was a writer of the Dean Martin roasts.

[@Rob_Kates]

His resume is amazing, especially when you look at how long he worked in late night TV. Johnny was the king of late night hosts. I think Mulholland would be the king of late night writers. Peter Lassally would be the king of late night producers, working for Carson, Letterman, Snyder and Ferguson.

[@LivingBGLegend]

Classic Don Rickles , My favorite comedian. Never will he be replaced. 😂😂😂

[@MapleSyrupPoet]

"Someday, you may find yourself ...but it's not worth looking for" 😁😃

[@RWGish]

What's so amazing about Rickles was that nearly every other comedian has a well-prepared, well-rehearsed routine to showcase their talent. Not Rickles, he was ad-libbing from start to finish and was generally funnier than all of them. You can tell by the reactions of all the celebrities he insults that he was genuinely admired and respected.

[@newsforus9254]

Thats what amazing about Rickles, he never relied on scripts or cuecards unless obviously it was a movie or formatted tv show. He admitted once on Tonight Show, he doesn't tell jokes but talks to the people & here he let it go, even kid & cop in the audience got an earful.

I never met him in real life ; I have listened to the one LP my late dad had called “ Hello Dummy !”. I have listened to that record 100s of times and he still makes me laugh out loud! He is a classic and a class act all the way. I have read his autobiography as well. He used to be on a TV show called “ CPO Sharkey “ funny as all heck.

@@rodbrunet4813 I go back to Father Knows Best, Leave It to Beaver, The Donna Reed Show, Lassie, My Three Sons, LIVE TV with Milton Berle, etc. I'm most likely older than you...I was born into the brand new invention of television...we were infants together. IMHO...both. Also, the world was much more wholesome then. Bad things always occurred but it was accepted to be unacceptable. Today anything goes and the morals are in the gutter and it shows in entertainment. Unfortunately, the world is unraveling.
