Letterman on NBC was pure gold. How that magic disappeared when he moved to 11:30pm has always bummed me out :(

[@Buelligan88]

Oh... my.... God... this is stuff you'll never see today on network television. He's chewing the carpet up, wrecking the place! He's making fun of black people, white people, Jews... everything. This man is a national treasure... a real American.

Hiram Bullock, a class act of the highest order, I saw him with his band performing in the 90s. Awesome guitarists and singer, and, like Don Rickles himself, Hiram Bullock was a genuinely nice and funny man in his own right. R.I.P. both of them legends. Thank you very much for posting.

Don Rickles was the best. Saw him at the Stardust in either 07 or 08. During his routine he sat right next to my wife, looked at me and said, "The pictures are that bad"? One of the highlights of my life.

Watching this in 2017 after Rickles passed away. This is great stuff. Classic.

[@ExtremePainGames]

One of the most compelling inteviews of all time. One of my fav Don Rickles moments ever and also see Lettermans face at the end when Don should genuine interest in Daves success and longevity. This my friends in my opnion was Don is rare perfection mode. I mean hes always 99% but this was start to finish sharp and his brain firing furiously on all cylinders. Really special. Loved it.

[@gkogko3704]

I sure miss Rickles. And Dave. Rickles lashes out at a black guy in the band and you think "Whoa, that's racist.." then he turns to Letterman and eviscerates him ten-fold with an equally funny brutality and you think "Whoa, the black guy got off easy." Rickles was a machine gun spraying insults every which way. But the truth is Rickles was one of the kindest people in show business.

[@Salieri21]

Gko Gko Does Don goes after Dave’s race though? I only notice him mentioning color when it’s black.

[@SewerRatID]

@@Salieri21 you're dead wrong. He actually does. Maybe not in this segment but many, many times he made fun of Letterman's whiteness by calling him "Indiana Wonderbread" or just "Wonderbread" and telling him he can't be a Jew because when he takes a shower his body is "cream white." He spared nobody.
