Don Rickles Live At 5 1985

[@MrG00ny65]

I just love the laughter in the background. Don has the whole crew in fits. The best ever, sorely missed.

[@kencf0618]

I concur!

[@hypolyxa7207]

It is THE BEST when the crew cracks up. :D

[@chadporter5907]

Yeah for sure , the host blows

[@mitche5007]

So funny I agree 100% I love to hear it when the crew in the background are thoroughly enjoying the laughs :-)

[@CaesarDarias]

That’s Al Roker laughing out loud… before he went national.

[@mbyrd6713]

You know you’re great when the whole crew can’t keep it together. Rest well Mr. Rickles, you brought so many laughs to this world 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@TheProfessorpat]

I wish this interview could’ve gone on at least another 30 minutes… great chemistry between these two.

[@gerry-p9x]

Better than Carson. A hockey puck...😅😅

[@lennyanders1639]

Every time Don Rickles does a TV interview, the cameramen and stage people always crack up, that is the mark of a very funny man.

[@rigorodriguez62]

the mark of the best Comedian that ever lived you fool !!

[@massapower]

HOST is EXCELLENT playing along with the master RICKLES 😁✌

[@dougbrowne9890]

It was always best to let Don do his schtick and go with the flow. That is why he was so great with Johnny Carson. Never scripted.

[@fonso1030]

“Ours?” 😂😂😂 Rickles could kill with one word. RIP, Don.

[@cameronwitmer]

Yes! Always able to kill with one word. Very very few have that.

[@Viljane]

But you need a perfect timing to do that. And Mr. Rickels had that.

[@NoOne-kr4jc]

What did that line mean? I love a lot of his stuff but what did it mean?

[@fonso1030]

@@NoOne-kr4jc when he asked the host whether he was in the service, the host said yes. And Don asked him “ours?” as in our Armed Forces, and not another country’s.

[@NoOne-kr4jc]

@@fonso1030 Oh no. I knew that. Thank you, but I did not know if there was more to that reference if they used to tease ppl back then about going to the wrong side. I saw a Don Rickles Show episode, and this was during Vietnam. Rickles came out with a platoon of ppl on the show, and an Asian guy was there and he said ARE YOU SURE YOU'RE ON THE RIGHT SIDE??

[@sigmundfraud1068]

Hands down the best comedian ever

[@MrAnthonyVance]

Totally love Don Rickles -- God's Gift to Man. When I'm down, I listen to him -- and I laugh again.

[@donaldbricker625]

Amen. He can put a smile on any face!!

[@rosalindsey6841]

I love Don Rickles I wish. It's been able to see it in person but I seen him on these videos

[@HeaderOverEast]

Don was on such a roll here. One after another. Master of spontaneous comedy!

[@patrickdowling529]

Rickles was indeed a comedic genius. When Jack says he also served in the military during the war, Rickles comes up with the perfect snarky response: “Ours?”

[@ME-ck3kv]

Jack did a good job adjusting and continuing the interview while don did his thing they have good chemistry in my opinion

[@nicholasforan9105]

"What did you do during the war?" Don: "hid" 😂😂😂😂

[@TheIrishrogue68]

This ranks right up there with Don's funniest appearances on the Tonight Show.

[@navyguyinva]

Nobody owned a room like Rickles. RIP, you hockey puck.

[@krasnesanje6882]

Black belt in shopping, incredible! Don we miss you, RIP.

[@MaggillaKutz71]

You have to give Jack credit he knew exactly how to let Don shine ✨ and keep the interview going, he is right up there with Carson and letterman when it came to interviewing the master comic

[@SeveredLegs]

You're right. He truly was a fan of Rickles and understood his cadence. This was a really satisfying interview. It shows you that back in the day there was a lot of talent in these local areas.

[@patrickdowling529]

100% agree…this ranks in my personal Top 5 Rickles TV appearances. Just wish it could’ve gone on longer…

[@Bondek1996]

One of my fave Rickles clips. Classically relentless.

[@richardferreira7565]

Don and Host went back and forth. Greatest quick fast fun to watch R.I. P . Mr. Rickles

[@BrianJohnson_5026]

That was Al Roker who was laughing in the background w/ Su Simmons for WNBC Chanel 4 in NY

[@shakeandjake_1]

The way Don could adjust to each interviewer amazes me. Carson, Letterman, Leno, Ferguson, Conan, even Tom Snyder even though he had no audience in the studio

[@Silverpinstudios]

I think Jack handled himself well. These were the good ole days, Rickles is such a master at turning the table

[@sabio28]

"ours?" LOL, just one word....and I can't stop laughing.

[@dwayneturner9395]

I've seen so many comedians and I love so many of them. But Don will always be one of the best. Love was the backbone to his comedy and that's why he was so great.

[@robertriley1569]

Don was sharp and fast in this interview. The interviewer is the perfect uintentional strait man to Rickles

Hats off to Jack: he brought out the best in Rickles the same as Carson and Letterman used to do.

In 1985, when I graduated HS, I would've never thought that there would be a time when it looked like so long ago. Look at the age of everyone and the primitive style of the news. It's crazy how fast time goes. By the way, Don was in good form here. He always makes me crack up. He's sorely missed.

[@jordanabeaulieu2530]

What is Jack's last name?

[@JohnSmith-op1tc]

I counted 55 jokes from Rickles in 382 seconds, you can cut it down even further regarding Cafferty's introduction. One about every 6.5 seconds, with Don knocking it out of the park over and over. "There's a lot of Jewish people down there, so I just sell bread" a pearl among many there.

[@JorgeCat78]

FYI that's Al Roker all the way in the corner (did local weather for WNBC back in the day) cracking up at the jokes. Funny stuff!

When he said not Jackson heights, Elmhurst, which is now Colombia, nobody got that. That area use to be heavy Irish and Italian, and starting in the mid 60s alot of Colombians, including my mother moved into the neighborhood as the Irish and Italians were moving out. I grew up there in the 70s. By the mid 80s it was an ALL Colombian neighborhood and that's what Don meant by that line.

The difference between good comedians and brilliant comedians is that the former work hard to write and prepare their material for their acts. Brilliant comedians (ie, Rickles) dont need to do that, its all spontaneous and comes naturally.
