Don Rickles (2014 09 30)

The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson
Interview with Don Rickles
September 30, 2014

[@BladeRunner-td8be]

Even at 88 he's all there mentally and funny as hell as per usual. Standing ovation as he barely made it to his chair for the interview. One of the if not THE funniest comedians I've ever seen. People including me really really loved him. His act is so unusual. First of all not scripted, all off the top of his head. He honed and fined tuned the part of his brain that is not supposed to be seen or heard, at least not in public. And he made it uproariously hilarious.

[@zeldasmith6154]

Craig is brilliant. What always puzzled me was why he thought he had to have gimmicks like the weird robot, the two person horse, the mug and whatever else there was. A straight talk show would have sufficed because he was so sharp and naughty.

[@gidifihrer3966]

@@zeldasmith6154 he didn’t need to it was an ironic take on the classic late night

[@meirwise1107]

Don Rickles, unique, unequalled, fast, clean, sharp until the very end (90). Universally loved. Rip Mr Warmth.

[@SneaksBL]

He was so sharp till the end. A legend

[@jacquelinebodkins8161]

When he came on I had tears he looked so frail here. But was still as sharp as ever. Love this man even at ninety I wish he had lived a little longer.

[@marcbodi]

I really thought he’d toss the cane and say it’s a miracle I can walk … but not to be .. so brilliant a comic and sadly the end of an era

[@sterlingrock7769]

He was close to death, here he is 88 and he died at 90, so basically 2 yrs.

[@DerickFeigum-o8y]

It was hard to watch but his mind was sharp as ever and still funny as hell

[@mickeybrennan8775]

Love ya Mr Warmth 🏆 You will always be the Best 👍 Now where's my Cookie 🍪 You Canadians are hilarious! . . . Oh I'm sorry your an American but hey Don from where I'm from it's the same thing 🤣 . . . Alright Alright Alright when I hear the Bell I'll go to History 🔔 Mickey Australia 🦘

im Indonesian, and i love Mr Rickles very much..

[@tylertilwick6852]

I only discovered Don Rickles after he passed away, I didn’t know he was the voice of Mr. Potato-Heat in Toy Story. Now I’m HOOKED on his appearances on Johnny Carson, David Letterman, Craig Ferguson etc. When roasted people it was always in good fun and had class to it. One of kind🙏🏻!

The funniest man to ever draw breath. We love you Don. Thankyou

[@SavageSPK]

Rickles was good to the last drop.. Love ya and miss you man. No PC garbage allowed. Legend.

[@aguythatworkstoomuch4624]

Still as sharp as a box cutter at 88 years old! Don was the funniest guy ever! Always had a witty comeback in any situation right off the bat!

[@mickeybrennan8775]

Thankyou Mr Warmth for getting us thru this Pandemic 🤕

[@ricardosimon517]

Great show.

[@ciarandevaney385]

James corden far superior

[@jacquelinebodkins8161]

Don rickles said with therapy he would be able to not have a cane. Sadly I don't think he ever recovered enough to walk with out the cane. At some point he was already sitting on a appearance on letterman. Love him rest in peace ☮️ don rickles you made me laugh.

" A waitress goes...'is that the tip?" HAHAHAHAHAHA

7:30 Rickles executed that “Big Liar” so well 😆

[@ROWNECK911]

He's so fast! His replies

[@LionsGate1997PT]

7:58 I'm pretty sure Don was gonna say "I'll do the funny stuff, just stick to interviewing me" And I'm pissed he didn't let him say that

[@edwardanthony7283]

Don was hysterical & also dedicated to his schtick.

[@neryvaliente6380]

what an amazing comedian... !... 90% of comedians were jealous of his genius.

Don rickles and new late late show host james corden would be much better . A lot more witty than Craig

[@MrMalibu30]

I was his mailman in Malibu, early 80's....When I would see him walking around the plaza, he was walking a little hunched over, & he was in his 50's..... but very nice....

[@pinkangel1462]

Damn Craig let him make his jokes

[@thedallastexan]

That was Carson's secret genius too. Everyone knew it was Carson's show but he didn't have to remind anyone of that unlike Leno.

[@thedeepsouthaudit2645]

He is one of the best

[@joshueabelis473]

Idk if it helps or makes harder when ya try to help don walk. Id just have my hand around his shoulder his don he can handle him self. Craig is great though. When in the moment who knows im all talk

Always amazed by the charisma vacuum that is Craig Ferguson Made Rickles seem dull and uninteresting What a talent.

[@kristopherstaley289]

nothing more far from truth

[@DS-yg4qs]

That host is lost.

[@Snaakie83]

They were actually good friends and they play off each other pretty well. Remember Don went there while recovering from his operations, they were fond of each other. No one here was lost.

[@joshboy88420]

No Craig, James is not a talented man. You couldnt have been more wrong about him.

Both are considered “ old school “ now. This was late night comedy. And it was funny..

[@007carson]

Now late night sucks

[@caomhan84]

Cellulitis? Perhaps. Not that hard to pronounce, but unfortunately very common in older people and people with weaker immune systems. Often ignored, because we all ignore a pimple, right? Until it spreads. Fast. And before you know it you're in an emergency situation. It can put you in the hospital in as little as 4 days. That's why you have to get it treated as soon as you see a red, swollen area around a skin lesion. I've tangled with it enough to know.

[@BarcaBilo]

No it's necrotizing fasciitis - trust me you don't want to look up the pictures

[@deepstate6598]

After Conan every late night host has been pathetic, not worthy of hosting the old greats, absolutely pathetic

[@lindanicola]

Miss Rickles, fellow New Yorker; Craig quite less.

[@joet840]

Calling his audience paid hobos .That's probably how they see them. Without audiences they'd be nobodies.

[@cucurezenita]

Joseph T. It was just a joke

[@joet840]

It's still not something I'd say even as a joke.I don't think Rickles would even say that, too harsh.

[@jessica5497]

@@joet840 It's a joke (dark humor) where he satirized all the sick format that these show are, whoever watched it knows he was fantastic in that sense of satirizing and deconstructing. Craig called himself a hobo or a paid hooker sometimes.. the people who would watch him, enjoy the show and all these jokes, sometimes he would say he had offered chicken to them so they were there, but had no chicken hahah I was in the audience that day. nothing disrespectful, just humor. He is a fantastic guy with the audience.

[@750acfarednasty]

@@joet840 And that's one of the reasons you're not a comedian. Comedians have said way worse things about audiencemembers...
