Don Rickles Gets Upset About His "Casino" Role | Letterman

[@trevorberridge6079]

Don Rickles seemed to never have a moment when he was lost for words. He was sharp as a ninja sword right to the end. A force of nature. Verbally he had the energy of Robin Williams and the creativity to match. A fearless comedy legend.

[@corpcapt2583]

uh, look up the time Carson called him out for breaking his cigarette box...loss for words then. funny stuff

[@billkarmetsky4003]

But was he ever really funny? Not to me. Ever. Williams was just hectic, a manic. Became very unamusing fast. Bill Hicks was a real comic Letterman gave the cold shoulder to. How about that?

[@RichardKoenigsberg]

Much greater than Robin Williams.

As a 29 year old, I wish I had Letterman, Carson and Snyder for my late nights. Love Rickles, he made fun of everyone, religion, race, you name it. And at the end everyone loved him. I can watch Rickles for hours. Just saw a 98 special he did, where he held a glass in honor of Dean Martin, breaks my heart, he outlived them all.

[@fille00100]

23 y/o here, I feel the same. What a treat to be able to see these guys on the tele every night.

[@jr2904]

Same, 34 here. My young nephew is super into watching VHS on a CRT right now, he loved watching the Dean Martin roasts. He's 12 and it's fascinating to watch him being obsessed with old technology lol.

Don was on a roll, an egg roll. There's nothing like live TV. They don't make them like that anymore. No script. They just feed off each other and the audience. Great talents.

Conan was OK , with his interactions with his staff being far better than his sitting behind desk stuff. His bits with Sona and Jordan are the best.

Are you kidding me?!! Rickles was on fire that night. I am surprised he didn't drop his pants and fire off a rocket. Why can't we have a generational supply of Rickles...

[@ev6558]

Because zoomers are too sensitive for insult comedy.

I used to dislike Rickles when I was young because it seemed like his whole shtick was putting people down. Now that I'm older and I can perceive the talent that goes into comedy, I am picking up some of the genius that is Don Rickles. I guess the thing I pick up the most is the lighting-like response and the varied catalog of come-backs he has makes him a great entertainer.
