Man what a Legendary Perform from Mr. Rickles

[@cvvv6166]

This is the DON, Don Rickles 😉👍 Thanks to KZbin to have this old material for the future generations to look back at and enjoy the Greats

0:43 The "shrug off" handshake lol Rickles is KING.

[@marycrow3939]

that was brutal on so many levels. so much is being revealed here. its almost like a clash of cultures.

[@mattagile4196]

Looking at Kevin started to laugh before Don came out in controllably. Kevin really was his biggest fan I think.

[@SLAYERSWINE1]

I am 58 years old & to this day I can watch Don Rickles at any time & LMAO. Loved that hockey puck😂

[@greco37]

What energy and wit at 84, amazing!! Pure entertainment.

[@Danimal77]

Idiot, he wasn't 84. He was in his late 60's in this interview. Leno was making fun of him.

[@jazzmanchgo]

Well, not quite. Rickles was born in 1926, so he wouldn't turn 84 until 2010.

[@AlexDeLarge1]

He did this all for laughs and yet he seems totally serious. Really great comedian.

[@jasondelvaux3036]

Rickles is a legend. Leno is a legend-killer.

[@MrMalibu30]

I am happy to say that I saw Mr. Rickles a couple of times...not performing, but in person..I was his mailman in Malibu, early 80's............

[@alternateimpact81]

A clown vs a legend. Hey Jay, get your shinebox!

[@benhur914]

The one that Rickles left at Jays mansion.

[@grantrants3728]

Jay is a great standup

[@kmslegal7808]

Jay has a lot of nice toys

[@sidvyas8549]

Jay never had the makings of a varsity comedian

[@gregwatson8219]

FU. AI!

[@Mainecracka]

He knew Leno was a complete joke and completely ruined the Tonight Show

[@jamespfitz]

His ratings would say otherwise

[@johngannon9954]

@@jamespfitz The same people voted for Donald Trump. Twice.

[@Phicheee]

@@jamespfitz Yeah, and the Macarena was once real popular too. Just because a lot of people like Leno, doesn't mean he's any good.

[@jamespfitz]

@@Phicheee And just because you don't doesn't mean he isn't. He had the number one show in late night for years. I think that qualifies as successful whether you and a handful of haters agree or not. The numbers speak for themselves, and they're saying you're wrong.

[@jamespfitz]

@@johngannon9954 Yeah, you're right, all 7 million of them are wrong, because all 1 of you says so. What would we do without you to set us straight?

[@rbeygarcia]

This is the first time the insults felt dead-serious from Rickles. I’m watching his face as they go to commercial. As I have on thousands of other talk shows before. He’s uncharacteristically frustrated, here. The Jewish cheap shot from Leno really took it over the edge. I’ve always heard Don’s a real softie offstage, so for Leno to visibly piss him off... Leno’s a grade-A, hall-of-fame douche.

[@murdermatics]

Leno is the physical incarnation of a Schmuck

[@adriande1]

It’s funny how Jay can’t keep up with the legendary Rickles.

[@idklol4197]

yeah like the chocolate factory thing that made no sense

[@chaoticorder5116]

is there anyone who can ever come close to matching rickles in the quick quips ...?! ... he absolutely shreds

[@Gravydog316]

Yeah, me, you broken doorbell.... ding dong! anybody home??

Craig ferguson I say

[@uripoutiga8071]

@@sashankbalaji6588 he didn't know where he was when Rickles was his guest

[@kennethkult7681]

ONE OF THE BEST EVER GOD BLESS DON RICKLES

[@jake1776]

So sad that audiences in the 1990s were already booing hilarious ethnic comedy, but if you watch Don Rickles on Johnny Carson in the 1970s, people were rolling in the aisles at the same kind of jokes. The country has been destroyed for a long time now.

Be Advised : When you're in the company of Sinatra if there's a rolling log you pick it up and put it back in the fireplace otherwise he takes your name and beats up your aunt.

[@Evan.Arapis]

Rest In Peace Don,thank you for all the laughing years of entertainment!
