I saw him a few times and knew where he insulted the audience so sat in one of the two areas he targeted. He had me get up and go to the back of the theatre and when I was far enough away he proceeded to hit on my girlfriend. The other area was in the middle section, right side near the isle, 2nd or 3rd row, he’d get volunteers from that area to join him on stage. My plan was to get in that section the next time he was in town but sadly he passed away. So much fun.

Don wasn't truly angry, but just gave the crowd what they wanted. Most people didn't know that Don Rickles was one of the kindest, supportive, and decent human beings in comedy history.

Rickles smiling at Leno at the very end says it all. The respect was there. Two professional comedians trying their best to entertain and Leno was happy to let comedic insult master Rickles take center stage. Too many people here thinking there was all this underlying animosity with Rickles hating Leno, etc. If Rickles hated Leno, he would not have gone on his show.

Leno doesn't know how to interview Conan does it best

[@matthewrock4725]

Even if he didn't like him, using the brand of the TS is still possible for career

[@sicboi]

wow Don was brutal. his disdain for Leno and his show is clear

[@gallery7596]

He wasn't any nicer with Johnny and Ed. This is just Don doing his act.

[@billgateskilledmyuncle23]

Didn't you see them smile at each other right at the end before the commercial break?

[@bgonza2]

Bryan Jones Bryan, just curious what exactly do you know about Mexico or Mexicans?

[@krieger_1386]

I don't have any special place for Leno, but out of all of his late night talk show appearances I feel like Leno fought back the most. I don't know how Rickles felt towards Hosts that fought back or hosts that took it all. I will say, though I don't see the disdain, that being said Rickles jived the most with Carson and did good with Letterman. I feel like on Leno and 90's Conan, his appearances were hindered with hosts trying to find their place...

[@hav2win]

You don't have a clue about the Don Rickles act.

[@nevermorenovelist]

Asking Jay Leno to go toe-to-toe with Don Rickles is like asking a toddler to hold back a hurricane. The chin never stood a chance. Also, Rickles for me is proof of the axiom, "You don't know what you've got 'til it's gone". I'm so bummed that I didn't figure out who Rickles was until after he died, and I grew up watching Carson! What a wit.

[@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

[@r2gelfand]

I have watched a lot of Rickles and have never seen him so wound up.

[@DeuceBoyBilly]

His part in Dirty Work as the manager was one of the best!

[@kyokogodai-ir6hy]

The audience was lame. They just didn't seem to understand Don.

[@ShinerBockGirlz]

lame crowd...he was on fire!!!

[@notsosilentmajority1]

I'm glad I didn't grow up with this political correctness generation(s). They don't understand when a joke is truly a joke. I wish Don Rickles were still alive today just to watch him entertain again. God Bless his soul.

[@ElGranSanto]

Had a perpetual smile from beginning to end. This was an absolute riot.

[@markstein1916]

Newhart said "Where's my telephone, where's my telephone?".... the audience didn't get that one either. Lot's of Don's rapid-fire jokes went unnoticed and unappreciated. RIP Mr. Warmth!

[@jazzmanchgo]

Yeah, that crowd was mostly too young to remember Newhart's classic stand-up telephone routines.

[@jamespfitz]

@@nevermorenovelist 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.

@@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?

[@tellyfanatic]

First thing's first I love Don's comedy, I noticed how the audience reacted to his racist jokes go back to his heyday and audiences were dying laughing big change.

[@mattagile4196]

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

[@DGL67]

People who say this is racism clearly don't know the definition of racism. Is it offensive to some people? Yes, so watch something that doesn't offend you. The KKK is racist, Neo- Nazis are racist. Don Rickles wasn't racist, he is a comedian making fun of stereotypes.

[@soundmiami]

I had the chance to work for both of these guys on several different occasions and off stage they were both two of the nicest people I ever got to work for. Perfect gentlemen to the staff, crew and fans. But yes on stage Don could be brutal and was even more so in his prime. His mind was like a steel trap. Here he is falling back on some old stereotypical bits. After all he is 85 but he is still pretty quick. The weird part was back in the day people would pay a big premium to get front row seats because it was widely known he did his caustic ad libs only about the people sitting in the front row. They paid extra to be publicly humiliated by Don? I never understood that part. But for the crew who had to do 8 shows a week we loved Don because it was a different show every night.. Jay is what you see is exactly what you get.. very generous as he is here, feeding Don the set up and taking the hits.

[@karsten9895]

Interesting background information. Thank you.

[@krusyaldabaoth9564]

Well to be fair, this isn't Don at his most brutal. It was obvious that Jay was making sure he was being the wing man to Rickles' humor that was why by the time the so called band had to play some music and Rickles was building up momentum - the crowd of the time could accept the sensitive jokes but Jay didn't have to take any hits at all. You should see the talk show wars when Kimmel was on Leno. That was Leno taking hits. Jay just introduced the audience here to a comedian that poked fun at the audience. That's my hypothesis why you pay Don to be publicly humiliated. He was never a brutal comedian so when you hear his jokes it was like you were paying to be roasted for free. There was little malice on his part. All his so called brutal jokes don't come off like he has an agenda against you. It was good fun unlike the more modern comedians who'll really try to get at you just to create these big laughs at the expense of a person's belief.

[@cp3190]

ffs he wasn't even 70 when this interview took place.

[@scottyboy3565]

Actually Leno is stepping all over his act, it's clear they have real beef. And knowing how much of an ass Jay Leno is, it's no suprise.

[@seditiouswalrus]

Jay Leno is a passive aggressive fuck.

[@JPGtampa]

You can literally see the softening of society. In the 60s and 70s, his ethnic jokes would've killed. Here he is in the 90s and the ethnic jokes are landing about 50/50. Nowadays, forget about it. Lisa Lampanelli was the last to pull it off.

[@DrPhil-kx3ci]

This was almost painful to watch. The crowd definitely didn’t really know Don.

[@dontayedaniels5710]

Bill burr does this stuff all the time.

[@JPGtampa]

@@dontayedaniels5710 Yes but his style is a little different. He always circles back around to a self-deprecating theme. Rickles and Lampanelli, however, made the ethicity-based "cut" the core of the joke. But the ethnicity in question could laugh at themselves along with everyone else. It takes skill to carefully craft and word a joke in the just right way to accomplish that.

[@jam13rocks]

@@JPGtampa society changes. It’s not “getting softer”, it’s just different. Comedians will always joke about fucked up shit and will always do fine. It’s just what that fucked up shit will be is different than that of the previous generation

HOLY SHIT!!!! Man this is one of the rare times when someone comes in and lights up the host, the audience and the whole room. Leno looks lost here & the audience couldn't keep up. Funny shit. The next time Leno got hit hard like that was when Jimmy Kimmel read the riot act on him when Jay fucked over Conan for The Tonight Show. Rest In Paradise Mr. Rickles.
