Don Rickles Interview on The Charles Grodin Show (1996)

#charlesgrodin #donrickles #charlesgrodinshow
A 70-year old Don Rickle, entertains host Charles Grodin during an interview on The Charles Grodin Show (CNBC) in 1996. The difference of styles and personalities of both these celebrities makes for a good interview: Their dry-wit & sarcasm clash.
#donricklesinterview
Don Rickles (1926 - 2017) was an American comedian and actor known for a cheerfully belligerent brand of humour that relied heavily on ad-libbed insults and broad cultural stereotypes.
Charles Grodin is an American actor, comedian, author, and former television talk show host. Grodin began his acting career in the 1960s appearing in TV serials including The Virginian. In the 1970s he moved into film acting, including playing the lead in The Heartbreak Kid (1972) and supporting roles in Catch-22 (1970) and Heaven Can Wait (1978).
Grodin co-starred alongside Robert De Niro in the classic action comedy Midnight Run (1988), and played George Newton in the 1990s Ivan Reitman-produced comedy franchise Beethoven. He made frequent appearances on The Tonight Show and The Late Show.
Grodin has won several acting awards, including American Comedy Award for Funniest Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture for Dave, Best Actor at the 1988 Valladolid International Film Festival for Midnight Run. He was nominated for Golden Globe Award for Best Actor - Motion Picture Musical or Comedy for The Heartbreak Kid in 1972. He also shared a 1978 Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Writing for a Variety, Music or Comedy Program for his work on The Paul Simon Special. In the mid-1990s, Grodin retired from acting to become a talk show host on CNBC and in 2000 a political commentator for 60 Minutes II.

[@freddylopez5889]

I'm so used to him being in his mean character when at David Letterman's show that it's weird to see him smiling and laughing.

[@bodijisattva9333]

You think he was mean on Letterman. He tore Johnny Carson apart every time he was on the Tonight Show. Charles Is the only person Carson couldn't handle.

[@ericcriteser4001]

[@angelthman1659]

I realized I never really heard Charles Grodin laugh. He always tried to keep a straight face in interviews to maintain his comically eccentric personality. Here he can't help but to let go and laugh.

[@georgescharf2486]

Enjoyed him on The Tonight Show !!

[@farnumbp]

Great interview

[@realRainz]

Never new one of the best comedy actors of all time had his own show... wow Charles Grodin

[@sahej6939]

Grodin is giddy with Rickles; we miss our old timers

[@davidmann405]

Grodin: "Now some of your biggest hits were two pictures particularly that I remember you from were 'Beach Blanket Bingo' and 'Muscle Beach Party' (and as a bonus, Grodin mentions that Scorsese directed 'Beach Blanket Bingo'!). This is at 14:30. 😂 Grodin was such a hilarious guy. I've gotten kinda' addicted to watching his appearances on the Johnny Carson show too. I've gotten a lot more familiar with his work in recent years: 'Real Life'; 'The Heartbreak Kid'; 'Louie', 'Midnight Run'. Very fine actor, and a comedic genius onscreen!

[@watchman1178]

Don Rickles was only 9 years older than Charles Grodin, but I would've sworn there was 20 years age difference between them (I could've sworn Charles says he's 50 here, but he's really 60).

[@StevenTorrey]

I turned 76 just this past October 2021, all of a sudden arthritis pain became more noticeable. Turning 60 was like walking into a glass wall: couldn't stay awake at 7 PM, had to take a late nap if I wanted to watch 8 PM television. But 76, the arthritis pain became most noticeable. We say age is just a number, but really, you think 76 is old and you end up acting and thinking like you're old.

[@foto21]

I like Grodin as a host. A lot of times the a**hole networks don't give hosts long enough to get into a groove! Rickles, of course, is the GOAT, and off on his own island (or iceberg) of comedy forever. No one else did it like he did, but it does show the potential of standup to allow the creation of any persona or style you want.

[@jeffw1267]

Grodin would let people talk when the subject got serious.

Yikes😬!!!! Charles Grodin was a tremendous actor but was a horrible talk show host. As far as Mr.Warmth….he’s just the best!!

[@jimgoad7702]

Grodin was one of the best talk show GUESTS of all time. Check him out on Letterman or Carson. I was honestly surprised. I just thought he was this dull, nondescript actor until only a couple weeks ago and have been binging on his appearances. The ongoing shtick is that he doesn't want to be there and is irritated by the interviewer, and he's brilliant at it.

Midnight Run was a fun Movie. Grodin and Deniro worked so great together.

[@bigalexg]

Princess Margret, sister of Queen Elizabeth II? Don seems to imply he thought Elizabeth was Anne's mother ? ("She's talking about the Queen of England ") Anne must have meant the Queen mother, who was Queen when the king was alive, but sure sounds like Don was thinking of the Elizabeth II, the queen at that time.

Midnight Run is one of the best movies.
