Such a great interview by Joan, don actually genuinely laughs at her jokes. If you watch a lot of his interviews he usually dominates the talking. So to see him actually laugh at something is rare.

Love that Joan just lets Don rip. I've seen other interviews w hosts who foolishly try to manage and compete w Don. Takes a true comedian to just follow the humor.

[@RubenAlvarado1996]

She learned it from Johnny. And she said it a few times, and I’m paraphrasing, “let you guest shine. You (the host) will be there tomorrow. But if you make your guest look good, you look good too!

Don Rickles is unique. He makes an insult sound funny and that's his unique style but never crossing the line of good taste and the appropriate. He's a genius, he's so fast and always funny.

[@raczstar]

Masters and legends of comedy. Even their names sound phonetically similar. Joan, Don. Rivers, Rickles. If you spoke their names you can interchange them with ease. King and Queen of Laughs.

[@zanohoriamazo1]

The mutual love & respect, add to that, brilliance. As they say in show business, ‘Timing is everything’? Don had it, always on, Joan cracking up,but when her daylight came, she was ready & effortlessly made Don laugh, maybe like no other. Of course he loved & respected that. Makes me wonder of Leno ever saw this vid. He tended to always be lookin to get his quips in. Brings to mind a night on his show with Robin Williams AND Tracey Ullman as guests. As Leno said, ‘I’ve entered into talk show hell’, because they were goin lightning speed & Leno could not keep up. Tracey declared about Robin, in her bright UK accent, ‘I’ve met my match!’ Well before Robin, there was Don Rickles. Nobody like him really. This was great!

Mr. Warmth is truly one of the all-time best. No one could match his energy with zingers during his heyday. I love insult comedy, and Rickles was a big influence. Not an easy style to get away with, but it was a badge of honor when one was a "victim" of Don.
