You can see the genuine love between these two...I remember reading when June died , Johnny died within a year of her passing...the loss was too great for him I think.

[@lindashelley3635]

ian1patterson Oh yes, the way they looked at each other when June was singing it was just like for the two of them there was suddenly no-one else in the room. I know the cynics will mock, but that was just so romantic.

[@reealitychick]

Tommy-- right on... he knew when to crack a funny and bring in some laughs and break the uneasiness..

[@danhermon4922]

Uh, maybe not here but I saw him totally bananas on both the Mike Douglas and Merv Griffin shows, actually much funnier than most of his Carson appearances because the producers would just let him take over, on Mike Douglas he would often be a co-host as they always had so he had far more license to let loose, and Merv Griffin was the best straight man for him because he totally got his humor and his own role, he was willing to be the object of insult, didn’t break character and knew just what to say to set Rickles off. Whereas Carson for all their friendship ran a tighter ship and usually got more limited results.

June Carter was also a gifted singer/comedienne from her 1950's solo days on the Grand Ole Opry, so Rickles knew she could roll with, great Opry clips of her elsewhere on KZbin, doing some shtick, then belting out a number! Of course her family were music legends going back decades earlier.

Don Rickles was a genius. He never screwed up.

[@NoOne-kr4jc]

He went to my county, and a lot of the big old funders donated to get Rickles over there. He tore into everyone. They were not expecting his brand of humor because they just thought of the old days as clean stuff, so a lot of them left, but a lot also stayed (obviously because they loved him!) He spotted a African American woman in the front and said something like My black daughter, why are you here? He unfortunately never came back, but he still lives on KZbin even if deceased!
