Don Rickles on Carson w/ Burt Reynolds 1972

[@SwordsmanRyan]

What’s with the music?? That wasn’t on the original airing. Did you steal this off DVD?

[@mateowannacomedyremasterz6605]

Yes. I “stole” it. I bought the dvd in order to mine it for the best quality performances. Then I spent at least 3 hours remastering the audio, & re-framing the video scene by scene to modernize it for a younger generation that looks at non wide screen as outdated & uninteresting. The same way I looked @ black & white content when I was young, & the way you looked at silent films when you were young. So then I take the video I stole & I upload it & KZbin & the Network / whoever owns the copyright split the ad revenue. The reason it happens automatically is I don't deface the video with my dumb name over the front, my dumb head reacting to the video, commenting on the video. I don't make videos that play during the performance about about my channel, give me a thumbs up, send me money or anything else people do to attempt to make it content I can monetize it. I do this to preserve content I love. Out of over 180 appearances from Rickles on the Tonight Show w/ Carson less than 50 exist in the public record. I believe these kinds of videos are part of American History & they are not being preserved. Most of The Dean Martin Show is being scrubbed from history. I am on a high horse, yes. But I've never made anything from this. I don't think I should. I believe the copyright owners deserve residual income on this stuff, but wish they would treat appearances at least from comedians & performers like art & attempt to preserve them. I also remaster Ayn Rand & Milton Friedman debates for the same reason. This is my selfish desire to get my nephews to like the same things I like.

Yep ! I was 65 and playing character's in mid 40s to early fifties ! I am 75 now . Food quality is not as good today . The way we eat has .

[@MikeSmith-rh5gc]

I was thinking the same thing. I’m 47 & I do not look that old. I still go out with women in their mid 30s & I’m not rich. Maybe 40 is the new 30

[@mikebtrfld1705]

I was 23 in 1973. When Rickles was on Johnny Carson he had me literally on the floor laughing.

[@ljdgooners9041]

killersushi99 A very blessed life! Don Rickles was just pure class! I’m 26 and most of my generation would be so uptight with his race jokes. But Don was clearly not a racist man! His jokes were hilarious, and the key word there is JOKES! Because that’s what they were! The racist people were the ones who enslaved races, and even after slavery, the racists were the ones who refused blacks at job opportunities, refused them at hotels, restaurants etc!! They are the racists!! Not great comedians like Don!!! People knew how to joke in his era! Everyone has become too paranoid, self conscious and far too political nowadays 🙄 I cannot stop watching Don Rickles, Nipsey Russell, Dean Martin, Foster Brooks etc because they are all very funny and knew how to joke with each other!! The Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts are just filled with laughter, unlike the Comedy Central roasts, which are painfully awkward at times 😩

[@incidentalist]

@@ljdgooners9041 Yea, comedy is dead now unfortunately!! Losers get offended about anything and everything. EVEN THOUGH THAT'S THE DAMN POINT SOMETIMES!!

[@briandonovan1584]

Rickles was brilliant. I never saw him live but always wanted to. Plus all the shit talking and sexual innuendo is lost today. Its all too over the top and/or preplanned. Rickles was "The Merchant of Venom" but he was the sweetest, kindest man in the world. Don't make em like that anymore I'm afraid.

[@stevetemple8826]

@@incidentalist Yes comedy is dead now. However since we don't like that we can do something about it. And we'd better do something about it before it's too late.

[@jeanbiroute]

@@incidentalist People often forget that comics are comming from court jesters. they were ment to make jokes where it hurts. Today they are nothing alike anymore

I remember the time Johnny told Rickles, you’ve had more pilots go down than the Japanese Air Force.

[@williamwhite2113]

Rickles was the best. He always gave Johnny props for his career. He could poke fun at others but wasn't afraid to laugh at himself. RIP Don, Johnny, Burt, Buddy, Ed, and Carol. Gone but not forgotten.
