Oh... my.... God... this is stuff you'll never see today on network television. He's chewing the carpet up, wrecking the place! He's making fun of black people, white people, Jews... everything. This man is a national treasure... a real American.
Letterman was ALWAYS the closest thing to Carson. He will always be remembered as the last old school host. None of the new hosts have anything special.
"Where do you go to the beach out here? "its been about 15 years" this not an interview, just asked a question and the kid did 20 minutes on how he got started. "
I think my favourite part about Don is how many people don't realize he's a voice of your childhood. He was Mr. Warmth for a lot of people but he will always be mr potato head to me.
Don Rickles was the best. Saw him at the Stardust in either 07 or 08. During his routine he sat right next to my wife, looked at me and said, "The pictures are that bad"? One of the highlights of my life.
Hiram Bullock, a class act of the highest order, I saw him with his band performing in the 90s. Awesome guitarists and singer, and, like Don Rickles himself, Hiram Bullock was a genuinely nice and funny man in his own right. R.I.P. both of them legends. Thank you very much for posting.
Redlinesixtynine don was the last of that great generation of entertainers, shame he’s gone but Frank, Dean and Sammy Davis have got there old buddy back now!
@@harpoon_bakery162 Don't be so soft.The great thing about Don is that he made fun of everybody no matter their race,gender,religion or country.Unlike modern leftists,he didn't discriminate between anybody when it came to making fun of them as he treated everybody equally by equally insulting him.
@@cosmicwanderer891 i appreciate his humor. I guess it was cutting edge for his time. I suppose they weren't offended but since I wasn't there, I could not really know. I just remember seeing those roasts and every once in a while there were negative ohh, and aw's and disgruntled sounds but the people he was ribbing were laughing but at times you could tell it was a fake laugh.
@@christopherporter2459 Cause it is important to know why it is no longer like this. And obviously leftist ideology is to blame ( called Democrats or Liberals in the US.).
They laughed at blacks and blacks laughed along, they couldn't do much at that time. Now, when blacks are fed up, white people are complaining how come we can't insult blacks anymore. I am European white and not American, thank God!
I sure miss Rickles. And Dave. Rickles lashes out at a black guy in the band and you think "Whoa, that's racist.." then he turns to Letterman and eviscerates him ten-fold with an equally funny brutality and you think "Whoa, the black guy got off easy." Rickles was a machine gun spraying insults every which way. But the truth is Rickles was one of the kindest people in show business.
@@Salieri21 you're dead wrong. He actually does. Maybe not in this segment but many, many times he made fun of Letterman's whiteness by calling him "Indiana Wonderbread" or just "Wonderbread" and telling him he can't be a Jew because when he takes a shower his body is "cream white." He spared nobody.
He was, he made sure everyone was aware of their disabilities, shortcomings, failures, ethnicity, religion, creed, sexuality, age, financial status, status, political affiliations, loneliness, mistakes, foibles, infatuation, epistemological........
@@paddle_shift His going for the black guy in the band is plain unfunny though. Dumb negative stereotypes, crime, the harmonica?, I don't understand that, but the tone is racist. 'them the breaks'? fuck off.
One of the most compelling inteviews of all time. One of my fav Don Rickles moments ever and also see Lettermans face at the end when Don should genuine interest in Daves success and longevity. This my friends in my opnion was Don is rare perfection mode. I mean hes always 99% but this was start to finish sharp and his brain firing furiously on all cylinders. Really special. Loved it.
Great appearance of Don! After hearing about his death I had to watch him roast Frank Sinatra! Also him with Howard Stern on David Letterman show, and also Don on Howard Stern's Show! Don is doing a great show up in 😇heaven😇 now I bet! R.I.P. Don!
Just feel fortunate you're living now rather than later... in a hundred years after a dozen generations of PC whack jobs comedy will be strictly limited to that found under toilet seats, talk show hosts will be state mandated, and the priority of the day will be getting more solar shields up to keep snowflakes from melting... an then evaporating.
emansnas haha well in that sense, you're correct. but everything in our culture is like a pendulum in many ways. we'll swing back to non PC bullshit soon enough. it'll just take s couple more embarrassing years to get there
@@tHeXeKuter "it'll just take s couple more embarrassing years to get there" Sorry but have to say that's likely extremely unrealistically optimistic. Do you think PC is some sort of fad... like hula hoops, pet rocks and wearing one's jeans below one's ass crack? (Based on your use of "our culture" and other clues I'm going to assume you're American.) I'm going to step out onto a strong limb here and conflate PC (the kind we're talking about) with the Left. Thus PC defined: A tool used by the Left for the purpose of mind control to the end of indoctrination and maintenance of power. In the context of your use of "embarrassing"... how many people do you think actually are (embarrassed by PC)... say as a percent of the population... and of those few who are, what do you suppose their general age bracket is (and the ramifications of that) as opposed to the age bracket of those who either accept or outright embrace it? Have you ever watched a PBS children's program? Yes, it's extremely difficult to do (the manner of language and syntax are geared to very young children tuned to their generation). I forced myself to watch a few of these. One showed a bunch of kids whose main priority in life was chasing down a 'dangerous' plastic sack that the wind had picked up. Capturing this 'evil' thing over the course of the next 30 minutes was obviously worth risking life and limb for. In the end they did and were dubbed 'heroes'! The others I watched had equivalent messages. Do you think PBS is going away or will be changing soon? This liberal mind corrupting nonsense is perpetuated through public schools and certainly in the majority of universities. Essentially it's the same methodology used by Mao... how long has Chinese communism been around. Essentially it's the same methodology used by virtually all religions... how long have they been around. How long did the dark ages last. Oh sure, we have mass communications now... but does that help or hinder... what percent of mass media do you think is liberal by nature. The stakes are very high for those invested in liberalism/PC, and that includes many corporations who find it beneficial. Well, I could go on but hopefully you're thinking again. Yes eventually change may come to pass, but that's not going to be anytime soon. In the meantime, what gets destroyed. Don't think you can laugh away serious threats; historically that error's been made numerous times, with disastrous results.
He was racist. He was a very funny guy, but you enjoyed those parts so much because you are too. Your generation’s dying out though. After watching several of his performaces on Carson, the Dean Martin toast and later on Letterman/Leno and younger guys, he really just did the same stuff over and over. People just liked his rudeness couched with the niceties at the end.
F Villa no i enjoyed it because i know comedy doesn't have boundaries, thats what makes it funny. you on the other hand probably have a nifty checklist of what can and cant be funny without even hearing the comedy. if its not for you its not for you, but to insinuate Rickles was a true racist and by proxy i am too is a sad simplification made too much these days. all context and nuance have been abandoned in place of "making people feel comfortable" and your assuming what generation im from? probably younger than you. i just dont let the media tell me what i think is funny
7200 views and I'm only number 40 thumbs up. Well if he keeps trying probably make it someday. I can hear them saying no no don't say that. Don't worry I'm never gonna end up in letterman's living room with brown socks on.
For some of you commenting below, Rickles joked about everyone. It didn't matter what color you were , who you were or where you came from. Rickles point was we re all here to laugh and bigots were the biggest idiots of them all. Rickles was one of the best comics ever. His ability to just think on his feet is legendary.
I think Dave during the intro was apprehensive about being on the receiving end of Don's legendary bite but by the end was won over to begin the long relationship they would have.
I love Don’s jokes but one of my favourite things about him is when he gets earnest at the end of an interview, they don’t call him mr warmth for nothing
To see Dave with Don in '83 and all the way up to 2013 he had total love and respect for the man he just sat back and let Don rip in to him better times. At the tribute to Don at the Apollo when Dave comes on at the end Don lit up like a firefly 2 beautiful men real men RIP Mr.Warmth
He stretched a bit here. he's always searching for common ground with someone he is not particularly familiar with and he does an amazing job, when he finds it, he blossoms. The start of a great friendship.
No one quicker than Rickles. Back then you circled the TV guide when he was scheduled to be on any show. He was like Mickey Mantle. You had to tune in when he was up. In his prime, un-f*cking-touchable! Facts.
Don stamped David at the end. That stamp of approval. He gave it. And David really appreciated it. You can see it. That’s realness 💯
Well, hey, I got new news. In this business you need everyone
Watched every Rickles vid on RUclips 50 times, can't gen enough, funniest guy ever.
Oh man, same here :)
Watching them EVERY DAY for the rest of MY life!!
I watch a few clips everyday ......never gets old .....
So true!
Somebody needs to get a life
Dave: "Now, how did you know I went to Ball State?"
Don: "Cause you're my whole life."
Classic.
That really busted up Dave! Funny stuff!
💯😂😂😂
"I never thought you were gonna make it, Dave... Im delighted for ya."
"'Hiram Bullock', yeah that's a black guy."
Oh... my.... God... this is stuff you'll never see today on network television. He's chewing the carpet up, wrecking the place! He's making fun of black people, white people, Jews... everything. This man is a national treasure... a real American.
Buelligan88 triumph the insult comic dog is not bad... But your comments on the money
Gone now 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Ricky Gervais, Sacha Baron Cohen doing it
Runaway train...once he starts get out of the way...Carson and Letterman could hang with him
Don's on 🔥
There are millions of nice guys, hundreds of funny people, but there’s only one Don Rickles.
- Martin Scorsese
Ibrahim Tatlises
Thank God.
He was hilarious but his jokes would get him crucified today.
don actually got funnier with age!!
You need to catch his interview with Larry King in 2014. He was killing it that day. Check it out, it's on youtube.
I agree!!
Dennis Mackey the dean martin roast was god of comedy
No he mellowed and slowed with age he was still funny but not as fun as he was in the. 70s and 80s
Some of it tied to having it to tone down things because if pc stuff. Zero black stuff from '90s on.
God--add libbed his whole career. Rickles killing it. RIP.
Letterman was ALWAYS the closest thing to Carson. He will always be remembered as the last old school host. None of the new hosts have anything special.
No Craig Ferguson was the last one.
ajk
Well... true.Ferguson was the last TALENTED host. He could carry the show all by himself without stupid games and fake laughs.
@@shab90 Or politics for the sake of politics.
shab90 I disagree. Letterman was the first modern, (increasingly over time) hyper politicized late night shows. Agreed with @ajk about Ferguson.
Yeh, he was a huge lib. Carson also but you'd never know it.
"I gave him a cookie." 🍪 One of my favorite Rickles' lines!
Goodbye Mr Rickles
You were a true Don
You made us laugh and brought us joy
It's so sad now that you're gone
"Where do you go to the beach out here? "its been about 15 years" this not an interview, just asked a question and the kid did 20 minutes on how he got started. "
I love it!!!!! No oversensitive politically correct shit here. People who know how to take a joke on themselves without getting all bent out of shape.
This is when people knew what a joke is and could laugh at themselves.
Letterman on NBC was pure gold. How that magic disappeared when he moved to 11:30pm has always bummed me out :(
Everytime I see Rickles on my recommendations I can't resist the urge to click it
Just unrelenting burns backed up by sheer charisma and impeccable timing.
A master of his art.
Rickles and Dangerfield, nothing like them before and there will never be anything like them in the future.
I think my favourite part about Don is how many people don't realize he's a voice of your childhood. He was Mr. Warmth for a lot of people but he will always be mr potato head to me.

@@teller1290 He is implying that all the movies currently being screened were so bad that they decided to go to a live stage show as a last resort.
Lucky
He was implying that my good looking wife had to be extorted to be with me.
@@kendavis9822 😂 rickles is hilarious
This is Don’s first of many DL appearances...like a zesty wine, his genius humor matured with age...

he plays the solo guitar on Little Wing (Jimi Hendrix) on Sting's "Nothing Like The Sun" LP
He also had some awesome sets with Jaco
@@ticani2 Thank you for your input, I bet he did.
This was the beginning of a beautiful and funny relationship between Don and Dave! From 1983 to 2015! RIP Don Rickles!
Wow Dons 1st apperance on Letterman. Nice.
Iza's RUclipsVloGg - Yes, his very 1st appearance on Letterman. And by far or at least to me, his very funniest, as well. 🤣😂🤣😂

They don’t make em like Don anymore.

One of the truly Greats
Even as he got to be older...he was still quick witted and funny!😁
just watch his performance at Letterman in 2008 with Denzel Washington...he owned the whole show the second the curtain lifted.Unbelievable.
The world needs more Don Rickles and less Joe Biden.
Some peoples head would explode if don rickles was alive doing comedy.

You have a whole lot to watch.. his roasts with dean martin are amazing
haha - funny thing is the black comedians now take the piss out of the white guys with immunity. As Don did to that musician back then.
Rickles was on his A game that night.
Nothing today even comes close can you imagine they would have a fit if somebody said some of the stuff he said back then. An absolute classic.
