I was a valet for Don Rickles for 2 weeks in a hotel in Phila. He was appearing with Sinatra at a local theater. Don Rickles was the nicest, kindest man I ever met.
I’ve discovered this gem many years ago and I still rewatch it when I have the blues it gives me instant relief 😊 RIP Don and Larry, two very fine human beings

Hi. Hope you don’t take any disrespect, I do apologize but I need to address this. You need to accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior in order to get to Heaven. The heart of Christianity is the resurrection and the evidence for the resurrection is overwhelming. Check it out for yourself at InspiringPhilosophy, Cross Examined and Testify and then give your life to Christ. Praying for you. Thanks Larry and Don for what you did. Hope you’re resting well.
Larry King wanted nothing to do with God and didn't even acknowledge God. When he left his body and became a disembodied spirit he did NOT go to God. God honors our choices. God is in heaven. Larry King is not with God, he never wanted to be. God did not force Himself on Larry King when he died. Larry went to the place he chose: a place where God isn't.
just want to say rest in peace Larry and Don, I was born in 1984 but this clip and this style of comedy always makes me laugh and smile and go through the day despite difficulties and problems we all have. We need people like Don and Larry, to make us smile, laugh, cry and think over our life....and those words come from a Pole living in Poland who never lived in US but always admired the openness and the style....all the best, keep this video on CNN.
He is amazing. I have grown up watching and laughing . Whenever Mr. Rickles was on stage i would laugh the whole show. The man has class and they don’t make entertainers like him anymore. He hit jokes that pushed the envelope and people laughed instead of making it a issue. Those are the best days. Love you Don
I almost laughed as much as Larry. Don Rickles was 'truly" one of a kind. I would have killed just to get a chance to hang out with Don for a day. He will be missed. Rest in peace" hockey puck".
To make Larry laugh that hard takes some talent. Don was so quick-witted and it was so nice to see him work in real time against anyone on the phone or on air.
One thing that strikes me about Don Rickles' talent that I feel many people don't focus on, because he is defined by his type of humor, which is insult comedy, is that he is as good an ad-libber as any comic I've ever seen. Nearly all of what he does is ad lib. It really is a talent, in and of itself.
Definitely. Rickles was great with impromptu. He was quick and hilarious, while he did those ad lib comebacks. One of the best. Robin Williams and Richard Pryor, were adept at it too.
In in stitches over and over in the first two minutes. A time capsule. These two men rose to the pinnacle of their professions. This clip is a treat. Rickles radiates pure funniness like nobody else before him or since.
Absolutely hilarious! Wish I would have had the opportunity to have met the man! Very few 24 year olds can appreciate this man's comedy. Much love to you Rickles!
That is so amazing. He made Larry laugh so much for so long he literally slapped the table laughing! He couldn't get a word in in minutes. XD A legend at work. Even Rickles ended up cracking up. :D
I found that Larry's natural love of Rickles actually put mr Rickles (bless his soul) into a candid mood that I have actually never seen from the legend.
It was over the minute Don came on the show, but it was REALLY over at 22:30 for Larry and for me😂😂😂🤣 Everything he said had me done, I couldn't breathe...I love this guy! Wish we were going to get more for him.
It’s amazing how quickly Don had a funny response to something anyone would say. Like his remark about his wife growling like a bear. His wit was fast as a lightning bolt. Rest In Peace Don and thanks for the laughs and memories.
Larry probably laughed his heart out to make up for all those years of seriousness... But I admit to cracking up as much as Larry when Don said: "What a cheap show, they can't even get the host to show up !". lol
It's all about the Love and the Respect for each other....can u feel it, today it's all cold, very little Love nowadays, if you have or get a little....treasure it, it's golden!! Legends u will never see again.... Lady's and Gentleman... LEGENDS !!!
This is a CLASSIC! 1985 when I was 22 and all these legends were still alive! Don and all those he speaks of! Great times for me as the man talks about his times!
This is so Classic. A semi young Larry King being forced to lose his shit on his own show. You can tell Don likes cracking him up and really pours it on. It's easy to see they were fond of each other. Great content.
Rip good old days. I was and still honored to have been born in the seventies and have lived through eighties and nineties. Life was much simpler and much better.
What’s amazing about Don is he can fluctuate from being funny and joking around to being extremely serious and sincere and down to earth. When he is sincere, he is not bsing and he’s very candid.
His face was shining and you can tell by that....that he was a good person....and also he had a wondurful freindship with larry... That's the day when people they were truly listen to you respect you.... What a wondurful and great time ☺
What an amazing talent. To think he never did "bits", he just walked out and went to work on the crowd. In his own right, as much of a legend as Carlin or Lenny Bruce or Pryor. Maybe more so. And he seemed like such a sweet guy to boot.
im 25 years old, and although we have absolute great comedians nowadays, louie ck comes to mind, but they dont make them like this anymore, the rapid spit fire of constant jokes and just the feeling he had, he was amazing.
Wayne Phillips growing up I thought why the fuck is he so evil towards jay Leno, it made me not like him. BUT finding other footage and finding out why he didn't like Leno made me give him a chance.
Wayne Phillips he said he perfected his craft as time went by. You may be born funny, but if you take it all to chance, you’ll fail eventually. It was his craft.
I’ve just come across Don in 2023 am Scottish I used to enjoy Billy Connelly telling stories about life but Don is the man….I love his humour he’s one he’ll of a funny guy 😂 RIP Don you had an amazing sense of humour my friend 👏 👏👏
I think the problems were mostly the same, just as widespread, but the only difference between then and now is the internet. Nothing happens in the world nowadays that we don't all know about it within moments. It USED to be that if you missed the news program at noon or 6pm, you either heard it from people in your daily life, or not at all.
Oh Shut the fuck up man. Stop with the negative twist sprinkled with nostalgia shit. I believe each country is made up of its people and their thoughts and attitudes. If people like you keep thinking as if the country is a "HAS BEEN", wont it become exactly that? Think optimistically man. And lo and behold, it will happen.
@@Quazi-Moto no not true. Both parties loved America and its ideals, and the fact that it wasn't perfect but the system allowed for rigorous and substantial reforms when necessary. Also, America when deemed wrong by the current citizens was quick and absolute in trying to rectify. Internet has been disastrous In the propagation of unaccountable and anonymous comments further disconnecting Americans and destabilizing the communal inclusivity previously shared by all. Intangible, yes, but a common belief
This man is one of the sweetest persons I've ever encountered in life. I was lucky enough to take my dad on his birthday to see him and Frank perform August 29th, 1990 @ Great Woods, Massachusetts. He and Frank were drinking scotch out of rock glasses before the music began. We were in the third row, and I remember a 16/17-year-old girl come up to the stage between songs and Frank said, "What can I do for you young lady." and she said, "I just want to tell you I love you. They were throwing their lingerie up on stage throughout the show. I was in my 20s and it blew my mind.
good old days when larry was a young man. he is only 97 here
Lol
ur right he's more likely 98
Don was 7 years older than Larry.
The "Larry King is old" joke would be better if he were interviewing someone younger.
Just saying.
As young as that, eh?
LMAO
I was a valet for Don Rickles for 2 weeks in a hotel in Phila. He was appearing with Sinatra at a local theater. Don Rickles was the nicest, kindest man I ever met.
That's the best thing you could say about anyone, thanks for sharing.
He was tender like Larry King says
did you fire a rocket in his presence?
Philly✊
I watch this every now and then
I do as well, Larry laughing is so good.
They say laughing extends your life, on this day Larry extended his life for 50 years
I love seeing a young larry king, he's only 84 here, bless him.
Missus Robot A future Don Rickles here.
Hahahahaha
I loved his show. Miss it to this day. Had great guests.

Rickles is one of the funniest men that ever lived.
Maybe. By the way, was Don a member of the Bilderberg supremacy?
uhhhhh
...not anymore
"That ever lived," not anymore? Doesn't make sense.
Might wanna give him a Google search... R.I.P.
I've never seen Larry laugh so much! What a treat to see this!

This is hands down my favourite Larry King interview. Two Legends. Hopefully Don is making Larry cry from laughter, for eternity. RIP
Still the best interview I have ever seen. RIP to two legends
What an absolute genius is Don Rickles. So original and could make you keel over in laughter with every word he says.
This 28 minutes goes by so quick. That's how good Rickles was, just his conversational type of camera time was Gold.
R.I.P. Don Rickles and THANK YOU for 50 years of laughter. You were the greatest.
Both are reunited in heaven right now. Two legends. RIP!!!

yes I'm getting older... doing shows like this. Master of impro
I’m too young to have known this guy but he was as fast as anyone I’ve ever heard in my life! He must be a legend.
I am watching this now 9/20/2021 36 years later than the original aired, I am laughing so hard. G-Blessed both of them. 🙏🏻
This is my favourite interview ever!! I watch this once a month. Probably seen it 10 times already, still makes me laugh my pants off.

Rickles radiates pure funniness like nobody else before him or since.
Absolutely hilarious! Wish I would have had the opportunity to have met the man! Very few 24 year olds can appreciate this man's comedy. Much love to you Rickles!
I would have LOVED to meet Rickles in person, if only for a moment. He is an absolute ICON in comedy.
Oh damn, from 22:00 to 24:00 I just had a riot, my eyes are filled with tears and my stomach hurts! What a character, lol
That is so amazing. He made Larry laugh so much for so long he literally slapped the table laughing! He couldn't get a word in in minutes. XD
A legend at work. Even Rickles ended up cracking up. :D
You see how happy it makes Don when he hears true laughter.
RIP Don Rickles. Definitely one of the funniest comedians ever!! There will never be another Don Rickles!!
I found that Larry's natural love of Rickles actually put mr Rickles (bless his soul) into a candid mood that I have actually never seen from the legend.

That’s what she says☹️
Rodney Dangerfield: Are you challenging me?
Thats experience
Idk he doesn't look like he'd run very fast
Experience and intelligence.
This man was always smiling . Married over fifty years. Quite an inspiration . He leaves quite a legacy .
Such a great man! One of the greatest legends of my lifetime! Outside of his stage act, he was a very nice and devoted family man.
This is my favourite of his interviews. Rest in peace Larry King 💜
RIP Mr.Warmth,one of the classiest guys,he's upstairs right now ripping everyone a new one

im thankful for youtube i can see what i missed out on before i walked the earth. RIP Don
My favorite american comedian of all time. He's timing was just perfect.
Was laughing so much my wife thought I was dying because I couldn’t breathe. Rickles tickles the soul and is the Insult comic GOAT!
23:48 "What an idiot host".......hahaha.......I lost it on that one.
Rip good old days. I was and still honored to have been born in the seventies and have lived through eighties and nineties. Life was much simpler and much better.
Never see Larry King Laugh like that.
What’s amazing about Don is he can fluctuate from being funny and joking around to being extremely serious and sincere and down to earth. When he is sincere, he is not bsing and he’s very candid.
There is not one human being that was funnier than Don Rickles. Ever.
What about Kumail Nanjiani?

Geez all these random people were such genuine kind hearted people. You don't get that nowadays.
Djsilver64 I blame the internet
I was thinking the same thing. They’re all so courteous
Laughing more at this CNN interview than at any new Netflix special. I know yall can relate!
damn. Don was old 30 years ago! he def lived a full life
The more I watch Larry King the more I believe hes a genuine man. Kind. Great laugh. He was also a flawed man and in many ways he was open about that.
This guy was so amazing. RIP. Truly one of the greats.
I wish I was ever as happy, as Larry King was in this interview.
"Ah shut up Larry, get on with it" lmao at that point it's like they were sitting at a bar
Are you talking through a kazoo?
LMFAO
23:58 love that it goes to an ad and he's still in convulsions laughing 😂😂
Rickles asks an old lady caller with a funny voice , Are you talking through a Kazoo?I almost died laughing
im 25 years old, and although we have absolute great comedians nowadays, louie ck comes to mind, but they dont make them like this anymore, the rapid spit fire of constant jokes and just the feeling he had, he was amazing.
May they both rest in peace ✌. They lived full lives. They were extremely blessed.
OMG!!! I laughed so hard I CRIED !!!!!!! :)))))))))))))))))))
Don was the BEST comedian that ever lived !!!
IMO Don Rickles has actually got funnier as he's got older. Amazing guy.
Don Rickles & Jimmy Buffett just get better as they get older. Well, Don not so much anymore... 🤔😸
