Nail it. I've been watching Jonathan winters, probably one of the most humblest. Also Robin williams. May they all rest in peace. If you haven't been seeing any of them guys you need to check it out it's amazing
@@BeaverThomas Yes, I agree, but just like Williams and Winters, Rickles never learned the art of shutting up and allowing the featured guest to shine. He just couldn't help himself. All three of those guys would do their absolute best to steal the show from the second chair. Nobody would guess that Landon was the featured guest on this episode. Rickles would never allow that to happen. He HAD to insert himself into every question, every anecdote, every joke....jump around like a monkey....crack jokes about "affiliates" that no one in the crowd even knows about. Rickles, Winters, Williams...all geniuses...but their insecurity was so bottomless they could never, ever allow anyone in their presence to shine. They had to suck 100% of the energy out of the room. It's really sad if you think about it.
Yeah, I was. And it was extraordinary. So much fun, to laugh at all of everyone, because like in real life, it's fun to laugh at differences...and always love.
Yeah, but he never learned to just shut up when it was time for another guest to shine. He had to interrupt and show his ass at every turn. You would never know that Landon was the featured guest. Rickles was too insecure to allow that. He had to insert himself into every question. He was a genius, but he also was an incredibly selfish performer who could never let anyone else have the limelight for even a minute. It makes me feel sad for him after all these year.
@@jakemitchell1671It’s an act, even the constant interrupting. He was a master and even in this format, allowing patience would take away from the ‘insult’ factor from his comedy. Outside of his routine, the guy had a ton of patience and grace about him. His best friend was Bob Newhart lol, think about that for a second. I agree though, the guy could’ve breathed once in a while when other people were on 😂
Now tell me.... How can you not like this? These guys were classics and legends in their own time. We didn't need electricity back then....these guys could light up a room .
There's just nothing like Johnny Carson and these characters anymore! 48 years old and I still remember staying up late to watch Johnny with my mom. Just such good times!
Don Rickles was a fantastic comedian and actor. He was a wonderful man and did not have a cruel bone in his body. He was one of the first to show it's ok to laugh at yourself .
Thank God I came to this time machine this morning. Oh how times changed, so much more innocent fun back then. The humor of Rickles is the best. Wish these time machines were a permanent stay at times but back to reality.
This is a commentary section about Jonny Carson and Don Rickles. I know Jesus Christ is the son of God but what does religion have to do with this show?
I've literally watched this five times straight no script no beforehand 'what we gonna talk about' just pure intelligent conversation with old school sharp humour fantastic
“We need to laugh at ourselves” God damn I wish more people would watch don rickles cause he was such a great comedian that made millions of people laugh for decades! Nowadays people are so easily offended that’s why the world is in the shape it’s in
The BEST EVER!! Johnny Carson and his GREAT Guests!!! Just good humour and conversation, no dreadful.politics et al!! So wonderful to see these wonderful Gentlemen having a good laugh together! I will always love watching Johnny Carson's Shows especially with the hilarious and great late(so sad) Michael Landon and others!!!
I never realised Mike Landon was such a funny guy. Man he was handsome, my grandmother liked him and Blue Boy from the High Chapperell, im 62 now and those shows were when i was a kid in the 60's. RIP to all on stage.
Johnny Carson was an all-time great he's irreplaceable. He is the one talk show host that had class. He shows were funny a lot of people watched his show. Johnny Carson was the real deal will be forever missed even as a teenager I watched him remarkable man brilliant!
I enjoy seeing how Johnny Carson, Don Rickles, and Michael Landon were comfortable enough in their own skin to rib each other and laugh at themselves, unlike today, where nearly everyone is getting offended or canceled.
@aspenrebel - true, ,so true... Big Joe: What kind of deal? Crapgame: A deal, deal! Maybe he's a Republican. You know, "Business is business." OR Crapgame : [into field phone] Hogan? Yeah, it's me. Listen... I gotta favor to ask ya. Will you quit cryin... I haven't even asked ya yet! What the Hell's the matter with you? All so good, all so perfect. A good comedian, and a good actor too.
Never knew that Michael Landon was that witty and sharp tongued and what a chemistry he has with Don! I hope your pencil has a rupture brilliant. And this is what I call a handsome man.
I miss Johnny Carson, He was and still is the best late night host I've ever seen and I love & appreciate having the ability to watch these classics now!🤣🤣🤣❤
My, I was in High School when this aired. It brings back great memories! What talent graced our Television sets in those wonderful days. Johnny was and will always be the best TV Talk Show host! What I miss is seeing actors and celebrities who are very well spoken like Michael Landon. It is sobering to know that all these wonderful men have passed on. I miss them all!
There are countless celebrities today who are interesting and well-spoken. But if you have it in your head that it's a thing of the past, you're going to count all the wins and dismiss all the misses. Watch the Graham Norton show. You get tons of class from a ton of people.
Thank you for this. For 25 minutes and 23 seconds, I was transported back in time to an era when television was actually very enjoyable, with giants like Carson, Landon, Rickles, and McMahon just relaxing and having fun, along with millions of viewers. Today, a one-hour TV show is 35 minutes of the actual crappy program, and 25 minutes of stupid commercials.
Loved Johnny Carson. He never rushed his guest, they all sat there and talked like they were hanging out. These days the talk show host rushes the guest thru a five minute segment and its usually only to promote their nee book or movie.
I couldn't understand Johnny back in 1972. Once I learn English in 9 months what a joy to finally laugh and enjoy his show. He was my inspiration to inmerse my self fully in English. He will live forever
Those were awesome times with only one TV and the whole family would watch rather than everyone running to their own rooms to watch. whatever they wanted. Of course Johnny was on late at night so kids would have already been in bed but I remember us gathering for Carol Burnett, Red Skelton, Jackie Gleason . And. Ed Sullivan on Sunday. Wonderful memories of days long gone.
These days were great, R.I.P. to all of them. Man those were the days. Pure comedy no one got offended at anything. Today you can’t say boo without saying sorry.
I saw Don Rickles in person in Lake Tahoe about 35 years ago. He made fun of everybody, and he was funny. Today, he wouldn`t be able to get a booking, because he was not PC.
The genius of Carson was that he let Rickles and Dangerfield go wherever they wanted to go. He didn't interrupt. He didn't try to direct what was going on. He just went along for the ride like the rest of the audience and viewers. And it is irreplaceable.
Wow..the 3 of them played so well off each other..great tv..unlike the utter shite that we have to endure now where the host wants to be the star ..rip gents
Amazing how Michael Landon was already a legend at that point and the world had yet to see what would further come out in the production line from him. Only one can wonder if he had lives through the 90s and 2000s what he would've been able to create.
Michael Landon is very quick witted and hilarious here. I love Don Rickles very much. Television at its best. Used to go to bed watching Johnny every night back in the day. 62yo now. Thanks for the upload.
I am 61 myself, I use to do th same thing. In the 70's I was in high school, I had to go to bed a watch the tonight show. My mom thought I was sleeping... I had a small t.v. in my room. I have serval thing I have to admit the Tonight Show play in in my life...2of them first decided I really like John Denver music one night . 2nd the classic clip that is still on RUclips of when Dean Martin surprised Johnny one night ... It was Bob Hope , Dean Martin, George Global. From that night I fall in love with Dean Martin, i would go to bed early on Thursday just to watch Dean's show.... T.v. in kids room not really good idea but I am sure glad I had one so I could enjoy The Tonight Show 😊😊😊
Used to watch the monologue before crashing every night but when Rickles was guest hosting, you weren’t getting that much sleep. Listen to Don Rickles ‘ Hello Dummy ‘ record from 1960s Vegas act. It’s way too much
Bob J me too....life was simpler and entertainment was classic.... Now we are not allowed to leave our homes and we’re waiting for a virus to disappear 😷... Sad.....
Think I’ve seen all of Don’s interviews with Carson but this is my favourite, Don was on top form in this interview and generally at this time in his career, the interplay between him, Michael and Johnny is fantastic to watch. RIP all 3 and Ed!
It’s great how don Rickles sprinkles in his love for people who helped him out along the way as he’s doing his comedy bit. He’s very grateful for the people who helped him become a star
@@Mr_LMT_93 No, he was quoting from the Carson episode, when it WAS a new show just starting. Obviously now it's a very old show, thus making the OP feel very old.
Never fell for that staying up late for talk shows,maybe a few when I couldn't sleep, but not deliberately. Same with Saturday night live ,that was an hour or hour and a half shows with only 2 or 3 good skits.
Johnny Carson sucks. Broke the first rule of stand-up comedy… Never laugh at your own jokes. And that whole golf swing shit… He did that a lot at the end. Because his jokes didn't hit. He was too freaking old and should've listened to his writers instead of overruling them. Letterman did the same thing at the end. Steve Colbert would do well to avoid political humor and just concentrate on humor like he did on the Dana Carvey show
There is literally no one that was or is more entertaining on late night shows than Mr. Don Rickles. He is the epitome of laughter at its peak quality. I am so thankful to have found RUclips clips that show cases his acumen, for being 25 years of age, was unable to see him live. Rip Don, you simply are the greatest most respectful entertainer that will ever live. Thank you.
Back in the day when they understood that life is hard enough already and people needed entertainment to cheer up, not to discuss political correctness or identity politics.
Don Rickles was a genius of his time. So quick witted and a very loving man to all his piers who he outlived. Miss you Don. Thank God we have U tube I can still see you. RIP the laughter has now died! One word out of place now and sponsers run. Sad old world isn’t it. ❤
Rickles was killing it! I'm 56 yrs old, and in this era it was known as racial stereotypes. Not racism. He made fun of everyone including himself. There was no malice intendid. It was brutal but not mean. We really need to not take ourselves so serious. Sad.
I was born in 1969 and grew up on Carson, watching with my parents. Even as a young child, when I knew Rickles was on the show, I was just glued to the TV; even with a lot of his material going over my head. He was such an amazing performer.
Light hearted teasing, everyone got the joke...no political talk, no bashing of political figure..just pure entertainment. Miss those days. Michael Landon was a genius in his field, my kids grew up watching his shows. We owe him a debt of gratitude.
Like Rickles said, "Learn to laugh at ourselves". As someone that got picked on quite a bit in school, I learned this independent of Mr. Rickles' or Mr. Chappelle, two inspirational comedians/actors that helped me confirm what I thought I knew. If you learn to laugh at yourself, and make jokes about your own "quirks", it not only takes away the "fun" from the potential jerk/bully, but it helps them (that really are normally insecure themselves, not some afterschool special nonsense, based on actual experiences) open up/relax, as well as others. As people become more acquainted/comfortable, then the jokes about others come into play, but all in the sense of fun/sharing our own "issues", just in a bass-ackwards sort of way.
Michael Landon was absolutely amazing and I agree with you that we do owe him,what a generous man he was and what great lessons he tried to pass on,anyway take care regards Scott
I’m with you on the nostalgic sentiment 110%. Regarding your comments about, “everyone getting the joke; no political talk; no bashing of political figures” however, I once thought the same as you said But the more I’ve watched these vintage-era Carson and Letterman archives as an adult, I’ve come to the conclusion that both shows-especially Letterman-had plenty of “cringe”, “confrontational, and “political bashing” comedy. The difference is that a considerable portion of the performers were lifelong professionals capable of utilizing a seemingly effortless and masterfully deft genius, they could hide their more ‘edgy’-for lack of a better term-comedy underneath an unstoppable, lightning-fast stampeding barrage of ‘mass-appeal’ comedy that made me laugh so much and so loud, all their ‘edgy’ stuff went clear over my head as a kid. But it’s definitely there-especially on Letterman-and you can find it You just have to avoid asphyxiating from laughing at the oceanic volume of “surface level” jokes on the way down 🥳
My dad and I would stay up late just to watch this. It’s so nice to watch this . This brings back some wonderful memories. I don’t think this can ever be duplicated.
supergolfdude so true. It’s March 2020 and we’re stuck hiding in our homes because a virus is holding the world hostage. Can’t listen to another minute of the news. Came here for a very needed laugh! It helped!
@@kylemitchell9813 Yup. All nationalities and all kinds were made fun of . We took it in stride. Have to say he did not touch the Jews too much though.
This is just Gold, One of my favorite episodes. Rickles was at the pinnacle of his career. Landon was amazing, he just put Rickles in his place. So much chemistry here. Watch the facial expressions on Rickles as Landon answered.
This is an example of a great interview of a bygone era. The banter of Michael Landon, Don Rickles, and Johnny Carson was 😂🤣. When Landon says what a fine actor Rickles actually is and Carson responds, "You can tell from the reaction people feel the same way." Johnny was a true magician of an interviewer being able to facilitate fun discussions with different personalities. They're all so relaxed.
Rickles used that audience reaction (or lack thereof) gag on many occasions. Carson zinged Rickles with Rickles own gag, and Rickles loved it. Johnny had many well timed zingers in his pocket, and that was one of them.
+Craig Cox I've been a rat pack and rickles fan for long... i used to think rickels was really really talented, this and a few other sequences confirm his sheer genius.
One of my fave epis of this show. Perfect all around .I was too young back then to ever watch this late at night. My loss .Never knew what I was missing.
Same here I would stay up from late 1960 Thur high school in 1975, realize what real talent was. Now days can't stand t.v shows. I just watch RUclips for my entertainment.
Man, I miss these guys! Some of the best, honest, most spontaneous live television ever! Carson was a master at his craft, as was Rickles! I was 28 when this show aired, and I remember it like yesterday. Great days!
@@trekkiejunk Ehhh, honestly though I've been analyzing the actors/comedians of this generation. They are all acting in accordance to politics and the ones who don't, get squished.
@@trekkiejunk exactly modern actors musicians are just average untalented people, everything they make is rubbish infact its worse than rubbish its poison
@@trekkiejunk Nope. Talk shows now are nothing but liberal political propaganda. And actors sit there like robots and promote their next film. All pre-planned questions. No one interacts like this anymore.
This clip is over 40 years old and seems new and fresh. That is so crazy, especially knowing that every person on this show is now deceased. WOW! Where does the time go.
I wish I could have Michael Landon's laugh as a ring tone! Love him. Not only was he incredibly handsome with a full head of gorgeous wavy locks but he was also an incredibly talented storyteller. Every single one of his TV shows was successful and beloved because of the values they expressed and the depth of the characters he created. No one today produces content like that anymore. Sadly.
you can. i have the original tarzan call as my ringtone. it involves recording the laugh, so it is an mp3 file, and that can be used for your ringtone.
and in many instances , less apologetically , when set along side his performance in this clip which features a surprising number of disclaimers and sermons issued by Rickles before and after his "zingers". However, Rickles was granted special dispensation by the hypersensitive powers-that-be and their brain-dead disciples in his later years and wasn't 'called out'/taken to task over or criticized re: remarks or attitudes he expressed that had any other person today been a party to - they'd have been crucified.
I have been a devoted fan of Johnny Carson since the age of 17 beginning with this show taped in 1974 with Don Rickles and Michael Landon, who were fantastic together as guests,along with their host Johnny Carson.My other favorite episode is the one in 1969 with Bob Hope, Dean Martin and George Gobel. when the three of them got quite tipsy sharing Dean Martin's very strong cocktail. This episode is also so extremely funny that my husband and I don't mind watching it repeatedly along along with the one with George Gobel and Dean Martin taped in 1969.Thank you so very much johnny for leaving us with this precious and hysterically funny collection of your incredible talent.I can hardly wait to meet you in person.See you on the other side!!!
Me too love them all... glad to say that Doc is living up here in his homtate of Oregon and still performing at 91 . He made Oregon proud to have someone like him b put us on the map.
Me too. I've scrounged all over RUclips looking for Rickles clips and this is one of my favorites. But this episode also caused me to now binge Bonanza episodes as well.
Rickles has always been one of my heroes. He's influenced my own banter so much that my wife wonders how I make it home alive :) Thank you Don! Free Beer and such . . .

There's just nothing like Johnny Carson and these characters anymore! 48 years old and I still remember staying up late to watch Johnny with my mom. Just such good times!
Never a boring moment on Carson's show!
Carson paved the way..shame today no one could emulate him and all his guests..we'll never see entertainment like this again.
Didn't appreciate these people back then, but I realize now they were special, great, and sincere !!!!
This right here is classic tv GOLD!!

1974, I was age 13. I watched Johnny's show in summer. Don Rickles was a hoot.
We are the same age. Summer, and sometimes during the school year when I begged my parents to stay up if Rickles was on.
This is all classic. We will never have pure genius in entertainment like this again.
There is no God but Allah, Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.....,,............❤.....
This is a commentary section about Jonny Carson and Don Rickles.
I know Jesus Christ is the son of God but what does religion have to do with this show?
I enjoyed this so much that when it was over I got a tiny tiny bit depressed..
No script ,just pure genuine humor born from chemistry and whatever was inside their heads at that time ....
It was harder to get famous back then, you had to actually be talented
A complete shame all these legends are gone. Gone but not forgotten. They will live forever. RIP Fellas, RIP
They could not exist today in this Woke Progressive bullshit world!

I have serval thing I have to admit the Tonight Show play in in my life...2of them first decided I really like John Denver music one night . 2nd the classic clip that is still on RUclips of when Dean Martin surprised Johnny one night ... It was Bob Hope , Dean Martin, George Global. From that night I fall in love with Dean Martin, i would go to bed early on Thursday just to watch Dean's show.... T.v. in kids room not really good idea but I am sure glad I had one so I could enjoy The Tonight Show 😊😊😊
same here
Used to watch the monologue before crashing every night but when Rickles was guest hosting, you weren’t getting that much sleep.
Listen to Don Rickles ‘ Hello Dummy ‘ record from 1960s Vegas act. It’s way too much
Bob J me too....life was simpler and entertainment was classic.... Now we are not allowed to leave our homes and we’re waiting for a virus to disappear 😷...
Sad.....
Little joe prabably drunk at this time
Think I’ve seen all of Don’s interviews with Carson but this is my favourite, Don was on top form in this interview and generally at this time in his career, the interplay between him, Michael and Johnny is fantastic to watch. RIP all 3 and Ed!
It’s great how don Rickles sprinkles in his love for people who helped him out along the way as he’s doing his comedy bit. He’s very grateful for the people who helped him become a star
Michael Landon has a NEW show, "Little House on the Prairie"... WOW I feel like I´m 100 years old.
Sorry, Michael Landon died in 1991, how does he have a new show or film?
@@Anna-kw9jv Yeah, I figured. Haha
@@Mr_LMT_93 No, he was quoting from the Carson episode, when it WAS a new show just starting. Obviously now it's a very old show, thus making the OP feel very old.
Anna who I was replying to, said "Maybe he's old?"
@@Mr_LMT_93Little House on the Prairie was a new show in the 1970’s when this tonight show was made.
Rickles and Williams together , unimaginable ...
Miss the days growing up watching Johnny every night before going to bed, great times.
Never fell for that staying up late for talk shows,maybe a few when I couldn't sleep, but not deliberately. Same with Saturday night live ,that was an hour or hour and a half shows with only 2 or 3 good skits.
It was a racist series.
Johnny Carson sucks. Broke the first rule of stand-up comedy… Never laugh at your own jokes. And that whole golf swing shit… He did that a lot at the end. Because his jokes didn't hit. He was too freaking old and should've listened to his writers instead of overruling them. Letterman did the same thing at the end. Steve Colbert would do well to avoid political humor and just concentrate on humor like he did on the Dana Carvey show
Bill Lenderman ⭐️⭐️
Same.
There is literally no one that was or is more entertaining on late night shows than Mr. Don Rickles. He is the epitome of laughter at its peak quality. I am so thankful to have found RUclips clips that show cases his acumen, for being 25 years of age, was unable to see him live. Rip Don, you simply are the greatest most respectful entertainer that will ever live. Thank you.
I wish TV could be like this, now! This was so entertaining & funny! Michael Landon was very handsome here.
...Smoked like a stack and drank like a fish. ...Cost him thirty years of his life.
Those days are gone. 😢
He'd be canceled before he could get more than a few words out. But, you're exactly right, those days are long gone. 😢
You are SO RIGHT!!! I was so hooked on Jonny Carson that I couldn't go to sleep until I saw at least a part of his show!!!
Back in the day when they understood that life is hard enough already and people needed entertainment to cheer up, not to discuss political correctness or identity politics.
hawkiebaby I think it was like this up until about 8 years ago. Late night comedy completely changed in 2016.
@@hastycontemplation NO NO LATE NIGHT WAST THE SAME AFTER CARSON RETIRED = IT WENT STEADILY DOWNHILL TILL WHAT IT IS TODAY GARBISH
I wish it was still like this!
100%
Back when men had wieners and women had tacos and not the other way around.
Rickles outlived them all.
I’m only 18 years old but this man is the funniest person I’ve ever seen, non stop comedic genius. Greatest comedian ever.
I'll bet you're really 50 years old
You missed the best tv shows, and the best music. Groovy clothes, too.
Carson wasn't the greatest.
Macdonald was
I'm 23 and he's funny but I don't get half of what he says lol
You better believe it!
Don Rickles was a genius of his time. So quick witted and a very loving man to all his piers who he outlived. Miss you Don. Thank God we have U tube I can still see you. RIP the laughter has now died! One word out of place now and sponsers run. Sad old world isn’t it. ❤
Rickles was killing it! I'm 56 yrs old, and in this era it was known as racial stereotypes. Not racism. He made fun of everyone including himself. There was no malice intendid. It was brutal but not mean. We really need to not take ourselves so serious. Sad.
Say that stuff today and you'd get sued by the ACLU.
AMEN to that........ say what they will ,,,, but ever since the left went wacky ,,,, they put a racial divide narrative through the country...
intended
Yep politicians have made education of ppl to hate using the dictionary
oH puleeeze, HE WAS RACIST AS HELL. It was just acceptbale then. Now it isnt cool to be shitty .
Don Rickles was one of the funniest people ever. I tried to explain to my wife why I was so sad when he died but she couldn't understand.
I was born in 1969 and grew up on Carson, watching with my parents. Even as a young child, when I knew Rickles was on the show, I was just glued to the TV; even with a lot of his material going over my head. He was such an amazing performer.
We were lucky))
Light hearted teasing, everyone got the joke...no political talk, no bashing of political figure..just pure entertainment. Miss those days. Michael Landon was a genius in his field, my kids grew up watching his shows. We owe him a debt of gratitude.
Like Rickles said, "Learn to laugh at ourselves". As someone that got picked on quite a bit in school, I learned this independent of Mr. Rickles' or Mr. Chappelle, two inspirational comedians/actors that helped me confirm what I thought I knew. If you learn to laugh at yourself, and make jokes about your own "quirks", it not only takes away the "fun" from the potential jerk/bully, but it helps them (that really are normally insecure themselves, not some afterschool special nonsense, based on actual experiences) open up/relax, as well as others. As people become more acquainted/comfortable, then the jokes about others come into play, but all in the sense of fun/sharing our own "issues", just in a bass-ackwards sort of way.
Michael Landon was absolutely amazing and I agree with you that we do owe him,what a generous man he was and what great lessons he tried to pass on,anyway take care regards Scott
I’m with you on the nostalgic sentiment 110%.
Regarding your comments about, “everyone getting the joke; no political talk; no bashing of political figures” however, I once thought the same as you said
But the more I’ve watched these vintage-era Carson and
Letterman archives as an adult, I’ve come to the conclusion that both shows-especially Letterman-had plenty of “cringe”, “confrontational, and “political bashing” comedy.
The difference is that a considerable portion of the performers were lifelong professionals capable of utilizing a seemingly effortless and masterfully deft genius, they could hide their more ‘edgy’-for lack of a better term-comedy underneath an unstoppable, lightning-fast stampeding barrage of ‘mass-appeal’ comedy that made me laugh so much and so loud, all their ‘edgy’ stuff went clear over my head as a kid.
But it’s definitely there-especially on Letterman-and you can find it
You just have to avoid asphyxiating
from laughing at the oceanic volume of “surface level” jokes on the way down
🥳
Not only is Landon a classy guy, he is quick as a whip taking shots at Rickles. This is comedy gold.
Not many guys could go toe to toe with Rickles!!!!!
I have never hear one thing he said that was funny. Apparently he was a most decent guy but funny? No!
@@johnsilverman2538 agreed. Landon wasnt funny at all
A great comedy show with no foul language and very funny.How times have changed.
These guys were great! What a period of time.
My dad and I would stay up late just to watch this. It’s so nice to watch this . This brings back some wonderful memories. I don’t think this can ever be duplicated.
Today's generation should be made to watch Don Rickles. Make it mandatory to toughen them up.
This was before Late Night TV became a forum to try to destroy people. Was always worth watching!🤗
Seeing these guys makes me happy we have RUclips to call up these memories.
supergolfdude so true. It’s March 2020 and we’re stuck hiding in our homes because a virus is holding the world hostage. Can’t listen to another minute of the news. Came here for a very needed laugh! It helped!
If things keep the way they going it will be no more.
Rickles. The greatest insulter
Of all time ! And how did he get away with those jokes? We lost him in 2017 at the age of 90! What a loss!
When Rickles insulted someone, it meant he liked them!
He barely got away with it. But he did and it was the seventies. that's why.
He got away with it because everyone weren't so fragile back then
@@kylemitchell9813 Yup. All nationalities and all kinds were made fun of . We took it in stride. Have to say he did not touch the Jews too much though.
greg bosak and
It's not often where Johnny is caught speechless, but Rickles and Landon did it.
Best drummer
David cawrowl has to i
This is just Gold, One of my favorite episodes. Rickles was at the pinnacle of his career. Landon was amazing, he just put Rickles in his place. So much chemistry here. Watch the facial expressions on Rickles as Landon answered.
Landon was a bore. He killed the mood and didnt say one funny thing
This is an example of a great interview of a bygone era. The banter of Michael Landon, Don Rickles, and Johnny Carson was 😂🤣. When Landon says what a fine actor Rickles actually is and Carson responds, "You can tell from the reaction people feel the same way." Johnny was a true magician of an interviewer being able to facilitate fun discussions with different personalities. They're all so relaxed.
Rickles used that audience reaction (or lack thereof) gag on many occasions. Carson zinged Rickles with Rickles own gag, and Rickles loved it.
Johnny had many well timed zingers in his pocket, and that was one of them.
Just a phenomenal episode. Rickles isn't even trying and he keeps everybody laughing.
+Craig Cox I've been a rat pack and rickles fan for long... i used to think rickels was really really talented, this and a few other sequences confirm his sheer genius.
One of my fave epis of this show. Perfect all around .I was too young back then to ever watch this late at night. My loss .Never knew what I was missing.
humour like this would be totally unacceptable today SADLY
NOTHING IS BETTER THAN THIS
i wanna be with you guys so bad 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🙂
I remember it was cool staying up late to watch Johnny. I was 13 when this was on.
Same here I would stay up from late 1960 Thur high school in 1975, realize what real talent was. Now days can't stand t.v shows. I just watch RUclips for my entertainment.
Jack Parr was the ultimate conversationalist. He preseded Johnny and was funnier. He picked guests for their wit, not for their latest movie.
Anyone who can laugh at themselves and their family first, is funny... love him to bits, lovely guy..
Man, I miss these guys! Some of the best, honest, most spontaneous live television ever! Carson was a master at his craft, as was Rickles! I was 28 when this show aired, and I remember it like yesterday. Great days!
There is no God but Allah, Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.....,,............❤.....
I have tears rolling down my face laughing so hard ! I miss Michael Landon !
Me too!
Me too I named my oldest son Landon ♥
Classic...Landon was known as a great guy--bright with a dry sense of humour...Rickles in his element, as usual--none better
It's insane to me that there was a time when actors had any personality to speak of, let alone could go line for line with Rickles. Great video.
People are still people. Actors today are just as witty (or not witty) as they were 40, 50 or 80 years ago. People are still people.
@@trekkiejunk And the ontological dramas of people who become actors play out in both public and private. We are both correct.
@@trekkiejunk Ehhh, honestly though I've been analyzing the actors/comedians of this generation. They are all acting in accordance to politics and the ones who don't, get squished.
@@trekkiejunk exactly modern actors musicians are just average untalented people, everything they make is rubbish infact its worse than rubbish its poison
@@trekkiejunk Nope. Talk shows now are nothing but liberal political propaganda. And actors sit there like robots and promote their next film. All pre-planned questions. No one interacts like this anymore.
This clip is over 40 years old and seems new and fresh. That is so crazy, especially knowing that every person on this show is now deceased. WOW! Where does the time go.
lagaman11 because most of the stuff today is crap
lagaman11 people in j
Gotta love the green shag! 70s!!
Too bad Johnny smoked all those years before he quit smokeing.
@@pronemanoldbutyoung5548 Yes. You can already hear the damage in his throat & vocal chords.
Don Rickles is a legend and such a great man. I wish I knew about him and had the chance to see him live. Rip Mr. Warmth 🐐❤️
Rickles was so funny, I love his ability to make fun of everybody. We need a 2020 Rickles.
he would be cancelled. it'll never happen again, people are too sensitive now a days.
No we don’t. That guy is Trump. We absolutely do not need more insults.
Nick de Paulo
@@irontribeissues9104 Trump is an insult and Don isn’t!
Bill Burr is the closest we've got, and he's damn close.
I wish I could have Michael Landon's laugh as a ring tone! Love him. Not only was he incredibly handsome with a full head of gorgeous wavy locks but he was also an incredibly talented storyteller. Every single one of his TV shows was successful and beloved because of the values they expressed and the depth of the characters he created. No one today produces content like that anymore. Sadly.
His laugh is one of a kind.
you can. i have the original tarzan call
as my ringtone. it involves recording the
laugh, so it is an mp3 file, and that can be used for your ringtone.
I loved his laugh, he laughed just like that on Bonanza.
You s'd get out more often
Wish we could have seen Freddie mingle with the boys, what a hoot that would have been 😂!
Another one who left us too soon; Michael Landon.
Just classic. For the people who said Rickles couldn't do this today, he was doing this almost until the day he died.
and in many instances , less apologetically , when set along side his performance in this clip which features a surprising number of disclaimers and sermons issued by Rickles before and after his "zingers". However, Rickles was granted special dispensation by the hypersensitive powers-that-be and their brain-dead disciples in his later years and wasn't 'called out'/taken to task over or criticized re: remarks or attitudes he expressed that had any other person today been a party to - they'd have been crucified.
Jesus who says that.this guy is genius.he would bury any comic today
ju sticia for.ua8)n)
Who's saying that? I've scrolled through hundreds of comments and haven't seen that one.
There is no God but Allah, Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.....,,............❤.....
I have been a devoted fan of Johnny Carson since the age of 17 beginning with this show taped in 1974 with Don Rickles and Michael Landon, who were fantastic together as guests,along with their host Johnny Carson.My other favorite episode is the one in 1969 with Bob Hope, Dean Martin and George Gobel. when the three of them got quite tipsy sharing Dean Martin's very strong cocktail. This episode is also so extremely funny that my husband and I don't mind watching it repeatedly along along with the one with George Gobel and Dean Martin taped in 1969.Thank you so very much johnny for leaving us with this precious and hysterically funny collection of your incredible talent.I can hardly wait to meet you in person.See you on the other side!!!
From @18:16 and two three exchanges ahead, the single best moment in TV history, hands down. It's like magic ❤
Rickles owns it everytime. Greatness.
@Franz Koph He didn't say funny things; he said things funny. Hint: it wasn't SUPPOSED to make sense.
I loved Johnny, Ed, Doc, and Don. I see this as timeless television.
Me too love them all... glad to say that Doc is living up here in his homtate of Oregon and still performing at 91 . He made Oregon proud to have someone like him b put us on the map.
Oh My God! I'm laughing so hard the tears are coming. Rickles is incredible..
Fuc***** hysterically funny 😂😂
2020 anyone!??
My first Don Rickles marathon of the year!!!!
im with you brother
Me too. I've scrounged all over RUclips looking for Rickles clips and this is one of my favorites. But this episode also caused me to now binge Bonanza episodes as well.
Same here man 😂😂😂
Go watch Foster Brooks doing Rickles. You will die laughing.
Rickles at his best. You’re right.
Rickles has always been one of my heroes. He's influenced my own banter so much that my wife wonders how I make it home alive :)
Thank you Don!
