Don Rickles on Dean Martin Roast
Комедия
Don Rickles on the Dean Martin Roast TV show. It was a glittering night in Las Vegas, in the swinging '70s, when the desert city was ablaze with star-studded glamour. It was a night when the King of Insult Comedy, the one and only Don Rickles, took center stage as the guest of honor on the Dean Martin Roast.
In a town that never sleeps, under the glittering lights of the Las Vegas Strip, the Rat Pack and the who's who of show business gathered to celebrate the man whose wit was as sharp as a stiletto, Mr. Don Rickles. The Dean Martin Roasts were legendary, but this one stood out as a true gem.
Rickles, with his trademark smirk and unrivaled comic timing, took to the dais. Dressed in a sleek tuxedo, he was the master of ceremonies, the roastmaster, and the roastee, all rolled into one. His roasts were a spectacular blend of humor and affection, as he poked fun at the very celebrities who had come to honor him.
His rapid-fire insults spared no one. Dean Martin, Joey Bishop, and Cliff Robertson were all on the receiving end of Rickles' hilarious jabs. The audience erupted in laughter, knowing that every zinger came from a place of love and respect. In his unique style, Rickles managed to turn the sharpest barbs into the sweetest compliments.
The night was a testament to the enduring power of laughter and the unbreakable bonds between these Hollywood icons. Don Rickles, in his own inimitable way, reminded us all that beneath the glitz and glamour of the Vegas Strip, there was a genuine camaraderie and deep affection among these giants of entertainment.
Don Rickles, the merchant of mirth and master of mockery, reigned supreme as the guest of honor on the Dean Martin Roast, leaving a legacy of laughter that continues to warm our hearts and bring smiles to our faces.

What makes Rickles so great is that he starts off all sincere and solemn and pulls you in and then throws that left curve you never expected.
I absolutely love these back in the 70’s

Amazing, above it all after all the zingers, Don was humble and dignified. Rest in peace sir.
His comic timing was simply brilliant. The way he could pick up on any little thing said or done and instantly make a joke out of it was fantastic. One of a kind.
There will never be another like Don Rickles. What a blessing for the heart.
What a treasure. He was one of a kind.
No one better What a comedian! Don is the man! I miss Don Rickles! I will pray for America. Please pray for me. God Bless you.

That was a beautiful close, Mr. Rickles. I’m sorry I never got to enjoy your comedy while you were with us.
So much talent. Rickles never used writers he just came out and improvised as he went. Amazing.
He always ends with a beautiful message.
I used to watch this show every week as a kid with my late dad. We ALWAYS laughed our asses off. Funniest guy ever.

I wish on a daily basis that we could just go back to these days. I was born in 72…today country is just unrecognizable.
Rickles was harmless, he was brutally funny. Thank God he left us this legacy of uncompromising humor...
Good grief but Don has to be one of the greatest comedians of all time - and that line up, I doubt we will ever see their like again. No swearing, no filth, just incredibly funny. Thank you Don, thank you Foster, thank you Dean
Rickles was brutal… end of the day , everyone laughed , nobody was offended needed a safe room . The golden age of comedy . There was so many comedians to mention . An I thank you for the memories. Glad I grew up in the 70’s and 80’s . Look where we are today . …..

So sad that he is not with us anymore, but his humor is going to live forever. My daughter is 11 right now and she is learning english very fast.

The genius of comedy is the delivery. Anyone can tell a joke, but it's how you say it make it funny.
Brilliant simply brilliant 😊
When Don Rickles started out he was performing at a night club and his mother who was friends with Sinatra's mother, asked her to tell Frank to go check Don out, so he did, when Sinatra walked into the show Don said "Frank make yourself at home, punch somebody" They were friends ever since Sinatra laughed and had a long friendship with DR the all-time funny Comedian. Check out Don roasting Jerry Lewis classic.
He was unequivocally the absolute best. My all time favorite. Sometimes I get on KZread and re watch videos of him. I laugh like it’s the first time hearing them. He was a very kind man. I’m glad people back then and now know it was just comedy.

The way he controls the room is something else... he can get the audience rolling on the floor and then hush, hush when he wants to be serious. What an icon!
Is there anything else at all that could be said of the great talent that Don Rickles was and indeed is, thanks to technology, that hasn’t already been said so many times over and over again to the point of having exhausted any and everything that’s possibly left to be said of him and his great talent! What a giant! What a mind on fire! And not only did he possess quickness, alertness, and agility of mind, to name only a few, but he was also articulate and eloquent in his delivery, to boot, especially his eloquence in those sincere and serious moments! And that closing speech… so profound…and to die for!
When comedy meets class, we were given the gifted Don Rickles. The epitome of thoughtful intellectual comedic genius.

Great comedian, Always off the cuff with a snappy response think thats what made him so funny, Who else could get all those famous stars all laughing at the same time. Fun to watch.

I'm on a Don Rickles roll - loving it. Just viewed his show (1996 ? ) with a full orchestra backing him. He kills, burns all around him, then leaves with a poignant thought at the end. Like he does here.
Funny story. Rickles picked my dad out of a studio audience on the Tonight show with Johnny Carson - he was guest hosting. He was supposed to pick the guy next to my dad. My dad had a heavy Austrian accent- Rickles started making fun of him in his hilarious way. He asked my dad “whats that pin your wearing on your jacket, is that a discharge pin?”. My dad said “it’s a 25-year pin from the NBC television network,” as he was West-coast manager of the NBC television network’s sales & sales service. Doc S from the tonight show band started playing taps as he knew dad. Dad often took clients buying commercial time on the network, to see the tonight show and meet various stars on the Burbank lot. It just so happened that Don picked the wrong bald man 🤣. I still have that footage ❤️ -such a great memory.
So sharp, well spoken, good timing and extremely smart.
Don was one of the greats!!! Always funny! And really humble behind the comedy exterior! You always knew his humor came from a place of love and respect! ❤❤❤

man, all those guys were class acts. Rickles was amazing.
Elegant and classy closing.
Truly an entertainer and friend to the old Hollywood, I must say I agree with Don Rickles father and his quote at the end of this awesome clip. I like to feel I resemble the same road traveled in a way however only more emotional for me as people not recognizing my kindheartedness but labeling me as mean spirited for only standing up in defence to the wrongs done unto my wife and children. I miss the old Hollywood and am so happy to have lived during such wonderful entertainment and entertainers.
No one was safe...and yet, EVERYONE was safe because DR made fun of everyone equally and allowed us to laugh with him and at him. It was COMEDY. It was FUNNY. We have forgotten all about the fact that jokes are just that - JOKES. This was 16 minutes of pure joy, the like of which would NEVER be allowed today....and our world and society is all the POORER for it.

it's so amazing that his humor was so aggressive, as he put it, yet he was such a nice and loved and loving man. a very special person.
