We had Don Rickles for 90 years. It wasn't enough.

In the late 90s I asked my parent’s if they wanted to go see Don Rickles. My father immediately refused and said that he didn’t like him nor his material. My mom said yes after I encouraged her. She brought a friend instead of my dad. So it was me with three women counting my wife. As you may know Rickles, he made me the target of a series of jokes because I was at a table of four with three women. He said that I was a “Lesbian that didn’t get the memo”. After the show he came to tell me that I was a good “Sport” and wanted to know why I had “All the girls”. He asked why and I told him about my dad. He asked for me to dial him on my cell. Which I did and my dad didn’t believe him. Then Rickles began to beg my dad to believe him. To this day he doesn’t.

I want this to be true. I do believe and love the idea that if rickles really gave it to you as an audience member he'd come up after and thank you for being a good sport. He made fun of everyone and hated noone

I am a black hispanic who absolutely LOVES Don Rickles. Been watching him since I was six and am now almost 50,,

Ditto, except Im white German, almost forgot I'm supposed to hate Jews and burn crosses or some shit. But, that racist shit is all a lie. You have good taste, Rickles is one of the greatest. His part in Kellys Hero's is so god damn funny still to this day. Cheers.

Race is funny. Ethnicity is funny. Because both similarities and differences between us are funny. As a WASP you can know nothing personally about the Jewish experience in America and still die laughing at all the Jewish greats. What ethnic group doesn’t have a Jewish mother, for example? Same goes for black and brown comedians who traffic in their ethnic American experience (unlike Cosby). Who doesn’t love the racial humor of Dave Chappell and Richard Prior? We need to get back to laughing with one another. Over our differences AND our similarities.

I've had the Blessed opportunity to meet Don Rickles in person at his home in his kitchen. After his wife introduced me his response was well I didn't think I'd have to fucking meet you today. I was scared shitless. This happened during their move from Beverly Hills to Century City from a house to a condo. I wish we had comedians like this today.

The timing of his answer after having been complimented on his timing is one of the greatest moments in comedians interviewing comedians.

I was blessed to see Don live before he passed. Such a wonderful family man and so very talented. His legend will live forever.

I saw Don Rickles with Sinatra. Great. I never missed Dennis Miller Live.

Rapid fire Rickles. My dad took me to see him in Vegas when I was 17 and that was in the 70's. I got his humor then and laughed my ass off and he's just as hilarious now. I love Don Rickles.

This was actually an insightful interview with Don... most guys can't break through the act to get to what makes him tick.

Rickles is an absolute genious, best quick one liner guy ever. Thanks for sharing

he is incredible he brings everything back to the present moment, love him

R.I.P. MR. WARMTH YOU WILL BE GREATLY MISSED ONE OF THE FINEST COMEDIANS EVER!!!! COMEDY CLASSIC

love how the chick tried to bring race into it, twice, and they both just blew off the topic. good for them!

fantastic. Dennis MIller and Don. What a pair.

One thing never talked about with Rickles is his clothes. He was always a dapper dresser immaculately put-together. Back when men give a damn about themselves and respected their hosts enough to dress appropriate for the occasion. Mr Warmth had class.

That was just the vibe of the show, you know cussing and everything. Dennis on SNL dressed it up nicely. Big thing with don is he never wore suits. Always different color slacks and jacket even then that wasn't how it was done. Look at Bob Hope and Bob Newhart for example. Johnny Carson was of the same ilk as well. Now all the late night hosts and SNL weekend update just where big old expensive tailored suits. People dress them. Talk about having no pride. Anyways Dennis Miller is a great dresser always has been. Check the tape.

To all who have been ripped by Mr Warmth you should take a bow....you were mentioned by one of the all time GREATEST... It is considered an honor

I loved Don Rickles, he was hilarious. I was fortunate enough to see him live before he passed. I was dating an eastern european woman at the time who didn't know who he was. So when she asked about him I told her that he cut up people and without a blink of an eye she said "he's a magician?' I howled, made the moment even better...

Rest in Peace Mr. Rickles!

Don Rickles is exactly the opposite of being politically correct indeed! And THAT is exactly what comedy is all about. You absolutely nailed that.

I agree dude.

Thanks for posting this. I am so happy that I "discovered" Don Rickles. There's nothing like sharing great senses of humor. This man is truly an original, best of the best.

I've always known of rickles, but didn't really look at his stuff until recently. I've been binge watching everything I can find, and I'm totally obsessed! I'm 42, so it has nothing to do with nostalgia. Even though he tells a lot of the same jokes, he somehow makes it feel fresh every time. No idea how he does it, but it doesn't matter, hopefully someone will eventually pick up where he left off, and do what he did on some small scale.

a timeless classic

Dennis' laugh is amazing

Yeah ,all the way to Arlington Cemetary ---- Such a sensitive patriot without a care for the wind's direction . If l only we had Mr Miller at our windsock after he looked out on his selfie radar thing that was so important to love hmself yet again so relentlessly . So good Dennis now , that you're maybe not so lovey dovey in your mirror ---- Dennis , one of the luckiest people getting luck in history ---- very very untalented man apart from gathering luck like a luck magnet for it's own sake ! If you can can get this far maybe I'm wrong as Dennis Miller should be going back through the 12 steps . IRAQ ? ---- You certainly were banging that drum Dennis !

"Nobody makes me laugh as hard as you with timing jokes" "Fine..." LOL!!!

UNBELIEVABLE! If Rickles, Norm, and Dennis could have been in the same room it would have been dismantling beyond repair.

Love Don he's the best ! !

Don Rickles is a comedic category of his own.

These two are brilliant.

Thankyou Mr Warmth for getting us thru this Pandemic 😉

He has a very fast and sharp mind!

🏆💯The Superman of standup comedy. Thanks, DON RICKLES❗

still one of my favorites

Great find flap jack, keep em coming!

GOD BLESS MR. RICKLES ! !

I got to go see DML show once...was my favorite show in the 90s

truly don the greatest comediant everr... so sharp amazing!! The KING DON!!

Man, its sooo refreshing to see a talk show host "in-love" with his guest. Dennis Miller reminds me of a kid and his idol, its great to see him laugh his ass off at Rickles. Love it.

He really has the right timing, Rickles is/was a topcomedian. Became known as an insult comedian when he responded to his hecklers. The audience enjoyed these insults more than his prepared material, and he incorporated them into his act. "When you enter Frank Sinatra`s room, you have to kiss his ring. I don't mind, but he has it in his back pocket".

Man, Dennis was WAY too happy. I can't really blame him, though. I'd be stoked beyond belief being in the presence of the great Don Rickles.

My all-time favorite comedian, Mr; Don Rickles. The man had so much class. I could see why he was considered as one of the best-dressed men in Hollywood. He could wear the suit he was wearing on this interview to an interview now and it would still be stylish..

Rickles is the best. And a very good actor. I would like to have seen more of him. Back in the day his Vegas act was up there with Sinatra and Elvis.

Love you Don. Miss you. Don and Sinatra, the classics of their era.

Dennis Miller is one of the funniest comedians of our time. He takes the same aproach that Rickles seems to take. Dennis' timing is perfect sharp intelligent. I would pay big money to see him in concert. Wouldn't you?

Seeing Don Rickles on Dennis Miller reminded of when Don hosted Saturday Night Live. He pretty much stole the show. He did some brilliant ad libs through out the episode. I’ve searched for clips from Don’s episode, but I’ve never found any.

don rickles is the man!!!!!

Together these two really are funny!

You just look at Rickles and are ready to laugh. We miss you Crapgame

Miller is having the time of his life

Miller , a Patriot🇺🇸👍🏼

That’s what they mean in the biz by “crushing it.”

a GENIUS @ work

Talking to Rickles is like dancing with a razor blade.

Rickles is a Leland!!! and Miller is Awesome !!!!

completely agree. I find it really grating he rips the Jim Carey-Rickles impersonation thing and does all the 'ah's after responding to each caller. Surprised Rickles didn't catch him on that, maybe he thought it was like a tribute to him or something

Rickles was right about Dennis' wardrobe.
