Zach handled this perfectly by not talking to Rickles like "Old man/legend", and you can see rickles appreciated that.

For those that feel sad when reminded about the loss of this treasure of a man consider the fact that we actually had him here for 90 years. I imagine other worlds in other universes where a Rickles never even existed. The guy having graced us for so long is cause for celebration.

2:44 it is extremely gratifying to watch Zach actually smile. Like, not a character. Not a fake “ha I’m dead inside” smile. A genuine, pleased with himself, somewhat star-struck smile. Makes me happy.

Don Rickles, the nicest 'mean guy's' ever. He could take it as well as dish it out, and the guy kept it going till the end. Respect and lessons for us all... Lesson for all of us in that.

Don RIckles had one of the biggest, kindest hearts of anyone I've ever seen. This world is a much less happy place without him in it.

This was wonderful to watch. My dad loved Rickles [as he would call him] and rarely missed a show of his whenever he came to town [Chicago]. He also supported Don with his jazz band opening for him. He was a drummer. Don played too and asked dad for lessons to help sharpen himself up. He also saw Don many times too in Vegas. Him and mom would dress-up, hit the venue and grab a table at the front on the right. Don always absolutely ripped dad to bits every time. Dad used to say, "You can't get much better than being roasted by the maestro." Dad passed in 2014 aged 90. I've gone on too long! I'll just add that it was a pleasure to see something so funny and respectful too. Thank you.

The table. Oh, man. Why did you have to bring that up ? The suffering. The endless pain. Some people weep for the homeless. Some weep for victims of war. Some weep for the malnourished. I weep for the abused. Specifically, the desk in Jimmy Fallon's studio. How does Fallon live with himself ? That desk has more injuries than Terry Funk. (Which is interesting because Terry Funk used to jump through tables. Or be slammed though them. Or he'd slam others through them.) But at least he'd destroy them quickly. But not Jimmy Fallon. No. That's not Jimmy's style. No indeed. He TORTURES the desk. He beats it like a red-headed stepchild. Every single night (except some nights). Every single guest. Bang ! Bang ! Bang ! And woe betide if the guest is a comedian ! Then the beatings are twice as bad It makes me sick. That desk won't live to see 10 years old. I'm surprised its lasted as long as it has. Can you imagine how much that desk has gone through ? Its gone way past common assault. Now, we're witnessing torture ! And the audience laughs ! They laugh at the sight, like drunken yokels watching America's Funniest Home Videos. While the desk just sits there, disabled, desperately wanting to escape, but condemned, until death, to endure Fallon's ferocity. I cry for that desk. I weep. I spill oceans of tears. When will it end ? When will this MONSTROUS spectacle end ??? The savagery. The undiluted violence. The cruelty. The horror. The horror.

Don, there will never be another like you, one of a kind sir, miss you dearly.

This was a very good interview. It was incredible that, even in the last years of his life, while being elderly, as soon as Don got a microphone in his hand he was 40 years old again, and "on." Zach did a great job with this interview. His comedic attempts were appreciated because he did not try to go too far with them. When one is in the presence of greatness it is best to bask in it and enjoy the moment than to attempt to prove you are on the same level and fail miserably. That's not a jab at Zach, it is respect for Don Rickles.

I feel like the "when I go to bed at night, I think of your work" didn't get enough appreciation. He's basically saying Zach is so boring he puts him to sleep lol

When I was a kid I watched Blazing Saddles on HBO with my Father, probably late 70's, he laughed so hard at the "farting scene around the campfire," I thought he was going to die laughing (truly). Never saw him react like that before or since, died in 1998, but I still remember it clearly. A good experience. This interview brought up that memory.

What an incredible opportunity to meet a legend and personal favorite, especially right before he passed away. And he was still sharp as anything.

Listening to what my dad laughed at is a big way of how I judge humor today.... I remember Don Rickels making my dad laugh so hard that he had tears in his eyes dozens an dozens of times

Don was GREAT! I have never seen him sound so nice.

I’m blown away by 2 talents 2 generations apart connect. It shows how both are have grace

I always loved Don Rickles. One day in my early 20's my girlfriend took me to see Frank Sinatra at a very small venue so we were super close to the stage, like maybe 30 feet. The stage was circular - apparently the venue used to be used for cattle auctions. And Frank Sinatra's opening act that night was ... Don Rickles! Man was he awesome! So quick, so funny. And that Frank Sinatra guy was no slouch either :) The leader of the band was Sinatra's son Frank JR. What a night

Don Rickles is one of the most iconic Comedians ever. The story of him and Frank Sinatra at the restaurant, is one of the funniest stories ever.

Don Rickles, funny, relevant and a class act, through his whole life and even made me laugh afterwards.

“Is he laughin’ or comin’ towards me?” Stuff like that is so quick and hilarious 😂
