    This 'best of' segment is about 4 hours too short... Every appearance of Rickles is the best of Don Rickles. It's easy math.

    I was lucky enough to be in the audience for Don Rickles' final appearance on Letterman, right before the finale week. He came out during the commercial break slowly with some assistance to his seat and didn't get his grand matador entrance, but man was he still 100% mentally on it. Especially considering he had to go back and forth with Howard Stern next to him as well, he wasn't missing a beat and was still throwing 100 jabs a minute like he always did. It was after the Indianapolis 500 and because Letterman's team placed 3rd I believe, everyone in the audience received free Steak & Shake milkshakes! No musical act that taping either, just got to enjoy PS and the CBS Orchestra for a long outro and that was amazing to hear professional musicians at the top of their game just grooving for an additional minute and a half. One of the best experiences in my life so far.

      Indeed. The ability for a guest to cut against the grain is no longer possible due to the "big boxing" of talent agencies behind the booking. Back then there were about 20 agencies where-as now there are I think TWO (CAA & ...).
      So you can't be "chancey" w/ guests anymore and instead just parrot lines about "the production must have been challenging because _____".

    04:28 . I can't even breath. This is the best ever. It works on so many levels. it acknowledges that this is all somewhat an act and not a pure interview. it acknowledges the fact that they are both comedians and instantly understand the bit. It acknowledges the fact that for the most part dave has to sit there and act interested to many of his more boring guests. It is the best. To see how quickly rickles picked that body language out and went with it in a heartbeat, derailing his own story for this banger of a joke.

Included here is where Don already is teasing Dave for getting stuck on his words and making funny noises, which already cracked me up. But when Don went after him for using his hands like a ruler that took me over the top.
    It also was a show where they went overtime under Don's blessing! LoL. It would be fantastic to get the ENTIRE conversation with Don in HD while Denzel stayed there thoroughly entertained.
