    Denzel sitting there giggling like a little kid the entire time because he’s so happy to be with Don is so wholesome

    • @Curtis-y9r
      @Curtis-y9r Місяць тому +61

      Wholesome is s nice word to use and it's also true.
      May I add classy to it.
      Mr Washington was there to be insulted by someone he watched in the seventies on Carson I would say and I think he mostly did it because everyone wishes they could be insulted by Rickles but I think he may have been absolutely horrified that he went on before Mr Warmth and the least he could do was to be a prop and to show everyone who he thought was the star of the show.
      And he knew it would be a better show because of it.
      Pure class.

      ​@@Curtis-y9rIt's also the entirely wrong word to use because there are words like nice and pure and over sixteen different adjectives to use in between them as opposed to mistakenly thinking wholesome means the same as nice. It's such a dated term that means something is morally conducive to your wellbeing.

The man could make you laugh at a funeral. Nobody was safe with Rickles he would look at you with a straight face, insult you, and move on to the next joke before you could recover from the first one. I loved that man dearly one of the greatest comedians that ever did it. Rest In Peace, Mr. Rickles.

      Part of it was that literally no one was spared, and there was no predicting who was next. A lot of insult comics make their name by picking a target and unleashing a constant barrage...Rickles would take potshots at anyone and everyone, but it wasn't indiscriminate. He landed every shot with surgical precision, he rode it just long enough to get the laugh, and then he moved on. He might do callbacks to his original joke, later, but he didn't dwell on any of his insults long enough to create any sense that he actually felt that way. An absolute master of reading the room and reading his crowd, and it's a shame that there's not more material discussing the development of his career and how much of his mastery was learned from trial and error versus what was just inherent understanding.

      Its very rare, and very difficult to tow the line on racial comedy... Rickles with his Jewish background, and being a minority is very aware of that line and masterfully plays with that line of offensive and funny. Almost all the comic who has been masters of that racial comedy usually comes from a minority background.., because racial minorities are far more aware and see that racial problems and differences much more clearly in their lives...
      That's why Bill Burr is really a oddity... He is also a master of that racial comedy and tows the line so masterfully, but he is white...lol.

He knows exactly how to let a joke rest, just like steak. Sometimes you can't be too aggressive with how you drive a joke because then it won't be funny anymore. It will be tired.

    Creating online content wasn't really a priority yet in 08, but they should have continued this segment even after they went off the air. Rickles was on a roll here and so proud that a big time actor like Denzel Washington wanted to be out there with him.

  • @sethnotes
    @sethnotes 13 днів тому +2

    I've talked to several fans of Rickles about this segment over the years. Consensus is that if this isn't his best appearance ever (not just on Letterman but on all talk shows, including on Carson--yes, including on Carson), it's got to be in the top 5. This was pure gold from beginning to end. Honestly, I think Rickles got even funnier towards the end of his life. But why isn't the entire clip (including the beginning when Rickles comes out and fawns all over Denzel while he makes Dave wait) used? Even the fade out to commercial break (which is also left out) is funny.

    skills complete the package. Blessed
    with a beautiful family it's safe to say
    Mr. Washington is our favorite.

    Keep in mind that I'm a child and can't comprehend the "joke" but my grandparents were so tickled I felt like it must be funny. When I got older, I appreciated how witty and hilarious he really was 😂😅😂. RIP 🙏🏾 Mr. Rickles
