    How he brought the black lady and gentleman out - in those days that meant a lot and was really important for the civil rights movement. This was not a joke - it was a message. I love Don!

      Don's entire opening act would have got him canceled by the leftie Democrats today.
      He wouldn't be able to find entertainment work anywhere.
      If he did the same act today... no Republicans on the right would have tried to have him canceled.

    I can just imagine producers and techs in the control room going nuts with sounds, camera angles and eventually throwing away the script and finally just winging it. Rickles has the ability to put every professional in show business on their tows. Great action!

    While Don made a lot in Vegas, he wanted to stay closer to home by doing a series in Burbank. He would have been a great late night host of his own show, but it would have diluted his Vegas act so he didn't. After Carson retired, Rickles hit the road once again and his updated tour was a huge hit. The guy was working almost up to his death. Amazing man he was.

    • @jennybasa5817
      @jennybasa5817 2 роки тому +4

      The man's mind was still sharp at the age of 90. The last bit he did was Dinner with Don hosted by Scorsece and De Niro. What a way to conclude. I couldn't watch that still because I just end up feeling very sad that Don had passed away. He was looking very frail and passed away 3 months after. I only wish that I had seen him live.

    I have never seen this clip before and I'm so glad I had it come up in the listing.....it's just funny as hell! Listen to what Rickles says in his monologue and you realize with all of the political correctness and the 'walking on eggshells' that is so common today, that no one now would ever be allowed to get away with any of what Rickles did. What passes for late night talk shows now are pathetic.....Colbert, Kimmel, O'Brien, Meyers, Corden and Fallon are all garbage!

    • @bluecollarguy67
      @bluecollarguy67 8 років тому +3

      Ian Berg I tried watching it, but I just couldn't sit through more that 5 minutes of it. He hasn't done much for CBS in late night and I'm still waiting for the inevitable announcement that they will change time slots between him and James Corden.....it's just a matter of time, I think. What I really do miss is The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.

    I love these old comedy shows. Back then you could get away with some racial material because the audience, including the people who were being made fun of, know that they were just jokes. Now a days if you say anything close to this you get a law suit against you for slandering and indecency. People had much thicker skins back then.

    One thing I love about Don Rickles is that after doing his shtick with a member of the audience, he asks the audience to give them a hand for being a good sport about it. I was lucky enough to see him live once and he did the same thing there. He never wanted any of the people he "picked on" to feel bad about it and that's a lesson that a lot of the later insult comedians didn't seem to learn.

    people just had no idea how nice and real this guy was thats why he is so funny.... back then you could use racisim and crude and cold behavior as comedy and i miss that... cuz everyone knew it was for the show and he was not like that. much like most of us older gen.. now everyone has to hide it and pretend to be offended while still laughing at just jokes.
