God speed, Mr. Warmth. You kept me laughing for nearly 60 years.Comedian Don Rickles has died at age 90.
Paul Shefrin, his longtime publicist and friend, said Rickles died Thursday of kidney failure at his Los Angeles home. He would have turned 91 on May 8.

It became a badge of honor to be insulted by Don Rickles.
Rest in peace, Sir.

Another original is gone. All of the rude, foul mouthed comedians of today are a cheap imitation of Mr. Rickles.They always use the word 'insult' with me, but I don't hurt anybody. I wouldn't be sitting here if I did. I make fun of everybody and exaggerate all our insecurities. - Don Rickles
Rest in peace.
The left lies about everything. Truth is a liberal value, and truth is a conservative value, but it has never been a left-wing value. People on the left say whatever advances their immediate agenda. Power is their moral lodestar; therefore, truth is always subservient to it. - Dennis Prager

Re: Don Rickles dead at age 90
I have been unable to find video of it, but one of the funniest comedic exchanges I've ever heard in my life was between Don Rickles and Little Richard on the Tonight Show. Little Richard performed, and he was wearing an extremely flamboyant shirt that was hot pink with sequins, which he later said during the interview portion that he had designed and sewn himself. Rickles was either in one of the other guest chairs, or he was guest-hosting....I don't remember which....but Richard offered to make Rickles a shirt of his own just like the one Richard was wearing. Rickles' reaction and the exchange between the two of them was pure gold.
I laughed until tears were running down my face.

It's amazing, the people who would attend these Dean Martin roasts - Ronald Reagan, Neil Armstrong, Frank Sinatra, James Stewart, Gregory Peck, Bob Hope, Milton Berle, John Wayne, etc.bblhd672 wrote:Another original is gone.
