The late, great Don Rickles. Unique, unequalled, never to be repeated. RIP

I adore Don Rickles now just as I did when I was a young girl watching him on TV with my parents in the 80's. His talent, wit, and sarcasm are unmatched. No one could possibly fill his shoes. Plus, he was a classy man, unlike the punks and wannabes that are shoved in our faces nowadays! Mr. Rickles, you were DEFINITELY worth your salt. Please keep my mother laughing in Heaven!

Absolutely broke everyone up, especially those he went after. He was the absolute best at what he did, making people laugh. There will never be another like him.

Way ahead of his time! Pure comedy gold, what a legend! XX

I miss Don Rickles, I really do. "I remember when I first met you. you said to me 'Pssst! Little Boy....'"" LOL

There is nobody in this world like Don Rickles. RIP Comic G.O.A.T.

The true and astounding legend that was Don Rickles!!!!!!

Don was always The Man!!

This guy is the funniest person ever 🤣

One liners from the top shelf.

Classic roasting and everybody had a wonderful time

I've seen all the roast like 3 times. Love Mr. Rickles

Don Rickles always cracked them up.😜😄👍😁😎

When stars could take a joke without suing

I forgot how gorgeous Joan Collins was. Classic shows that will or cannot ever be replaced. Kinda sad isn't it?

0:51 Kiss my wagon train 🤣... what a legend Don was.

One of the times Don did his bit in a empty studio. No wide shots of dais while he's roasting. Just edits of the others laughing. Don said that he did this a few times. Time wouldn't allow him to be there in person so he did his bit later. Another reason for this was sometimes the original material bombed (usually another star who was at the roast and was edited out) Greg Garrison would call Don to do 5 minutes. This happened on the roasts from the 70's too. Stars would be asked to come into studio and re do there bit or a new bit because the original had fallen flat at the actual roast. A great example of this practice is the roast for Danny Thomas. When Lucy gets up to do her 5 minutes it's just close ups of her and a wide 2 shot of her and Danny. Problem was Danny's hair in the 2 shots is completely different from the rest of the roast. In the original roast its "slicked back". In the Lucy spot it's dry as desert. Anytime you see nothing but close ups of the speaker and no wide shots of any of the dais you can bet it was done in studio after the original roast. Another sign is when the speaker is going to and from dais. Camera is high enough to show that star's head and shoulders usually. But is doesn't show anyone sitting in their chairs as he or she walks behind them going to and from. And even after all that and the general heavy editing of these shows. They're still wildly entertaining. I bought the whole set when they came out a few years ago. And watched them as a teenager growing up in the 70's. P.S. Even when Don kisses the hand at the end of his 5 minutes you don't see who the hand is actually attached to......you can bet it ain't Joan's!!

Phillis Diller is lookin good! She sticks her finger in a light socket to get that frizzed look.

Hey, he told Joan he had seen her in playboy and likes her better when she's dressed LOL

Joan Collins was still hot even in middle age, Robert at 67..I'd never be bored..

“I don't know what's worse: to not know what you are and be happy, or to become what you've always wanted to be, and feel alone.”

Don's comb-over phase. Hilarious.

His setups are simple and genius. Comedians now tell ten minute stories that aren't funny.

Dean martin was almost sober that night😂

FUNNIEST MAN TO EVER LIVE! I SAW HIM IN PERSON, I NEVER LAUGHED HARDER OR LONGER IN MY LIFE. MISS HIM VERY MUCH!

Don Rickles roasts everyone, not just Joan Collins. ha ha

I have to say, that looking at Joan Collins now, in 2016, with how she looked back then...she was beautiful looking. I never paid much attention (if at all) to her and the other prime-time soap stars because I despised those shows (Dynasty, Dallas, Hotel, Knots landing etc. etc.)...could not stand them; might've been an age thing (born in '73) but I have to say, Joan Collins is beautiful

Always fancied Joan

Dame Joan Henrietta Collins DBE (born 23 May 1933) - sister of Jacqueline (Jackie) Jill Collins OBE (4 October 1937 - 19 September 2015) - an English romance novelist and actress.

About the Love Boat: "I use it as a night light when I fool around with the wife." He said that same thing to Darren Magavin when talking about The Night Stalker. Heh,heh

I don't know every start that clip showed but I know unfortunately there will never be anyone like any of them

Happy birthday Mr Rickles RIP

Joan Collins (Londres, 23 de mayo de 1933) es una actriz y escritora británica. A lo largo de su carrera incursionó en cine, teatro y televisión. Filmó más de 60 películas y participó en más de 15 obras teatrales, pero es mundialmente conocida al protagonizar la serie televisiva Dinastía (1981-1989) en la cual desempeñaba el papel de la villana Alexis Colby. Logró imponer el nombre de su personaje como un símbolo de lujo, ostentación y un referente en la moda con sus atuendos y sombreros de ala enorme.

Don Rickles one of the greats

Rickles is funny because he roasts everyone but the guest of honor.

Mommy dearest “No wire hangers!”

Did he just call her OLD at the end?🎆😂

HEWASTHE BEST....PERIOD !!!!!

Damn Joan Collins was very good-looking

The woman in that clip photo wasn’t Joan Collins. It was Anne Baxter

I agree sir 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

funny guy😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂RIP

Pssst.. little boy! Hahaha.

No body did it better 👍

DON RICKLES 08 DE MAYO DE 1926 06 DE ABRIL DE 2017 90 AÑOS

God bless his soul. When I looked at many videos he repeated many meaning again and again!!

When the old Hollywood and the "new" clash... it's not the same seeing the gold with the recent at the time

Very funny guy.

cool..

"bit mgm lion", damn, Dino!

I was confused because the thumbnail for this showed a blonde woman. I was thinking "Joan wouldn't have dyed her hair."

This was a time when famous people laughed at themselves. God I miss those days. Famous people tday are woke,snowflake Idiots who get offended by everything and anyone. It's a sad world we live in now Unfortunately.

Sometimes on these old Dean Martin roasts, due to scheduling conflicts, roasters would record their set after the event and it would be heavily edited to make it seem as though they were really there. This is obviously one of those times. You never see anyone else in the frame with Don, all of the reaction shots are quick cutaways, and even the quality of the footage seems to fluctuate between grainy and clear. Don always seems a little off and a bit stiff when he's not actually performing live... I think he thrived on the reactions he got, both from the other celebrities and from the audience. Nevertheless, I think he was one of the funniest fellas that ever lived.

0:14 Guy on right time travelling Quentin Tarantino

When Comedy was king,

HAHAHA

You ma nigga Don

Joan Collins 23/05/33 88 años (89)

What year was this

In a class by himself

Don wasn’t really there. It was taped without anyone there.

to be honest this looks added after the event :P

Who is the lady in red? Laughin What is her name?

Did not kiss her hand lol

even though his jokes were quite repetitive but he is a legend nevertheless

Its over lol no one says that line better

CHECK OUT JIMMIE LEE THE JERSEY OUTLAW THE NEW RICKLES

His earlier roasts were much better. I think by this time Don had become a bit too comfortable!

0.50 Spot the looney

RIP Don Rickles, great 👍 Micky taker to the stars and comedian, but in this clip, he’s just repeating previous roasts to different stars. 😔🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

By this time they were starting to not understand Don's humor which is sad really.

Leaned in but he didn’t actually kiss her hand ...

and its all improvised on the spot..

Dear Joan will be 112 this year.

About the dean martin show ! Don said so many times there are so many dean roast when the celebrity’s aren’t in the same room. They recorded previously so mans times. So thats why looking very fake. Beacuse don is in the speakers but not in the room!

Not sure that Joan followed his humor....her being English an all...😂

Phyllis Diller looks like she stuck her finger in a light sock and that's how her hair style came to be

Is she still alive?

those were the days where actors and musicians were worth watching and listening to...now a days its a joke nothing compared to back in the days

Insert anything about how the past was better #ballsacks

2020, good comedy is dead.

THIS IS TALENT KIDS AND TEENAGERS REAL TALENTED ACTORS AND ACTRESSES AND SINGERS NOT THE TRASH YOU GUYS HAVE TODAY 🤮🤮🤮

MANY STAR'S WHEN THEY HAVE ACHIEVED AS MUCH AS THEY CAN IN HOLLYWOOD! THE YEAR'S ARE NOT IN FAVOUR OF GETTING "OLD" (THE SCIENCE OF THE" FLESH"). THEY IN TURN TO SHOW THEY HAVE GOOD BODIES- HOPING TO COMPETE TO LOOK LIKE A YOUNG PERSON!! "GRAVITY" HAS ALOT TO DO WITH SHAPE!!! EVERYTHING CHANGES AS WE GET OLDER!!! WE HAVE TO ACCEPT IT OR DIE!!! JUST ENJOY LIFE!!! AND REMEMBER WE ARE ALL ON BORROWED TIME!!!!!!!!!!! FROM(U.K.).

Joan Collins roast, 2.42 seconds, Joan got mentioned about 5% of that, far too much !!

Would love to see him roast the woman of the year Caitlin Jenner

Imagine what this was unedited. Horrible editing job.

If don rickles were alive today he would roast the woke culture lol 😂

Hey... something must have happened to him at the end. No nice comments? He might have been embarrassed by his own jokes (I mean calling Joan Collins ugly in the early 80s, not funny, cause there's not an ounce of truth in that) and then he kind of lost his focus and just left. I've never seen him do that...

These young comedians today can't evan come close to him.

Off form this day

i need sub ：（

Same old stick

WTF!? Phyllis Diller's hair is way out of controll

Joan Collins someone else who killed her own baby before it was born

He recycles constantly his jokes.

He's a jerk and so funny where does he get the energy

Shame about dean....most his live being drunk

Surely Joan Collins isn't still going ? She looked ancient in this clip.

Joan Collins how boaring

He used the same material all the time. Americans must have bad memories. That's why some vote Democrat every time
