This was HILARIOUS! I am 50 years old. When I was 17 I'm walking with a friend down Hollywood Blvd in FRONT of the Merv Griffin Show Theater. A guy is out front passing out tickets FREE and asked us if we wanted to come in. Don Rickles was the guest. We go in, we are the ONLY TWO BLACK PEOPLE in the audience. (Well you know what that means, lol) Don comes out and is doing his stand up and people are going wild laughing. We were enjoying it but WE ARE 17 and we actually NEVER BEEN TO A TV TAPING so we WERE a bit nervous being there. At one point Don tells a joke, the audience rolls, then he stops with a serious look and says; "Look at the two Black guys sitting there, barely moving, looking at me like they want to rip my head off. Yeah, I know, I know, they got you in here by telling you RED FOXX was going to be performing and now you're really pissed cause I ain't Red Foxx!" The audience rolls! " Look at them staring, (he clutches his heart) Move over Elizabeth, I'M COMING TO JOIN YOU TO RIGHT AFTER THIS SEGMENT!" And for the REST of the night we were the brunt (IN A VERY GOOD WAY) of all his jokes. Been a huge fan every since. He touched MANY people. RIP This was a great tribute.

@jimmylehtimaki109 7 жыл бұрын

I only discovered Rickles on youtube when I was 17... 2 years ago. But I remember the first time I saw him in digital form. I was watching the Dean Martin roasts. And this shorter balding man slapped Dean Martin, heckled these legends up on stage with him. And not only did he get away with it, he had everyone crying with laughter, including me. I was in love with this mans character right away. The next few weeks I would watch every single roast with Don RIckles including his standup. I'm tearing up, because I never knew this man. But his true warmth and powerful presence was felt even in a teenager living in the other side of the world. I always wished I was older, had more money, just so I could see him perform live, or even talk with him... R.I.P Mr. Warmth / the best insult comedian there have ever been! :'(

@lindashelley3635 7 жыл бұрын

Jimmy Lehtimäki I'm from the UK and I too discovered Don Rickles through the Dean Martin Roasts, and also through videos of Deans Variety Shows of the 1960s. Did you see the wonderful exchange between Dean and Don on the Bob Hope roast? "You haven't reached that year yet!" "Thank you, Jerry!" Absolutely hilarious 😆 ( of course you have to know about the long-term feud between Dean and Jerry Lewis after they split up their act in 1956 to understand the joke, which as you are still only a teenager, you may not have heard of)

@jimmylehtimaki109 7 жыл бұрын

To be perfectly honest, I've never been a Jimmy Kimmel fan. Something about his brand of comedy always put me off. But watching this video, my heart went out to him. His eulogy to Don Rickles is the saddest, sweetest thing I've watched in a long time. It says a lot about the latter that he would be remembered by the former with such kindness. Thank you for sharing this moment of vulnerability. I know you miss your friend, and I hope each day is a little easier for you. All the best to you, Mr. Kimmel.

When I suffer depression I normally go on a binge on Conan, Stephen fry, Rodney Dangerfield and Don Rickles. He's not exactly a big name over here in the uk but I've kept up with American late night chat shows for a decade or so and I'm glad I found Don. Thanks for making me laugh and forget my problems for a while. The best thing is I know I haven't seen all your work so there's more for me to enjoy. Rest easy ya hockey puck!

Jimmy, there was absolutely no need for you to apologize through parts of your monologue, no need to say sorry for being emotional. It was real. It was you. Some of us even cried with you. We felt your pain, we felt your loss. We all feel it too. Thank you for the stories, thank you for sharing with us.

This is a beautiful tribute, and makes Jimmy even more human than ever. Very humbling. I read somewhere, either a book, or a Time Magazine, or Rolling Stone article this quote: "Everyone wants to be David Letterman's friend. But he keeps a bit of barrier between his self, celebrity, fans and friendship. But with Jimmy Kimmel, you KNOW you are his friend. He is Everyman. (sic)" Thank you Jimmy, for your loving, kind words. And tears. We feel the same way about The late Mr Warmth, Don Rickles.

The best Rickles story was told by Sinatra himself on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson many moons ago. Don was eating at a restaurant with a girl and spotted Sinatra at another table. Don went over to Sinatra and asked him to wait a while and come over to Don's table to say hi so the girl would be impressed that her date knows Frank Sinatra. So when Frank approached Don and his date at their table and was gonna say hi, Rickles replied : " NOT NOW FRANK, CAN'T YOU SEE I'M EATING!" That to me was the greatest Don story ever. I know I'm only 30, but Don Rickles is my favorite comedian, and I'm greatfull KZfaq has so many of his performances for us to watch. Maybe I got couple of details wrong on the story above, I apologize if I did. R.I.P. Don Rickles.

I lived and worked in Las Vegas for six years and was going to a movie one night with my wife. Mr. Rickles was in the concession line right in front of me getting popcorn for his wife and himself. Very nice man. He leaves a vacuum that will never be filled. May he rest in peace.

Mr. kimmel, You do not have to apologize for your show not being your regular show. We don't come here for the comedy. That is part of it. But we come for you. You are the reason we keep watching. And with all of the laughs you've given us, you deserve a night to be emotional. I was heartbroken hearing that he had passed. Kelly's heroes is one of my favorites. Anyway, hang in there man. We're all behind you.

We lost a great. I was deeply moved by his tribute and the emotion he displayed was enough to make anyone sob. There is nothing any of us can do after losing a legend like Don Rickles, nothing besides wish that life didn't have to come around to death, especially for someone as amazing as him. The greatest comedian to ever live. He will be missed.

Hey Jimmy, If you ever see this, I want you to know that the same way how Mr. Rickles (R.I.P) made you laugh and was an important figure in your life, is the same way you are to others including myself. I may not have my own talk show to do a tribute to you when your time comes, so here's my tribute to you now. You are one of the best comedians/talk show host I've ever had the pleasure of watching and listen to. You are truly a Genius and very good at what you do. You are an inspiration..... P.S. every time I have a bad day, I just watch your videos, laugh and then get lost somewhere in KZfaq 😅😖...Hey Jimmy...P.P.S...I had subscribed because I didn't want the invisible hamster to die...😆 so I hope that hamster is old and fat✌

my first introduction to mr. rickles was the roasts he used to do in the friar's club show my friend's dad had on dvd about ten years ago. And, i thought he was the best thing in the show. Compared to other comedians and actors on the show he was always more memorable and funny. I think if there was stand up competition in the sky he would be the best of them all.
