Thank you to the Newharts for letting us have a peek into their private life and friendship with the Rickles. They were very lucky people to have such a profound friendship.

Ginnie passed in April this year. Bob's the last one of the four still kicking. What a life to have lived. What a group of classy, great people.

Their longevity in comedy, marriage, and friendship speaks volumes.

I hadn’t realized both Barbara and Ginnie have now passed. What a life these folks lived together♥️

Judd Apatow, thank you for being smart enough to capture these moments, with the warm respect you always show to the great comedians. You're a mensch.

Judd you seem to never fail to bring.... humor, sweet, gentle, affectionate humor. Feeling nostalgic and sad, especially today, my beloved husband who passed a week ago, it is his birthday today, would have treasured this gift you brought us all today.

I like Newhart so much - loved both his famous shows and yes his commitment to his wife and family was so admirable. I did think his friendship with Rickles was confusing until you see the love they have for one an other. He's 94 now and I am so pleased he has lived a wonderful life - so deserved.

The ending to the Newhart Show was THE BEST!

What a great way to remember their friendship...

Don Rickles was a monster of comedian. The best of the best period.

I used to see the Newharts and Rickles dining at The Beverly Hills Hotel on Easter. Happy folks enjoying life together.

Love this. Judd also honored Garry Shandling with a great documentary after he passed on and I think it's great that he's doing it as these are comedians who deserve as much remembrance as possible

That’s a real friendship. It’s the paradigm for friendship. Shalom and RIP Don & Barbara.

Their families' long friendship is so beautiful to know about. ❤

Two legends that should not be forgotten. Amazing job Mr. Apatow, Thank You.

What a beautiful documentary not bout comics, not bout laughter, but bout friendship. Very well done.

I'm not crying, I just have something in both of my eyes.

This documentary is such a treat! Grateful it was done before Virginia passed. They are all such great people, truly a gift to humanity.

Did not expect to be moved. Legends and Friendship never dies.

What an incredible and special relationship between them all. Lovely people.

I'm in England. We never had Don's shows here, or the roasts, but he did appear on TV on the very odd occasions. Bob's series was shown here, and I never missed an episode. When the internet happened he was one of the first Comedians I looked for. Incredibly clever and funny.

I always felt bad for Don and his wife when they lost their son Larry - no parent should outlive their children - RIP

Isn't it just fantastic that two of the funniest men that ever lived happened to have two of the greatest wives and got to be the greatest of friends, too.

I was already tearing up as the documentary progressed but when Don Rickles sang at the end I started bawling. I am so grateful for the humor that Don Rickles brought to my life and the humanity dignity respect and love that he promoted as a human being.

Beautiful story, beautiful friendship

Judd, your love for both men shines through

I used to stay up and watch Carson with Rickles. It was fantastic and still makes me laugh. This is a wonderful documentary.

How lovely! Such a wonderful tribute to two of the monoliths of comedy and a side we never get to see as fans. Loved it.

How rich their lives were, to have such wonderful friends, to travel together, to share laughter and create memories like that. Oh so lucky ! Beautiful docu. Loved it.

Thanks for the memories.....and there are sure a helluva lotta great memories. Great job, Judd.

Don was the GOAT ❤ glad to know he had true friends. Such a sweet guy

What a wonderful documentary! My parents loved them, my husband and I love Newhart & Rickles, American Treasures~ wish we could have seen their Vegas shows. Newhart is now 94, amazing! Rest in peace his wife Ginnie, Don Rickles and his Barbara.

what wonderful and fortunate souls...they knew their blessings all along.

What a treasure these guys were.

Thank you Judd. Thank you Newhart's. This should be introduced to the library of congress. May the all greats live on. There would not be comedy without them.

What a gem . I could watch it over and over . Thank you Judd .

You did us all a favor by making this. Two of our legends and a simple story of love.

Two great comedians, two very different styles. Newhart was a class act. Rickles was a wonderful insult comedian, and celebs would feel insulted if he DID NOT go after them. He made us laugh at ourselves. We need another Rickles again, we’ve forgotten how to laugh.

This was unexpected and lovely.

We should all be so lucky to travel together through life with such dear friends

I am still wiping tears. What a beautiful way to honor those lovely people. Thanks Judd!

Moving tribute to high caliber people. All four and their children. Bravo on and off stage.

Thank you all for making this possible!

Bravo to Judd. Thank you for this.

THANK YOU Judd!!! This was a moving tribute to two great titans of comedy. Thank you..

That was a wonderful accolade to two of the best comedians ever. Thank you, Judd.

How awesome! I grew up watching/listening to these guys! Another great thing about being a GenXer!

Wow, loved both of these men! Those were the days, the golden years. We'll never see anything like this again. Breaks my heart but the memories are wonderful!

Great stuff Judd….wish it was longer!

What a wonderful story of a wonderful time we’ll never see again.

What a great mini-doc! Almost like a sequel to Don's 'Mr. Warmth'. Brought back a lot of memories, laughs and envy of their friendship.

I've watched this twice in 2 days, their friendship is exactly the same as my dad and my godfather. They are both in heaven now and life isn't quite as funny or as colorful without them. A wonderful film. Thank you very much for posting this.

This was an unexpected, absolute treat! Thank you to all who made it happen! 👍🙏😎

Judd, Thank you *SO MUCH* for sharing this little slice of Bob's and Don's lives with us. Bless them all!

This is the best film Judd Apatow has ever made.

Thank you for your documentary done with TLC of an unforgettable, memorable and loving friendship that lives on!

Great Documentary about an amazing friendship wish it was longer. RIP Ginnie, Barbara, and Don.

"You've got to end your act with a dead person of some kind." Clever touch, Judd.

this was great. Newhart was always one of my favorites. If there was to be a Mt Rushmore of stand-ups a solid case could be made that he would be on there.

I’d forgotten about their friendship. Pair of geniuses. My parents owned the first Newhart and I think Driving Instructor was one of the earliest external influences on my own sense of humour. What a beautiful piece of film.

This made me feel far better than OK to be a Boomer. Thank you for telling a beautiful story.❤

An excellent documentary! My thanks to Judd Apatow and The New Yorker.

I loved when they talked about each other...lovely guys. Richer folks there never were...

Everyone should have a best friend like these two guys and gals did........ Bravo, WONDERFUL video!!

This was a lovely gift. Thank you Judd!!!

Awesome documentary Judd , love them both They were blessed to have a golden friendship

What a sweet, touching little film. Grew up watching these two giant comedic talents.

"I miss them.. I'm going to cry". wow... that was so beautifully moving that sums up a beautiful, full and fulfilled life. it's sad but I know it shouldn't be, this documentary is one of the most moving things one of the best friendship pieces I've seen in my whole life and it shows you the value of friendship of love of camaraderie, but also life's journey all journeys come to an end and that's the part that sucks of getting older but the constellation prize is for the blessed individuals that have full lives beautiful friendships and wonderful memories thanks Judd.

What a gorgeous and perfectly paced and funny, emmotional film.... just excellent.

This was beautifully done. Don's comedy might have a hard time getting off the ground today but I think he had a lot of love in his heart.

Thank you so much for making this Judd! I sorely miss having Don Rickles on this planet RIP

these guys were awesome Newhart was one of my favorite shows

The greatest Christmas gift I never knew i needed: A sequel/ follow up to Mr. Warmth. ❤️❤️❤️

Wonderful. We used to listen to Bob's records so much in the early '60s. Very lucky to have such a long close relationship.

Legendary Film, Legendary Comedians, Thank you for this!

friends are so important to well being, they don't get much notice in obits but it is your friends who make life worth living.

This was amazing Judd. thank you for this glimpse inside these 4 wonderful people's lives

newhart is still sharp as can be. wow. blessed.

What a beautiful friendship!

Thanks for the memories!!! How special these wonderful people are and were!

Omg what a tribute to these comedic legends. And what a love story between the two couples and also the friendship. It lasted 60 years ❤

I loved every minute of this. What a story of love and companionship.

I think Bob's wife has passed away now, since this was made. (Someone correct me if I'm wrong.) I've known about Don and Bob's friendship for quite a while and have watched interviews of them together. Thank you for making this video about their friendship and the friendship that both families shared with each other!

This is so beautifully made, it’s delicate, it’s compassionate and it’s sweet. I actually cried watching this - I’ve never had a friend like this. Beautiful ❤

Mr Apatow I found this documentary absolutely lovely, thank you so much.

A great tribute to friendship and proof that love endures.

Great tribute for two legends of comedy. Wish it was a full length documentary, so well done.

Yep, me cry. They both made me laugh practically my entire life. It’s Christmas Eve 2023 and I miss my mom and my grandmother who both, correctly, disliked my ex wife.

Thank you for making this Judd. It is a real treasure to have these memories preserved for all of us who love these performers.

Beautiful friendship and tribute.

That was great. It reminds me how finite life is we need to be thankful for the time we have together.

Beautiful! It all goes so quickly this life we live

That was absolutely the sweetest documentary. I've never cried so much while laughing. True gems.

Thank you so much for shining a spotlight on these two legends and such a beautiful friendship.

Thank you. Pleasure to watch.

This was such a beautiful and moving tribute to their love and friendship. I laughed and cried and laughed some more at that final anecdote.

What an amazing friendship. What beautiful lives. Thanks for sharing this. 💜💞

Unexpectedly excellent bio of the funniest best buds of all time!

This was beautifully done! I enjoyed this. I've enjoyed these wonderful souls taking us along on this once in a lifetime journey. That was their life. Not their lives. Their life

Wish this was a 6 part series, absolutely wonderful!!!!! ❤
