Don Rickles (1926 – 2017) was an American stand-up comedian, actor, and author, known especially for his insult comedy. A headline performer at Las Vegas hotel-casinos and peripheral member of the Rat Pack via friendship with Frank Sinatra, Rickles received widespread exposure as a frequent guest on talk and variety shows, including The Dean Martin Show, The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson and Late Show with David Letterman.

Frank Sinatra (1915 – 1998) was an American singer, actor and producer who was one of the most popular and influential musical artists of the 20th century. He is one of the best-selling music artists of all time, having sold more than 150 million records worldwide.
American music critic Robert Christgau referred to Sinatra as "the greatest singer of the 20th century". His popularity was later matched only by Elvis Presley, The Beatles, and Michael Jackson. For Santopietro, Sinatra was the "greatest male pop singer in the history of America", who amassed "unprecedented power onscreen and off", and "seemed to exemplify the common man, an ethnic twentieth-century American male who reached the 'top of the heap', yet never forgot his roots". Santopietro argues that Sinatra created his own world, which he was able to dominate-his career was centred around power, perfecting the ability to capture an audience. Encyclopædia Britannica referred to Sinatra as "often hailed as the greatest American singer of 20th-century popular music....Through his life and his art, he transcended the status of mere icon to become one of the most recognizable symbols of American culture."

Don always ending his roasts with genuine wishes of well-being is one of the reasons he’s the greatest roast guy of all time, nobody else even comes close

Sinatra and Rickles had a deep respect for one another. They both knew, nothing is more important than family and friends

😂 Dude I can’t even tell you how many times I’ve heard that “you’re gonna come into a lot of money” joke and it still doesn’t get old 😂😂. He was a master at delivery. I’m so glad I found out about him before he passed.

Don Rickles… the only man who could talk straight 💩 to Frank Sinatra’s face and get him to laugh about it and still walk away alive…

And that, boys and girls is a legendary comedian who'll still be known 100 years from now.

I've always loved watching Don Rickles performing. I miss him, no one could make me laugh as he did. Now I make wise cracks as he did and it does make my friends laugh. I learned from the greatest, the one and only Don Rickles. RIP Don Rickles

It's a Great story how the 2 of them became friends Sinatra was in a restaurant for lunch, he was in a shitty mood and angry about everything, unknown to him Rickles was also there at the same time, when the waiter brought a course to Sinatra, he really wasn't happy about the quality of food, banged his fist on the table and shouted at the waiter - - at the same time, a glass fell off Sinatra's table and smashed. When Rickles heard the noise and the glass smashing, he shouted "pass the ketchup Frank!!!", that was it, Sinatra burst out laughing and the 2 became good friends
