Don Rickles Heckles Jimmy Fallon and The Roots

He can still roast anybody like no other.  He will destroy you and your pride and you will still laugh about it all the way to the end.  89 yo folks... That's one hell of a career.

[JoshJakeG]

wow. Don has lived in 3 different eras of Tonight Show host. God bless him

[billloman]

I met Don Rickles once. He called me a baked potato and said I didnt even have butter. It was among the finest moments of my life.

[RubyRed]

Don's facial expressions are EVERYTHING.

[freedoms]

I really miss him. Never never will we ever meet a comic like him. One of a kind.

[leeandrewuk]

"I never liked you"
Think he meant that one

[GINGI]

Don is a legend, a comedic icon who is truly one of the funniest individuals to have ever existed

[blodgettshouseofinsanity]

I had the pleasure of meeting Don a couple years ago. We talked briefly and he heckled be at first. It was a great honor to be picked on by one of the greats. As we talked I realized that he was such a very kind, sweet and gentle man and was so full of life. RIP.

[eharper]

I love it when Don gives this heartfelt complement to someone and then goes, "From the bottom of my heart, I never liked you." 😂😂😂

[KitariFox]

I feel ashamed for not knowing about Don Rickles until now and I'm 28. I just found a video of him while listening to the great Frank Sinatra and had to see who he was and I'm so glad I did. Better late than never though right?

[TenThumbsProductions]

It would be awesome to hear Rickles speak at a graduation.

[PiazzaGurl]

"And that finger... that's a great bit". 😂😂😂😂😂👌👌. Mr. Rickles is the Man!!

[alaskagal]

Rickles to Fallon:  "You don't have to jump in.  I'm on this show:  there's nothing that says you jump in."

Don Rickles, comedy legend.  God bless you sir for saying those things we always wished to say, but didn't have the guts to do so.

[adriande]

Rickles at that age could still run circles around a guy like Fallon

[spoke]

Jimmy cried backstage after the show, probably still crying right now

[snarkbark]

This is the most genuine interview jimmy has had with a guest.

[nobeladhikari]

Claasic Don!!! Builds up praise and at the end, ''I never liked you" or "Youre a lousy actor'' or ''Its over''. HAHAHAHAHA

[Broodkast]

The guy was more quick witted than most people, even when he was 90. What a mind.

[jblackbath]

The end of a magical Era. We are ever so proud and grateful to have walked in the same earth and breathed the same air as a Light, and a Legend, such as the great Don Rickles. One of my biggest heroes of comedy and style. Thanks Don, for all the songs, and all the laughs. Im sure you're finally back with the boys up there, chuckling it up with Frank, Dino, Sammy, Johnny Carson, and all the other Titans that graced our television sets and theatres during a time when class was king, and grace was queen. You are eternal Don Rickles, and your light and your spirit will forever shine up the comedy skies in an endless supernova of warmth, joy, and perpetual laughter- the likes of which will never be seen again, but will be remembered for the rest of timeless time itself. May you live forever under the spectacularly bright light of The Ages Don, among all the other golden gods and miracles that you were so very much a part of even during your time here. You are platinum Don Rickles. You are pure Platinum, and you will always shine. On and on, Forever and ever.
