Legend. My fav rickles joke was when he was asked how Frank Sinatra was doing towards the end of Frank's life. Rickles replied: “Oh, he's ok, you know, he's got Sicilian Alzheimer's...he only remembers the grudges.”

[armandocastro]

As a non-American, I just discovered Don Rickles and he is amazing. Wow. RIP

[nikhil.jKulkarni]

"Where was the first time you met Robert DeNiro?"
"At a whispering contest" 😂😂

Classic Don!

After being on a Don Rickles binge for several hours, I can honestly say that he's the greatest comedian that ever lived.

[MrRoach-yomz]

I worked for Mr. Rickles in the mid to late 90's as part of his personal security, the stories I could tell would make a great "Tell All" Looking back, I think I would have worked for him for free, he was a wonderful, kind and feeling man, he insulted me daily & often, that's his way of saying, "I Like You". .... The world was a better place with him in it! The Last Of The Greats!

RIP Mr, Ripp

I was doubly-blessed...I had the distinct honor of interviewing Don for an article and he was everything you would want him to be, funny, genuine, and truly humble, despite his legendary status. I also saw him live several times in Vegas, one time he yanked me outta my seat and labeled me "a Nazi bastard.". One of the great nights of my life. There will never be another Rickles..the Mona Lisa of standup.
Alluva shalom Big Guy...

The best story that Rickles tells about Sinatra is when Don has a first date with a girl and he sees Sinatra at another table in the restaurant. Don had just met Sinatra for the first time just recently and goes over to Sinatra’s table and asks Frank for a favor to please come over to his table and say hello because he wants to impress the girl with the fact that he’s good friends w/ Frank. After a while, Sinatra comes over to Rickles’ table to say hello and Don goes “Hey! we’re trying to have a nice dinner here! You got some nerve pushing yourself on me. Don’t bother us!” Supposedly Frank just dissolves into a puddle laughing his ass off and it was the impetus on why they became such good friends.

Dude was still funnier at 90 than most of us can ever dream of being...at any point in our lives. MASTER!!!

[pattydixon]

He never fails to crack me up, his wit was razor sharp. But his humanity is what shines through. There is no doubt that he was a very caring man who knew not to take things too seriously. RIP.

[jfkkennedy]

Much respect to Rickles, offended everyone and yet, offended no one....

[lrvogt]

At the tribute Tina Fey started talking about Don as if he was dead. Amy says "Don's not dead. He's right there." Tina says "Oh, I thought someone left their handbag."

[andrevaudrin]

I discovered M. Don Rickles very late in my life (i am no American sorry) and i find him totally amazing. And here, i love this format. Great guy, really.

[sensorytask]

Thank you Don Rickles for all the laughs and Love you shared so grandly to the world. RIP Don. I'm 74 today and on my way to my moment of transition with you in my heart. Peace.

[mjsschad]

I have always loved Amy's personality. She is always so smart, funny, kind and beautiful.

[gsmith]

Just love her with Don going back and forth. The two of them making us laugh makes a lot of sense. Can feel the respect between the both of them.

[milanmiladinovic]

This show is so priceless, way to go, guys, a nice show to salute Don's impeccable career.

[ajsky]

The women in the background aren't even pretending that they can't hear !

[Micsqlv]

The extras in the background laughing uncontrollably is hilarious. Don is so funny!

[A-small-amount-of-peas]

Undoubtedly the greatest ball buster of all time. You can tell he recognises that Amy is a Boston sparkplug and is worthy of his company
