John Stamos is a good guy for setting that up.

Don is visibly content when Howard praises him

RIP Don Rickles...one of the best insult comics ever.

"The man works in a closet for christ sakes" 🤣🤣 Don never disappoints

[akshatagrawal]

Howard didn't sit down after Don came in, as a sign of respect. Big ups

[onestepbeyond]

Sinatra use to call Rickles
" Bullet Head "
LOL

Don Rickles is a legend. Even Howard Stern, who is cocky, and in love with himself, looked up to him. R.I.P Mr. Rickles.

Don is probably still heckling Frank now up in the pearly gates :)

[crystalmorris]

I'm LIVING for Howard's reaction. He stood the entire conversation 🖤

[KathleenMcCormickLCSWMPH]

Howard stood in respect. Amazing. I don’t even think he realized he was still standing he is that enthralled by Rickles.

One of the funniest comics ever. The master of the off-the-cuff insult. No one like him. Hysterical.

[Davenport]

The look on Don's face when Howard compliments his career is awesome. True legend.

90 years was too short a time for this man to be on earth

[MrFlamethrower]

I really wish they would fully upload these old interviews.

[birdynumnum]

I saw Rickles a few years before he passed away and lemme tell you... *HE KILLED IT! Pure genius. I laughed my ass off!*

[nickmarino]

Howard giving Don his due,
Priceless I cant belive im gonna say this here goes.
That was classy how Howard stood up out of respect for one of his idol's.

[MrLorddarktoothx]

when do you ever see howard stern truly respect anyone or anything this much. just shows how magnanimous Don Rickles was. RIP

[keefriff]

Rickles was a goddamned legend. That Sinatra story is a classic...there's a Tonight Show clip from the '70s on YouTube with Sinatra and Rickles where Sinatra himself tells the story.

[dasaggropop]

probably the only insult comic that never insulted anyone. people would get in line to have him take a shot at them. what a legend.

[victorchaz]

I love Don Rickles! Howard did not sit down and I fully understand what he means by that.

[stevennieto]

Wow two legends in the same room, Rickles and Stamos.
