Rickles died shortly after this meeting. He was 90 years old. I wish my mind will be as sharp as his when I am 90.

[victorpark]

Out of all interviews I’ve seen of deniro this one is the one he’s genuinely happy and talkative!

[FincentVan]

One of the best actors of all time
One of the best directors of all time
One of the best comedians of all time

[eliance]

This looks like 2 sons having dinner with their dad.

[justinherbert]

Don passed away 9 weeks after this was filmed -- RIP
PS - it was very nice of Marty and Bob to do this special episode with Don. You can see the love they have for him.

[tonyarmada]

rickles roasting deniro on the set of casino is just gold

[MartyRayProject]

I’m so sad to have binge watched every one of these to find out that this was the last. 😢 What a legend.

[baboom]

First time i see the real De Niro. He is all smiling, relaxed, involved. He likes the company. As opposite to the talk shows and interviews.

[rajasimanta]

Who says old people talking is boring. This is GOLD

[scottym]

DeNiro worth 500 million had genuine panic in his eyes when he thought he had to pick up the check.

[arneyoga]

"With your method acting with the breathing and the bullshit! Do the lines and let's get out of here, for Christ's sake!"
The funniest quote ever.

[inquisitorilyaal]

when he said "those where good days" refering to Vegas in the 50s. Man I can only imagine...

[boogiedownbronx]

the only person who can make Robert DeNiro laugh

[junkboxhero]

"This is the final thing Don ever did professionally" C'mon, is anyone shocked that he was taken out by two Italians?

[Sai-jwog]

They paid tribute to Don by portraying him in Irishman. True Legend

[AsiBoy]

First time I've seen DeNiro so comfortable. Cant wait to watch the rest of the interviews.

[Blueveteran]

This was Don's last professional/public "performance". Wow. And what a great one it was! The last one as great as all the one's before. RIP Don, you were one of the greatest!

[trevscribbles]

"...that's all you got to say?"

Perfect response to a genuine sentiment from Don Rickles. That's a friend speaking.

[rossdiamondthief]

“You touch me, you’re in a lot of trouble”

Don Rickles is the only one who can say that to De Niro

[TushPoint]

That last outtake where Don commemorates Martin's mom. You see how touched Scorsese was. Wasn't a fake Hollywood reaction, was a real emotion. Priceless.
