Yes he is a legend, yes he worked with the greatest in showbusiness, and yes he had his biggest days when I wasn’t even born yet. Even so Don Rickles is somehow timeless. Somehow he had a few month ago a slight comeback in the mainstream media with his new book. A HBO special followed, a very bad one to be honest. The greatest moments were the rare cuts showing Rickles live on stage, the rest of this “movie” spread very random moments and interviews in an almost after-life kinda way.
But Youtube is there to keep legends alive. It’s really hard to find out there material showing him “in action”, since any scripted shows he did didn’t run very long and there are just a bunch of Carson, Letterman, Leno or Kimmel interviews out there. And youtube is hiding some other germs. Don Rickles stared a Sitcom with Richard Lewis called Daddy’s Dearest. Even the show as canceld, the outtakes are absolutley hilarious. It’s worth watching every second of it and makes you want more of this genious entertainer.
