I was saddened to hear of his passing. That era of entertainers are quickly disappearing. What an icon he was!

First thing I thought of was Regis Philbin. I think they were close...I forget if they did shows together...or what. ha. RIP

I saw this not long ago. Just a few weeks ago, DH pulled up a bunch of clips of him and we had some really good laughs. I'm glad we did that then.
RIP Don. Many prayers for his family and friends.

My first thought on reading this was Bob Newhart. He and Don were best friends, which I've always found funny, since their comedy has always been so opposite of each other.

I was never particularly a fan of his as I generally don't like insult humor. But it's sad to lose another of that generation.

He's been around forever. I wasn't that big a fan either, but gosh, RIP Don Rickles.

Ahh, thank you for the reminder mom. He gave Mr. Potato Head a great spirit! Hard to lose these icons. |

Jimmy Kimmel sounds like he is having a very difficult time talking about his friend. Aw!

I remember him from all his appearances on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. Good times. RIP

I'm so sad to hear that he passed away. I loved Don Rickles and he was one of a kind.
