[Great-Kazoo]

Another of the great comedians has departed.

That's too bad. A true icon. He made it a good long time. I bet being able to vent like that as part of your career is good for stress levels......and he could vent like no other.

[Squeeze]

Yeah, 'ol Don could really let it fly. He lived a good long time and we were blessed to have him for as long as we did. RIP Don.

While Rickles was brutal (in a humorous way) to others, this is my favorite way to think about him:

If ever there was a time we needed Don Rickels, this PC soaked SJW invested age is surely it.

[roberth]

Foster Brooks was pretty good there too.

[ray1970]

Don Rickels used to crack me up.

[Bailey Guns]

An icon of my childhood and early adult years. He was a funny man.

I did have the good fortune to see Foster Brooks while stationed in Japan in 81 or 82. What a great show he put on, too.

[Gman]

RIP, Don. A guy that could tear up anybody with his comedy, but was a real sweetheart in life.

[Duman]

Not just a great comedian, but a great actor and person.

[vossman]

Ah dammit!

[Gman]

Oh man! Crapgame gone? Kelly's Heroes is my all time favorite movie. Rickles' character Crapgame took that perfect movie and made it even better. "A deal deal. Maybe they guy's a Republican."

R.I.P Don, you schmuck.

[theGinsue]

RIP Don. You make me laugh a lot through the years.

Sadly, I think we'll soon be losing Bob Newhart, Jerry Lewis and Dick Van Dyke too.

[pickenup]

Another of the greats gone.
R.I.P. Don

Don Rickles and Johnny Carson were great together - just recently saw a Johnny Carson show with Joan Rivers, and Don Rickles.
Sat there thinking that Don had survived the others - wow!

[buffalobo]

In his early days doing stand up, I bet any who heckled him were sorry afterward.

RIP.
