      @lakemichigan6598 Před 7 lety +5

      nj13 etc. So you think I'm naive for believing the emotion Kimmel showed relative to the loss of his friend was real? Well, it was very clearly real. It's been well known for years they were great friends. And unfortunately, you're too cynical for your own good. Either you are unable to recognize true emotion or you refuse to.

      That is pretty cool. I'm sure you know this but Don (& Sinatra) were actually VERY early proponents of rights for other races and religions in America. He was very supportive and open to all groups of people.

    This was HILARIOUS! I am 50 years old. When I was 17 I'm walking with a friend down Hollywood Blvd in FRONT of the Merv Griffin Show Theater. A guy is out front passing out tickets FREE and asked us if we wanted to come in. Don Rickles was the guest. We go in, we are the ONLY TWO BLACK PEOPLE in the audience. (Well you know what that means, lol)
    Don comes out and is doing his stand up and people are going wild laughing. We were enjoying it but WE ARE 17 and we actually NEVER BEEN TO A TV TAPING so we WERE a bit nervous being there. At one point Don tells a joke, the audience rolls, then he stops with a serious look and says; "Look at the two Black guys sitting there, barely moving, looking at me like they want to rip my head off. Yeah, I know, I know, they got you in here by telling you RED FOXX was going to be performing and now you're really pissed cause I ain't Red Foxx!" The audience rolls! " Look at them staring, (he clutches his heart) Move over Elizabeth, I'M COMING TO JOIN YOU TO RIGHT AFTER THIS SEGMENT!"
    And for the REST of the night we were the brunt (IN A VERY GOOD WAY) of all his jokes. Been a huge fan every since. He touched MANY people.
    RIP
    This was a great tribute.

    To be perfectly honest, I've never been a Jimmy Kimmel fan. Something about his brand of comedy always put me off. But watching this video, my heart went out to him. His eulogy to Don Rickles is the saddest, sweetest thing I've watched in a long time. It says a lot about the latter that he would be remembered by the former with such kindness.
    Thank you for sharing this moment of vulnerability. I know you miss your friend, and I hope each day is a little easier for you.
    All the best to you, Mr. Kimmel.

    I only discovered Rickles on youtube when I was 17... 2 years ago. But I remember the first time I saw him in digital form. I was watching the Dean Martin roasts. And this shorter balding man slapped Dean Martin, heckled these legends up on stage with him. And not only did he get away with it, he had everyone crying with laughter, including me. I was in love with this mans character right away. The next few weeks I would watch every single roast with Don RIckles including his standup. I'm tearing up, because I never knew this man. But his true warmth and powerful presence was felt even in a teenager living in the other side of the world. I always wished I was older, had more money, just so I could see him perform live, or even talk with him... R.I.P Mr. Warmth / the best insult comedian there have ever been! :'(

      Jimmy Lehtimäki I'm from the UK and I too discovered Don Rickles through the Dean Martin Roasts, and also through videos of Deans Variety Shows of the 1960s. Did you see the wonderful exchange between Dean and Don on the Bob Hope roast? "You haven't reached that year yet!" "Thank you, Jerry!" Absolutely hilarious 😆 ( of course you have to know about the long-term feud between Dean and Jerry Lewis after they split up their act in 1956 to understand the joke, which as you are still only a teenager, you may not have heard of)

      You really need to Google and look up his appearances on Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, take a look. You do not need to be an American to enjoy his style of comedy, which was brutal but funny. He would be rude to you, but you knew it was a joke and he actually had a warm heart. Thank you.

I remember I was in Hollywood and I was crying and I was going through a lot of depression and anxiety and I went up to him and said I'm really depressed can I please talk to you. He said to me "what's wrong" he could tell I'm harmless that I just needed someone to talk to. I told him "I feel worthless I love comedy but, people don't understand me" he said "a lot of people don't. I didn't understand Sarah" (Sarah Silverman" he hugged me and said "you'll be okay." "Let's stay connected on Twitter" till this day he has made my life so much better. I love you Jimmy you have such a big heart!

But he keeps a bit of barrier between his self, celebrity, fans and friendship. But with Jimmy Kimmel, you KNOW you are his friend. He is Everyman. (sic)" Thank you Jimmy, for your loving, kind words. And tears. We feel the same way about The late Mr Warmth, Don Rickles.

    The best Rickles story was told by Sinatra himself on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson many moons ago. Don was eating at a restaurant with a girl and spotted Sinatra at another table. Don went over to Sinatra and asked him to wait a while and come over to Don's table to say hi so the girl would be impressed that her date knows Frank Sinatra. So when Frank approached Don and his date at their table and was gonna say hi, Rickles replied : " NOT NOW FRANK, CAN'T YOU SEE I'M EATING!" That to me was the greatest Don story ever. I know I'm only 30, but Don Rickles is my favorite comedian, and I'm greatfull CZcams has so many of his performances for us to watch. Maybe I got couple of details wrong on the story above, I apologize if I did. R.I.P. Don Rickles.
