That type of humor doesn't translate very well today. Everybody is just so sensitive.
I miss Rickles.
I used to watch the beginning of the Johnny Carson show to hear what guests were on. Whenever they announced Don Rickles as a guest, I knew not to go to sleep until AFTER I watched the show.
NAB Hall of Fame - Trek, Larry King, Don Rickles - Raw Footage - 1992
I attended the National Assoc of Broadcasters Convention in 1992 and they were inducting the ST Crew and Don Rickles into the NAB Hall of Fame at a luncheon. Was shocked no other fans seemed to be there. Videoed the bunch of them chewing for 3/4 of an hour. They showed one ST music video but the friends at my table all agreed that mine were much better. Don Rickles appears at 15:45.
