I loved the old drunk act Foster Brooks did. PC people today would complain if he were still around.

Most are kinda phoning it in, but in part 2, Jonathon Winters as Maude Frickert just nails it! Rickles is great as always (and none of what he says would be allowed on any PC television show today.
Reagan gets in some great zingers too.
Thanks for the post and link Pally!
Phyllis Diller was nearly prophetic.
Some of the best comedy ever. Now were stuck with SNL or a bunch of potty mouth morons.
Those roasts were great. I remember watching them when I was a teen. My parents and I were almost falling off the couch laughing so hard.
Rickles also did stand up at Reagan’s 2nd inauguration party. It was classic. It was an honor to be made fun of by Don Rickles.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjnJw99AP7U
I have these on DVD.
The Reagan roast is a good one.
Here are 2 funny clips.

That was great!
Thanks,
I have known personally all the old Stars listed in this thread, and I can absolutely tell you, that not ONE of these people would give Obama the time of day, my old friend Sammy Davis Jr would have Spit on him, as would most of them, especially Dino and Mr Sinatra. Don Rickles is probabaly the funniest I have met, and he is a hoot to sit down and talk to. If he wasn’t so frail I am sure he would be speaking out, I was over at Bob Newhart’s a couple weeks ago and he is in line with all these old guys, as well as Jamie Farr. None of these REAL MEN would give this clown their ear for any reason.
So funny! Thanks.
