Don Rickles was a great roaster.

Had terrible luck with TV series though.

They wouldn’t let him be nasty on the TV series and that’s what he was great at.

Today the under 40 audience would leave crying, snowflake babies they are.

Man, do I miss those days. Haven’t watched a night time show since Carson retired. Sigh ...

My favourite Dean Martin celebrity roasts are the ones when Rickles was the MC.

Thanks for posting....

Saw Rickles at a small club in Upstate NY....the guy was more like a wonderful, gentle grandfather than a jokester....a real sweetheart!

A complete act. Dean always had Apple juice back stage to give the appearance of bourbon. Frank Sinatra was asked this question about his friend Dean Martin during an interview, Frank said “I’ve spilled more booze by accident than Dean has drank over the years”.

Or when Sammy Davis jumped in Dean’s arms and Dean thanked the naacp for the award?

Yeah but it made it fun

And if that’s the case ALL the time, he’s pretty damn good at acting drunk :)

Definitely great movie.

In fact, may be time to watch it again.

Been a while :)

Would they have hired someone who couldn’t speak
without cue cards, and whose eyes never left them?
Why, yes, they did. Take a bow, Dean.

Night time shows today are nothing but an attempt to denigrate our fabulous president.

But Foster Brooks was better. And he was a teetotaler.
