Tim Conway is the same way in some respects. Once he goes off on a tangent there’s nothing left to do but ride it out.
Yeah. A lot of the great ones. Jonathan Winters also comes to mind.
A friend of mine looked like Charles Manson.
He had a picture of himself standing with Manson and you couldn’t tell which was which.
He went to a Don Rickles show in Vegas.
DR saw him and proceeded to do his entire show around Charles Manson sitting in the audience.
He said the audience was about to fall out of their chairs laughing.
He said he wanted to crawl out of there but dared not.
After the show DR came and sat with him, had pictures taken, and signed one of the pictures to Charles Manson from Don Rickles.
The casino gave him a couple of thousand to play with. Free room and food.
You would have to kill him to get those pictures of him with DR.
