Beautiful home. BTW, Rickles would be cancelled today by BLM.

Is it shaped like a hockey puck?

When Foster Brooks roasted Rickles it was great and no one laughed more than Don Rickles did.

[Pearls Before Swine]

Long ago, I heard Don poke fun at himself. He had done a world tour, and he said,

“The Japanese are so polite. Everywhere I went people nodded and said, “Ah-so! Ah-so!”.

Flashback! Looks almost exactly like the side entrance to Scripps College.

Saw Rickles in person in a small club. While he seems Nutty...he was closer to being like a grandfather. It was a great show.

Gordon Kaufmann did Scripps. Had to be him for Rickles’ place too, that Colonial Revival style is too close, it’s like a fingerprint.

“Oh great we have a seal in the audience!”

He was great as Don Adams’ side-kick in a few Get Smart episodes. Seemed to be good chemistry between them.

Thanks for the listing link! I hope all the photos on the wall in photo #16 convey.

Don Rickles is a legend...we’ll never see the likes of him again in today’s cancel culture society. Very nice home. But for that money I’d rather live water side or on a mountain somewhere instead of a concrete jungle surrounded by high rises.

$6.5 million for a crib in Los Angeles county insane.

There are a number of Dean Martin roasts available on YouTube that feature Rickles in his prime.

The guy would leave me laughing so hard I’d be in tears.

And everyone was a target, from Sinatra to Lucille Ball to Reagan.

No one got a pass.

[gloryblaze]

Awesome! President Reagan, Rickles, Jack Benny, a well-oiled Dean Martin and even Mark Spitz, I think. It doesn’t seem all that long ago...

From the story:

Shortly after Rickles’ death, his coastal estate in Malibu’s Point Dume sold to Equinox founder Donato Errico for $6.5 million.

"Maybe the guy's a republican.."

[Rennes Templar]

He was honored at a tribute in LA once. He said, “and this is the home of the blacks. And I see three here. But there’s one more, he’s up in my hotel room robbing me.”
