Missed it. I saw him just a few years ago live, he was the opening act for Joan Rivers. He was so funny!


We also saw them together. She was absolutely disgusting to the point of being vile. Yet, I still occasionally watch Fashion Police.

He was really a joy to watch.

I also show the show on Spike TV the other night and by DH and myself really liked it.

I've never cared for his brand of humor. I amazed he got away with all the Sinatra/gangster jokes the way he did.

I just watched it yesterday and enjoyed it. ITA about Brian Williams - Love him! He's a good journalist, but he's also very funny. He and Jon Stewart together are hilarious.

I already deleted it from my deleted folder, so I cannot remember the name of the show. So I went through the Tivo guide up to June 12 and didn't find a re-airing. That seems odd. Most cable shows air a zillion times. Maybe it will show up again after that.

If you have something like the 'wishlist' thing we have with Tivo, you can wishlist it and then whenever it shows up again it will automatically record.

It is called One Night Only, An All Star Tribute to Don Rickles.

I thought he and Sinatra were friends?

Rickles was on Dave Letterman's show the other night and Rickles explained why he is walking slowly and using a cane for now. He had a bad injury to his leg or foot.

always enjoyed his humor, but I would have just DIED if he'd have picked on me out of the audience. Shame,,,,I laugh but could NOT take itl
