A classic clip - here is Johnny Carson on the Tonight Show, confronting Don Rickles (while shooting LIVE on the set of "CPO Sharkey") about the cigarette box that Don broke while guest-hosting the night before! This originally aired in Nov., 1976, and is mentioned on a Wikipedia page about CPO Sharkey!!!
Don, I've loved you since the day I saw you on that Gilligan's Island episode and all through the years! You are an incredible entertainer and a true American legend. You inspire me!

Don is the man its as simple as that. We love what you do don, and thanks for it all.

I love you and you've taught me the greatest lesson in life, The older you get, the more you hate people. Keep up the good work and don't croak before I get to see one of your shows! :>
It was a pleasure meeting you and Mr. Newhart in the 80's. Don't ever stop making the world laugh... or pissing them off. Which ever way they take it. Don Rickles Rocks!!!
Mr Rickles, They don't make comedians like you anymore. I have always enjoyed and admired you. My cousin Dave worked at a Sports bar in Indian Wells CA. He has waited on you and said you are the greatest.
