Mr. Warmth Passed Today

Before Triumph the Insult Dog, there was Don Rickles. Loved to watch him. The only time I saw him at a loss for words was when he broke Johnny Carson's cigarette box and Carson confronted him the next day.

when he broke Johnny Carson's cigarette box and Carson confronted him the next day.

I so vividly remember that when he confronted Rickles on the set of CPO Sharkey That was before those nice handheld cameras and they pushed the full sized TV camera from one studio to the next.

His humor was so quick, nothing like it now but the dog, and he's not quite as fast or caustic. :(
