The comedy god has left us at the age of 90.

This one really hurts.

I'm heartbroken. Don Rickles has been a favorite of mine since I was a kid. I never got to see him live, but I wish I had.

I remember watching the night he broke Carson's cigarette box, and when Johnny went to the CPO Sharkey set to confront Rickles about it.

I remember when Sinatra died and NBC refed an old Tonight Show with Sinatra and Rickles. Sinatra told a story about how Don was on a date and asked Frank to come over to the table, and...



What always amazed me is that Rickles could go just about anywhere and I don't remember anyone ever being seriously offended at anything he said. There have been poor imitators and pretenders to the throne, but there was and forever will be only one Mr. Warmth.

RIP, and thank you.

My daughter tagged me in a news story on FB announcing his passing and when I clicked the link it took all I had not to cry.

Dammit.

He was the last of the great ones.

RIP. Intresting fact: James Caan based Sonny Corleone on Don. He just made him meaner.

I've been watching a lot of his talk show appearances. Here's his last one on Letterman, with Howard Stern, before Letterman ended. Touching and biting. They really let Dave have it.

These are great. He lovingly rips them apart, but then is so genuinely sweet at the end. Breaks my heart.
