Oh No

...

...the last great legend of Sinatra's friends is gone, he even appeared with Joe Pesci, not just in Casino, but in Snickers...

So Long...

A very sad day. Don is legitimately one of the funniest human beings to ever walk the face of the earth. He's unarguably the greatest insult comic of all time. He worked with all the greats. I'll never forget him.

RIP Don Rickles

Very sad. I didn't see this coming, despite his age. Another legend is gone.

One of the most colorful characters ever. Don't know what he's saying here, on the set of "Run Silent Run Deep" (1958), but probably something like, "HE gets the role of sub commander instead of me ?!"

Always made me laugh, and was a favorite of my parents', as well.

I always thought that CPO Sharkey was a very underrated sitcom, too.

RIP "Mr. Warmth"

Hopefully Mr. Rickles wasn't called "Hockey Puck" by St. Peter when he arrived at the gates of Heaven.

RIP. Although I am not a fan of CPO Sharkey, I think he was very funny. Can't wait to see him on Carson tonight.

Found out what he's saying - "He can't act !" OK, Rickles, that's pretty good-I mean, great ! Yeah, I'm going to watch the show, too. Thanks for the heads-up, Svenfan.
