Hockey puck.


Its one of my favorite descriptors for people.

I learned it from Mr. Rickles.

RIP Mr. Rickles. I get a good laugh whenever I watched him.

Interesting to me how many comics, like Rickles, were good dramatic actors.

He and Johnathan Winters were probably the two quickest wits in entertainment. Either one of them could ad lib their way through most anything.

Jonathan Winters is in a different class for me; more like Robin Williams then old-school poke 'em in the nose standup comic such as Rickles using insults as a key instruments for his comedy.

Jonathan Winters certainly was great at ad hoc or even prop comedy. Completely different styles to me; which doesn't devalue their entertainment capacity.

Remembering him mostly from my youth on shows, more than movies, this was back in the 60's.

Thanks for the laughs , Don, you were special.

I realize time moves on, and waits for no one, I am glad I grew up in his era.

Just spent well over an hour on youtube watching him on Carson & the roasts. Time well spent.

RIP, sir. Death, you hockey puck.

You knew there was not a malicious bone in his body, and that's why he could be insulting and funny. RIP

Don was awesome. Seriously funny guy. His material that intersected with Sinatra and the Rat Pack was truly comic Gold. We'll never see the like again.

If I could transport myself back to the mid 60s to Vegas to a show at the Flamingo, with the Rat Pack with Don there.....just wow.

I remember watching CPO Sharkey and laughed the whole show. I was wondering why they were playing so much of him on the satellite channels.
