Happy Birthday - Don Rickles




When I mentioned him in a previous piece today I didn't realize that today is Don Rickles 82nd birthday.

So to honor him today let's see a piece from one of his many Tonight Show appearances with Johnny Carson.

Hilarious!!!!

He is in fine form here.

And I still say he would make a great Cheney.

Hey, that was really good. He's a classic. And was that Madalyn Kahn? Man oh man, It's been a long time.

Same as it ever was said...

yes indeed, that was Madeline Kahn star of so many movies.
My favorites of course being .....
Blazing Saddles (1974)
Young Frankenstein (1974)
High Anxiety (1977)
History of the World, Part I (1981)
And while History of the world was not Mel Brooks greatest, it had some terrific "bits".
My favorite being Madeline selecting here Gladiators or slaves "Yes, no, no, no, yes, no, no, YYYEEESSSSSS!!!!!
