Haha. This is great. I feel young (finally!) watching this. I was 1 when this aired.
I've been feeling old (23 this past month :P) as of late. Nice to be reminded I'm not. :D
-
You was one, I was in the Army, and you feel old? :huh :mad:
-
Sat and watched this with my 12 yr old boy today. Don't know what was better, watching it or explaining to him who Don Rickles is :aok.
-
Don Rickles plus Foster Brooks on the same dais = laughing so hard you had tears in your eyes.
Nothing comparable today.....sad,
-
The guy never really did it for me. Always seemed so forced. I liked him in a few movies, but thats about it.

Foster Brooks :D The best sober "Drunk" there ever was :aok
In 91, I was at Ft. Dix, NJ - Army Sgt and Instructor. 2 tours (6 years) in Germany completed.
31 years young, Married with 3 kids :aok
Here's an even older Carson/Rickles from 73, with Burt Reynolds and Buddy Hackett :rofl

Good stuff! :D

The outtakes from his last TV show were priceless as is his participation in the "roasts" of the 60s and 70s.
He also had one of the higher body counts of all the stars in "Kelly's Heroes".

Thanks for the laugh. Goose stepping in Munich and Newhart saying "don't do that" :rofl
Johnny was the best, what we have today fares worse than paling in comparison. Leno/Letterman ~trash...not to even mention the other hacks.
Comments following are interesting, "so eerie commercial about space shuttle colombia...," I'm not sure why it's eerie, because Challenger was 5 years before, or because it would disintegrate 12 years later.
Cellular commercial is funny.
I wonder what will say is funny 20 yrs from now...maybe nothing?

It will be the same as it always has been. They will mention the names popular now in 2013 and then add "now THAT were funny guys... we have nothing like that today" :old:

What I meant was, maybe 20yrs from now we won't look back at a lot of stuff and say that's funny in the way we do now, like laughing at a cell phone the size of a briefcase. Or maybe we will?
That may be that generations always go through this cycle of looking back and thinking that was so funny or influential, ergo we don't have anybody like that today (or at least in their prime.)
But :old::
I'll give a list, mostly American and terribly culturally imperialistic of me I know, sorry, just some names off the top of my head:
Johnny Carson: legend... I sincerely do not think anyone comes close, do you?
Johnny Cash: enough said
Steve McQueen: at one point was anybody cooler?
John Wayne: enough said
James Dean
Jim Morrison
Roger Moore
Robert Duvall
~Sean Connery (early, maybe some later stuff)
Eva Gardner
Audrey Hepburn
Katherine Hepburn
Elizabeth Taylor
Lucille Ball
Harrison Ford (could be one the most mentionable (imo) from my generation)
~DeNiro deserves to be mentioned, but has become rather sweethearty.
Also I'm a child of the late 80's, graduated high school in '94 and this list has a lot that passed before I was even born, yet they are what comes to mind. To me that makes them truly iconic, rather than what I see from my generation as a lot of psuedo-icons. I'm sure everybody has a different list and a lot of those outside the US will have some that were as influential where you grew up, but can you argue any on my list don't deserve to be noted as great?
Oh well sorry got off on this huge tangent, Rickles is great!
