When I worked the Oscars, Don had to be helped out of his limousine and placed in a wheelchair...once in his chair, he blurted out, "World War II, US Navy, who knew? " Cracked me up.
Poor Rich he is still talented & going strong but these days he must feel SO alone. To think he is probably the last one left on that podium & everyone he imitates now gone but how good these times were.
you probably dont give a damn but does anyone know a way to get back into an Instagram account? I somehow lost the password. I would love any assistance you can give me.
I saw all these guys on TV and now Im 77 years old and just laughing sooo hard! They all came up the hard way but they were ready for prime time and Vegas ! Great memories 💕💕💕💕💕
This was a great set. Dean started it with his own hilarious put-down of Rich Little quickly setting a high bar. And Rich Little kept the laughs going without a let-up. And, come to think of it, Don Rickles would have made a great president.
What? You don't like pinko commies rioting and burning down cities while the Democrats praise them? I'm a millennial and I wish I grew up during the 60s and 70s.
And I don't recall Little doing Don Rickles. Then again, I was a child, at the time. Holy mackerel, he nailed it! I really like his Bogie impression, too.
Today’s roasts don’t ever actually zing anybody. Each quasi-celebrity tells one joke to the Roastee then one joke to each of the other Roasters and each joke is barely a hit. They rarely use actual comedians too. Yep, have to agree. When Comedy Central got ahold of the Roast platform they made G rated jokes a strict policy.
Ain’t that the truth air eight anything they can do they can’t compete with what was good here in the 70s and the celebrity rose between Martin and the cast and people the the comedians we have today are not as good as those of the past but just not and you’re right it’s rubbish it’s garbage it’s junk I was guys are real talented now we just don’t we just don’t have the same quality of comedians it’s just not there sad but it’s true
I recall when I was around 9, Rich used to do these hilarious commercials for Little Debbie! I used to do my own bad impersonations of Rich's impersonations of Jack Nicholson, Jimmy Stewart, etc. 😁 I'd forgotten how talented he was!
Absolutely the really good old days and nights, when late night was worth staying up late. Super fantastic entertainment....100 times better than anything today. When I look back so much better with less networks and better variety.
Great comedy never dies. We can’t laugh at ourselves anymore and that’s a tragedy i. e.; Chris Rock and Will Smith. Chris Rock’s joke was pure Rickles and hilarious. It’s why nobody watches todays performers like they used to.
Maybe the greatest collection of comedians ever gathered on one stage at one time. The woke society and media of today get a good dose of what comedy really is and leave your political narratives in the parking lot !!!
@@EternalDamned That's cool to know. He's a very talented guy. I prefer Frank Gorshin, but Little is fantastic, as well. I didn't even know he could totally nail Rickles, but he did.
Rich Little was the best st his craft. No one will ever come close. I respect him so much after meeting him when I was very young and kindly signed my autograph book just before he went on stage A true man of class
Timeless.The only person alive on that marvelous stage is Richard Little. Just think. We get to look forward to ' The View ', tomorrow. But wait.... we also get Steven what's his name on late night and let's not forget
Rich Little is the best impersonation artist who ever tried that specialty act. He's the only guy who could do a decent Don Rickles who was hard to imitate.
It's a shame that today's younger generations will never experience such raw comedic talents. All they get now is regurgitated politically correct attempts at comedy.
We have comedians today who tell jokes about Rape, Sexual Assault, Pedophilia, Nazis, Gay people, Mentally and Physically Challenged among other things. What political correctness are you talking.
There is a great thing that I heard Will Smith say what his grandmother told him. I don't remember it all but it was something along the lines of "Dear Will, Truly intelligent people do not have to use words like this to express themselves".
Rich Little had (and has) that priceless quality of raising a smile even before he starts his act - anticipation that has never been disappointed. His John Wayne and President Nixon are superb examples of his ability to create human caricatures in voice and appearance.
My bed time was 9:00, I used to sneak out, and hide behind my Dads recliner, just to watch the Dean Martin Roasts, I think there was one every month or so... Now that I’m in my 50’s, the jokes make a lot more sense... lol!
I have very little respect for current USA entertainment/Hollywood product. However, this era must have been like the High Summer of American Showbiz! This generation of Americans were exceptionally talented. From Frank and the Rat Pack through John Wayne, Johnny Carson, Hollywood Stars like Borgnine, Jimmy Stewart and Marilyn, Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon to the amazing talents of Dean And Jerry.....I doubt if it will ever be repeated. Here in the UK we missed the Golden Age of American entertainment - we had the BBC and the government controlled, stiff-upper lip, post war austerity, budget stuff. There were some gems but they were very low-key and strictly Victorian values!
absolutely could not agree more. The new bunch they have up there now i do my best to avoid them and i have stopped investing in those scumbag bitches and bastards
Rich Little, the one on the stage that is still with us. And still working in Vegas!! He is so brilliant, love watching all those men on the stage. Miss them so much.
the 70s I think ,the best entertainers ever.I could write on this forever.but it is 2017.so let's for now.say Dean Martin s celebrity roast the best during the big party of the 70s.
The greatest generation of entertainers all gathered together! Unbeatable!
I TOTALLY agree with you on that 👍🏾👍🏾
Many of whom had served in WWII.....
Drowning rubber duckies wake up people
Agreed, Legends!
They were all plugged in so of course...
When I worked the Oscars, Don had to be helped out of his limousine and placed in a wheelchair...once in his chair, he blurted out, "World War II, US Navy, who knew? " Cracked me up.
He really was a veteran. God bless him. I bet he entertained his mates!
Poor Rich he is still talented & going strong but these days he must feel SO alone. To think he is probably the last one left on that podium & everyone he imitates now gone but how good these times were.
I thought the very same thing. 😢
I haven't seen Rich Little lately. He must be lost to the latest generations because none of them know who his best imitations are.
The Best!

Good point. But guess you weren't Big Bang Theory watcher....Bob Newhart still around :)
I always love how genuinely funny rickles finds people roasting him, like he takes as good as he gets. No ego no hurt feelings. A true gentleman
And he damn well knows when they are good. Especially here with Rich
Rickles would have had a field day with Biden,Harris,Pelosi,Schumer,Blumenthal and Princess Spreading Bull.
you probably dont give a damn but does anyone know a way to get back into an Instagram account?
I somehow lost the password. I would love any assistance you can give me.

This is SO much more enjoyable than the trash and hostility that passes for "comedy" today.
Gosh these shows were funny! No swear words, all good natured fun. What a great generation of entertainers.
Sure do miss them.
Truth
Comparing these shows to the supposed celebrity roasts we see now is so different. They can't get a laugh without swearing.
He nails Rickles' voice, facial expressions, mannerisms perfectly!
The writing and delivery was brilliant. Hadn’t seen him in 30 years. How far talent has fallen.
This was a great set. Dean started it with his own hilarious put-down of Rich Little quickly setting a high bar. And Rich Little kept the laughs going without a let-up. And, come to think of it, Don Rickles would have made a great president.
We don't have anything close to this kind of talent now.
In regards to comedy...we have no talent today.
NONE
Two of my absolute favorites from way back. I was lucky to see them each, live on stage. Amazing talents.
The amount of talent on this stage is amazing. This was the Dream Team of comics.
Very well put. I totally agree!
Yes
And no cussing or cursing!
I agree
Geniuses
I am so glad I was raised in the 60's and 70's, great times.

I agree, best times ever. Sad tho that only Rich Little now 82 & Ruth Buzzi are left from these great roasts with these great stars.
This is when roasts were actually funny and they put some thought into the writing.. loved these as a kid!
The modern day roasts are complete rubbish. Rich Little is great here, thanks for sharing.

Rich Little still plays at the Tropicana in Las Vegas.
I think hes the only 1 up there whos still alive
Saw him there about 20 years ago.
They were talented,and new real humor,now look what we got,sad.
I love Rich Littles' impressions, he's absolutely brilliant. I love him
Actually his brother does great impersionations too....really...I saw them togeather in Ottawa
I recall when I was around 9, Rich used to do these hilarious commercials for Little Debbie! I used to do my own bad impersonations of Rich's impersonations of Jack Nicholson, Jimmy Stewart, etc. 😁 I'd forgotten how talented he was!
OMG great days gone. The line ups Dean Martin always managed to get together was incredible.
When you could understand humor and it was heartfelt ❤️🙌🏼😇🙏🏼

The BALLS it takes to do an impression of a guy thats sitting just to your left- pretty audacious.
This was one of the best roasts I've ever seen! These guys knew how to do it right. So thankful these guys will always live on with videos like this.
Maybe the greatest collection of comedians ever gathered on one stage at one time. The woke society and media of today get a good dose of what comedy really is and leave your political narratives in the parking lot !!!
Seeing dean martin and don rickles laughin makes me crack up in tears of laughter...lol
Everytime.
Absolutely Fabulous.
When Men were Men!!! Ol SCHOOL comedy at it's finest!! Man I miss all those guys!! Peace

God needed some humor
He got old
Is he insulting God? He is and God is loving it.
There isn't enough class in all of Hollywood to fill half of that dais.
And that's being generous.
All legends gathered at one place and having laughs..those were the good’ole days in America.
This so much better than the Comedy Central roasts of today-cussing in acts today is not entertainment
The days when people could just laugh at all the political incorrectness and not getting offended with it.
Right wing conservatives ruined it
This brand of humor has not aged well.
Not that they weren't offended, but they couldn't afford to show that they were offended. There is a big difference.
What political incorrectness?
@@Poboy448 What?? This is great!!
Great comedy doesn't need cursing, or rudeness. These guys are greatly missed.
Rich Little is still alive, and still performing at the Tropicana in Las Vegas.
@@EternalDamned That's cool to know. He's a very talented guy. I prefer Frank Gorshin, but Little is fantastic, as well. I didn't even know he could totally nail Rickles, but he did.
Imagine how funnier they'd be with the rudeness and cursing.
Back then you can joke around and not get slapped! Hey Will Smith, you should watch some of these clips and learn something.
This was the golden period of comedy.. genuine and entertaining.
3:40 Don's outburst of laughter gets me every time!
Did Rich say “alright gang” ? To make Don laugh? It’s really hard to understand what he said there.
@@TheChickenlittle11 "Anyway gang" is what was said by Rich
Great performer left a impression on me .
This cannot get anymore hilarious!! Rich is soooooo amazing!!! It's perfect!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

There’s nobody like Rich Little.
Can anyone imagine these great artist in today’s environment,damn I’m miss them all

If you don't find this funny, you need some serious help.
I'm old enough to remember when everyone on that dais was still with us
So am I and Rich Little isn't dead yet.
Me too!

Rich Little is the best impersonation artist who ever tried that specialty act. He's the only guy who could do a decent Don Rickles who was hard to imitate.
The talent here is unmatched
I've never heard a Rickles impression before. Brilliant.
Me either, and I used to watch these guys, regularly. Little totally captured Rickles' essence. Amazing.
Fred Travalena was a good impersonator as well
I've enjoyed Rich Little for decades, master of his craft. There are some good impressionist but he was great.
That was one of the best roast I've ever heard..like the entire " dream" joke was just beautifully crafted...
Gold... Pure gold. What a time to be alive.🤣😂🤣😂
Don Rickles is such a class act! modern comedians take note
RJ 1999 bb
There are no modern comics except for bill burr they´re all bad
He was amazing, always!

Those were the days my friends, we thought they would never end! 😃
Rickles is very difficult to do and Rich nailed him.
Mr and Mrs Brezhnev, don't tell me let me guess, which one's which...........hahahaha !!!!
This is my second favorite roast of Don Rickles. Only Foster Brooks was funnier!
Johny Carson's was very funny in the first roast of Rickles in 1970...Milton Burle's as well!!
Mrs. Mrs. Mrs. Mrs. Pickles!
"One of a kind" is an expression in entertainment. Both Don Rickles and Rich Little live up to that flawlessly.
Rich Little's the only one still alive of that group.
Rich Little is freakishly talented as not only he b does voices brilliantly but nails all mannerisms
Seen this at least 5 times and it never gets old. Love how Rickles cackles.
Rich Little had (and has) that priceless quality of raising a smile even before he starts
his act - anticipation that has never been disappointed. His John Wayne and President
Nixon are superb examples of his ability to create human caricatures in voice and

It is criminal how far America has fallen in the comic world.

True talent and humor right here... And, didn't have to talk like they were in a gutter like the one's today that are mostly trailer park trash.

One summer, they did Dean Martin Roasts as a weekly filler until the new shows debuted in September.
I'm pretty sure that your dad really knew.
Those were great days for the entertainment industry! What has happened with today’s performers?? Most are crude, and without talent!
Rich Little made these Roasts even more funnier when he got up. These were the good days of television.

Great seeing Jack Klugman and Lorne Greene up there too!
Agreed
Always so funny and uplifting! That's what we need!
As an Ottawa boy I must say congratulations on a great career. You did us proud.
Few people appreciated Rich like George Burns did, he LOVED and was so touched by his impressions of him.
Don Rickles was an amazing man. I went to
Atlantic City and lived there for awhile and I never laughed so hard. Loved Don
So many real celebrities present. Today's celebrities are more drama queens that could never compare to these real stars.
Rich Little, the one on the stage that is still with us. And still working in Vegas!!
He is so brilliant, love watching all those men on the stage. Miss them so much.
Rich still performs?
I must be getting old I know who everyone is
i'm 56 and know all of them, too!
Early 50’s and I know them all too
Haahaa mee too !
You and me both, you and me both.
We'll never see the likes of them again..
I have to admit..Dean Martin is seriously handsome.. Rich Little is seriously, unbelievably hilarious!
Amazing 🎉Rich is still going strong 🥳… always brings it ❤
RIP Mr. Rickles. Thanks for all the laughs!!
Rich Little has to be one of the greatest impressionists ever. I saw his show in Vegas 3 times and it was amazing!
