It brung a tear to my eye when Don Rickles complimented Zach. To be complimented by Don is a true blessing. He was such a great human being and made me laugh while growing up. . I would of loved Don to be on between 2 ferns. Rest in peace and keep those Angels laughing friend
This was wonderful to watch. My dad loved Rickles [as he would call him] and rarely missed a show of his whenever he came to town [Chicago]. He also supported Don with his jazz band opening for him. He was a drummer. Don played too and asked dad for lessons to help sharpen himself up. He also saw Don many times too in Vegas. Him and mom would dress-up, hit the venue and grab a table at the front on the right. Don always absolutely ripped dad to bits every time. Dad used to say, "You can't get much better than being roasted by the maestro." Dad passed in 2014 aged 90. I've gone on too long!

My favorite part is where Zach says he used to watch comedies just so he could hear his dad laugh.. very touching.. cool thing is now Zach makes the world laugh. An ironically fitting quote for this day in age .. "Do what'chu want, it's America"~ Don Rickles
For those that feel sad when reminded about the loss of this treasure of a man consider the fact that we actually had him here for 90 years. I imagine other worlds in other universes where a Rickles never even existed. The guy having graced us for so long is cause for celebration.
2:44 it is extremely gratifying to watch Zach actually smile. Like, not a character. Not a fake “ha I’m dead inside” smile. A genuine, pleased with himself, somewhat star-struck smile. Makes me happy.
Don Rickles, the nicest 'mean guy's' ever. He could take it as well as dish it out, and the guy kept it going till the end. Respect and lessons for us all... Lesson for all of us in that.
One of the best to ever do it. I don’t think I’ve ever watched a clip of Don Rickles and didn’t leave with a smile on my face. Man was one of a kind and truly a great.
This is my favourite version of Zach, if I'm honest. Open, engaged, and respectful. I love his work otherwise, but to see this is a gift, and that's because of Don's legend and underlying kindness. It makes this the only approach Zach can take in this interview, and I'm really grateful for it.

You really have to hand it to Zach, such a delicate assignment, he had to mix reverence for the comedy legend, with an ability to still go toe to toe, and managed to get several good ones "off." A lot of fun watching these two enjoy each other.
Don kept eyeing Zach between every verbal exchange they were having and smirking / smiling ; he was seeing an aspect of himself in Zach. You could really tell that Don liked Zach a lot. Two peas in a pod the two of them. Rest in eternal Love Don, THANK YOU for all the laughter --- you were literally a comedic *GOD* 💝👏
Absolutely agree with you! I love this interview so much. Just makes me a little sad knowing Don left us just 4 months later. He was sharp as a tack till the end. Miss him.
I grew up watching Don Rickles and have always loved him and his humor. Zach's "Between Two Ferns" is very reminiscent of Don't cutting humor and his delivery is impeccable. I needed this laugh this morning and am glad I ran across the video.
What Zach said about his dad laughing n Rickles is my dad and the show newhart and also night court. He'd cry sometimes at those. They were that good too. I was the youngest so Rickles bright more nostalgia and talk of old hollywood with my mom. Great memories...getting up to turn the knob to change the channel on the wooden console tv. Lol.
They fish! They're real good at that and shop keeping and other successful businesses enterprises. Gee Don. I'd would've loved to hear your remarks about The View and its dais of members.
This was a very good interview. It was incredible that, even in the last years of his life, while being elderly, as soon as Don got a microphone in his hand he was 40 years old again, and "on." Zach did a great job with this interview. His comedic attempts were appreciated because he did not try to go too far with them. When one is in the presence of greatness it is best to bask in it and enjoy the moment than to attempt to prove you are on the same level and fail miserably. That's not a jab at Zach, it is respect for Don Rickles.
It was the most "normal" I've ever seen Zack look... Make you realize the "weird" shtick he usually portrays is just an act. I have a newfound respect for Zack now... Great interview. I've thoroughly enjoyed all the "Dinner with Don" vids. Rest in peace Don.
Don Rickles is someone I like to call "aggressive-passive". They make fun of you in an aggressive way and pretend to be your enemy, but you immediately know they love you.
I'm kinda like that. I'm bored with small talk so I'll bring up the real thing and if someone is too quiet I'll tell them to keep it down or ironically say their energy is too much.
There is something so special and self satisfying when you can make your dad laugh. I remember trying to banter at the adult level and my dad seeing me hold my own in front of his friends. It’s a great feeling!! I see it in my own children when their quick whit is on full display. Quick mouth and a sharp tongue is a good view into a sharp quick mind. Or just a good grasp on the English language
When I was a kid I watched Blazing Saddles on HBO with my Father, probably late 70's, he laughed so hard at the "farting scene around the campfire," I thought he was going to die laughing (truly). Never saw him react like that before or since, died in 1998, but I still remember it clearly. A good experience. This interview brought up that memory.
Such a lovely, genuine conversation.. with Don being his classic self. I first discovered Don via 'Get Smart' ... and further random 'films' and 'TV bits'... and various segments with Don chatting with Bob Newhart, another wonderful classic comedian. For me, Don established his own 'way' from his very earliest days... and if folks don't know his work, they're leaving out a whole 'dialect' of comedic expression. Many thanks for posting this video.
I was in Manhattan not too long ago to visit some family and I stopped by the Barnes and nobles in upper west side, saw a rickles book, picked it up, went to the register, while buying the book the cashier started just started hitting her favorite rickles bits and we just went over how great the man was for a good 20 minutes. Rickles won’t be forgotten
the sad part being that only a "select" group of people get to openly make fun of that particular group that seems to own a LOT of the worlds resources and entertainment avenues.
Listening to what my dad laughed at is a big way of how I judge humor today.... I remember Don Rickels making my dad laugh so hard that he had tears in his eyes dozens an dozens of times
So many people comment on how nice it is for Zach to be polite to Don. But isn't that just respect that we seem to have lost as Generations go on. That should be par for the course. But today's generation doesn't seem willing to give it or earn it themselves. They just expect it
I'm 27 years old. I discovered Don when I saw the movie "Dennis the Menace Strikes Again". He was a legend. Back in 2013 and 2014, Don was the only thing I watched on TH-cam. I remember getting home after school and binge-watching his appeareances on Johnny Carson and Letterman, etc. I also remember that during 2017 it was clear his health was declining fast. I was very sad. That's why I did not see these videos of him talking with Zach, and Robert De Niro and Scorsese, etc. because I was sad a legend like Don was going to pass away very soon. But after all these years, I was able to watch them because I have found peace in my heart. God bless you Don, fly very high, but not too high.
I love watching all these contemporaries with Rickles and the respect they show him AND the love he shows in return, just wish had discovered this when he still alive.....One of the GREATEST WITS ever....LONG LIVE RICKLES
So I've seen this one a few times and I JUST noticed how much Zach was shaking with the fork. I would have been nervous as hell too sitting with that level of comedic royalty.
Don's improv was unmatched and witty! Don Rickles, Richard Prior, Benny Hill, Johnathan Winters and Red Fox would all have me laughing. RIP to all of them!
I cried when watching this. yes i said it. grown ass man at 54 and tears of laughter and sadness. DR is gone, but Zack keeps it going. this was the best! To think he was 90 when he did this right before he passed is incredible
Great interview, and great to hear that someone else also grew up watching Johnny Carson and loved to hear his Dad laugh at Don and Johnny, those are memories of a life time. Don Rickles will always make me laugh.
This is probably the most serious I've ever heard rickles in an interview,I saw him live at the hard rock casino in Vancouver and he did a fairly long testimonial to the Canadian Military which was very heartfelt and kind, it wasn't long before he passed away
Seeing a respectful and engaged Zach made me happy.
James Barros if Zach didn't bring his A game he's knows he would have gotten steam rolled.

Zach's laugh after "we don't have a talkie machine at home" ...priceless!
I loved this! Thank you!
Rickles is the king of insult comedy and a legendary genius. He will always be remembered for his brash comedy and being the Godfather of roasting.
He's not dead yet.
No, Jeff Ross is the king of insult comedy now, but Don Rickles was the former.
The best thing that AARP did was air this segment.
What a treasure! ❤
I've never seen Don out of character until now..
What a legend.
Great interview, and great to hear that someone else also grew up watching Johnny Carson and loved to hear his Dad laugh at Don and Johnny, those are memories of a life time. Don Rickles will always make me laugh.
It's lunch for you , but it's dinner for him.

That was gold! I love Don and the back and forth. Zach, good job.
"Have you seen Corky Romano?" cracked me up!
Gold
This is probably the most serious I've ever heard rickles in an interview,I saw him live at the hard rock casino in Vancouver and he did a fairly long testimonial to the Canadian Military which was very heartfelt and kind, it wasn't long before he passed away
"We don't have a talkie machine at home."
What a blessing to keep your wits into old age.
