Can you believe he's 85 years old?
Can you believe he's SURVIVED to 85 years old?
With as many people as he's insulted in his career, you gotta wonder how he hasn't gotten beaten up yet. But let's face it - he's made a career out of it and is still going strong with it. In fact, he's even had a pretty darned successful career voicing Mister Potato Head.
Though I'm shocked he never did the voice for an animated hockey puck, but I guess because the Canadian Film Board's never approached him.
I always thought he was funny, even back in the days when he was the star of his own sitcom (remember "CPO Sharkey", anyone?), but through the years he has persevered and made himself a legend in Las Vegas and beyond. And how's YOUR career going?
As if we needed any more proof of the man that is Rickles, just look at this clip where he successfully insults just about every single person in this room, including Barry Goldwater, Howard Cosell, Orson Welles and Dino himself. Of course. Why wouldn't he?
Happy birthday, Mr. Warmth.
Dope out.
