The Sit Down Comedian

“His peers? Dead, dead, dead, dead, dead (Buddy Hackett, Alan King, George Carlin, Joan Rivers — even Garry Shandling, who was almost 25 years his junior) or retired (Shecky Greene). Rickles is one of the last of the old-time stand-ups standing.” From WaPo: Don Rickles was politically incorrect before it was incorrect. And at 90, he’s still going. (Rickles used to be considered an insult comedian. Today, he’s not even insulting enough to run for president.)
