Dinner with Don Rickles.

saw him live in the late 60's early 70's...somewhere around there,he was still balding....

(from wiki) During the 1960s, Rickles made guest appearances on The Dick Van Dyke Show, The Munsters, The Addams Family, The Mothers-in-Law, Gilligan's Island, Get Smart, The Twilight Zone, The Andy Griffith Show, Gomer Pyle and I Dream of Jeannie.

He was already balding in his 30's probably. First time I saw him was on the AGS.
1965 he was around 38 or 39 I'm guessing ....

Two of my favorite Rickles moments were on Letterman but I can't find either clip. One was from the 80's when he first comes out after Dave announces him the crowd is clapping frantically like they're in all on drugs or in some collective trance--and his reaction was to raise his right arm and starts yelling some Hitler chants.

The other was telling a story about this lady he was dating.
"She had a gap between her front teeth like you. " (points at Letterman)
"When we made love she made a whistling sound.......I never knew if I shtupped her or made tea. "
