Dean Martin

Ive watched about half a dozen or so Dean Martin celebrity roasts on youtube this past week. Some of the funniest stuff Ive ever seen pre PC world. They would never get away with that stuff in todays society.

Those were the days, Don Rickles would be in jail today for things he said. This is what Jerry Seinfeld was talking about when he said he wouldn't go to college campuses anymore, too politically correct.

Next to Dean's drunken babbling, Rickles is one of my favorites.

I have a book called the "encyclopedia of humor", old book. About 400 pages of 30's, 40's, 50's,60's legends. Henny Youngman, Rickles, Martin, Benny, Caesar, Blanc, Hackett, Durante, Groucho Marx, etc. I did a little stand up for a while in Dallas back in the 80's.......never stole their stuff, but certainly was heavily influenced by it.

That would be awesome if they were able to unleash Rickles on a Comedy Central Roast with no censorship restrictions like in the 70s. He don't even give a flunk about Political Correctness.

Him and that Ross guy are two of the best all time insult comics who think on their feet.

Jeff Ross is a funny dude too

I used to enjoy Red Buttons' Never Got a Dinner routine on those shows too. I used to look forward to those shows every time they were on.
