For kids of the '90s, he's probably better known as Mr. Potato Head in Toy Story. For me personally, I'll always remember him for his appearances in several Frankie Avalon/Annette Funicello films.

Don would have an opinion about everybody and he even tailored his remarks to appear on television, on a regular basis too. Never forget that for Don Rickles' generation of comedians, the holy grail was a television show of your own. Fortunately, Don Rickles had many friends in the world of entertainment. From Frank Sinatra to Johnny Carson. With Don's kind of friends he always found a stage to voice his latest insults. His guest appearances on late night TV were legendary. And, of course, Don was a regular substitute host for Johnny Carson on the Tonight Show. All the effort finally paid off when Don Rickles got his own TV series in 1976: "CPO Sharkey", on NBC. To be a close friend of Johnny Carson was a very special relationship. With both "The Tonight Show" and "CPO Sharkey" both produced from NBC's New York headquarters, Johnny surprised Don one night during the taping of his show because Johnny wanted to who broke his favorite cigarette box: The clip showing how Don Rickles broke the box is also on YouTube: Quote Disable Sigs
