There are very few recurring television moments that instantly grab my undivided attention: seeing an undead Billy Mays still pitching Oxy-Clean, Twilight Zone episodes that pwn Nazis, late night Skinemax.
Now you can add Don Rickles to that list. He’s become a staple of late night during the early Tonight Show because he’s engaging, colorful and damn funny. Every time he stops in at Letterman’s Late Show, I have to stop what I’m doing and watch and that includes running a pregnant friend to the hospital, although it does ruin some of the comedy for me. All that screaming.
He’s also great at roasts, not because he’s a great insult comic but because he can be just as down to Earth and genuine with the people he’s skewering. His best roast is one that never made it to television: a roast of Get Smart’s Don Adams at the Playboy Mansion.

Hot Internet Ideas: I have had it with these “people finder” companies that claim that I can find anyone for free and then they charge me. So, I searched for totally free people find and this worked. I found a site that lets me find people’s phone numbers for free, really free!
