This character was rarely likeable in the traditional sense of the word. He was however usually pretty funny, sort of..... His name was Don Rickles. He was sometimes known as The Master of the insult.

Donald Jay Rickles was an American stand-up comedian and actor. He became known primarily for his insult comedy. For those who remember, he was often a fixture on the Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts. Do you remember this standup comedian/actor Don Rickles? I remember him but didn't really like most of his performances.

I remember him and thought he was usually funny though occasionally he could be cruel in a warped kind of way.

I always thought some of his best work was on the Johnny Carson Tonight Show. Do you remember the Johnny Carson Tonight Show. Absolutely, one of the classics for sure.

There have been many Tonight Show Hosts (more than I have listed). These are the ones with the longest tenure. Which Tonight Show host was your favorite? (sorry, only 1 choice) I've never watched the show.

In 1995, Mr. Potato head was featured in a leading role in the Disney/Pixar animated feature Toy Story, with the voice provided by comedian Don Rickles. Potato Head returned in Toy Story's three sequels - Toy Story 2 (1999), Toy Story 3 (2010) and Toy Story 4 (2019) - with Rickles reprising the role. Do you remember Don Rickles as Mr. Potato Head? Yes, all of them
