I didn’t watch this whole thing before posting, but it started out as a nice commentary on the passing of Don Rickles.
It was put out by CBS.

RIP to a true comic genius. His appearances on the Dean Martin roasts were legendary, especially the Ronald Reagan show :)
Rickles was great in “Casino” in a dramatic role. And in “Kelly’s Heroes”.
RIP
His gigs on the Dean Martin Roasts had me in tears, although when he was the Man of Honor, the returned barbs were just as gut busting.
Surprised how unbelievably sad this is to me... Always loved this guy.
Another one of my old man’s generation is gone.
But he had a good run, and a blessed life. I suppose, at the end, that’s all anyone can ask for.
I was teary when I saw it.
Think I’ll see if I can find “Kelly’s Heroes” somewhere online and watch it this weekend. One of my favorite WW2 films.
One of mine, too.
Hard to believe Clint isn’t that far behind, age-wise. He’s the Eternal Gunsligner to me... always think of him as Josey Wales.
Or Lieutenant Schaffer in “Where Eagles Dare” with two MP40 SMGs hosing down the Germans in the radio tower...
Yep. Sucks.
He’s the last one from “The Spaghetti Westerns”.
There’s still a few of the guys from “Kelly’s” around.
Roger Moore is going to be 90 this year. Wow!!!
R.I.P.
Woah, I didn’t realize Moore was that old. Connery’s not that far behind.
He is. Many people think Connery is the older of the two. Nope. He’s three years younger than Moore.
Gene Hackman’s still around, but has been retired for a while now. He’s awesome too.
Stallone’s 70. Chuck Norris is 75-ish.
As these guys go, there are no replacements for them.
