Don Rickles

A SHOCKER. I came so close to not watching the show because I could not bear the thought of a scenery-chewing octogenarian.

What a surprise. Yes, there were moments of shtick but more importantly Rickles came across as a smart self-aware sweet man who knows who he is and knows the he loves his wife of um, er, something like 100o years. I believe he weighs in at 82.
