Earlier this year it was announced that Don Rickles teamed up with AARP for a new series called Dinner with Don, and while Rickles passed away just a couple weeks after the announcement, the series had already been completed by then, making it the final project of his career. Thankfully, today AARP dropped all the episodes on YouTube, including Rickles’s chats with comedians and actors like Zach Galifianakis, Jimmy Kimmel, Judd Apatow, Sarah Silverman, Billy Crystal, Paul Rudd, and of course Snoop Dogg. In the above episode, Rickles sits down with Amy Poehler to talk about family, comedy, his early career, celebrity impressions, and how comedy has changed over time. “Do you care about young comedians right now? Do you watch anybody?†Poehler asks. “No, I watch myself,†Rickles responds, “cause you can’t top greatness.â€
