in 1944, he enlisted in the United States Navy and served during World War II on the motor torpedo boat tender USS Cyrene as a seaman first class. He was honorably discharged in 1946.

Frustrated by a lack of acting work, Rickles began performing comedy in clubs in New York, Miami, and Los Angeles. He became known as an insult comedian when he responded to his hecklers. The audience enjoyed these insults more than his prepared material, so he incorporated them into his act.

Dave Chappelle, Bill Burr and others wont do colleges anymore due the the moronic masses that don't get humor.
I remember Don Rickles, Bob Newhart, and Carol Burnett and company...no way they survive today. Hell, I betcha Hee Haw would get an X rating.
BTW....all college kids need this therapy session....
