In his last few seasons there maybe was no guest I looked forward to more with Dave than Rickles, who just seemed to make Dave so happy to have around. I always had affection for him too, though in his hey day I thought his act (I saw him live once, and of course on TV lots) was offensive not because of the ethnic, gender, religious and sexual identity based-insults, but because the insults were based so often on such superficial and event at the time outdated stereotypes. What was offended was my intelligence, not my political correctness. As he got older that mattered less, as the insults were clearly not intended to mirror or even satirize contemporary stereotypes at all. He was a great link to a bygone era, and will be missed.
