THIS IS THE MOMENT TWO COMEDY TITANS WENT TO WAR AND NOBODY WAS SAFE
Don Rickles built his entire career on being unpredictable. He was the master of the insult. The king of the roast. No one was safe when Rickles had a microphone in his hand. Presidents, celebrities, audiences. Everyone was fair game.
But in 1975, someone decided to flip the script on the master of surprise. That someone was Bob Hope. And the result was one of the most legendary moments in late night television history.
What happens when the most beloved entertainer in America crashes the show of the most feared comedian in the business.
Pure chaos.
Pure comedy gold.
Pure history.
THE UNLIKELY FRIENDSHIP BETWEEN TWO COMEDY GIANTS
Bob Hope and Don Rickles could not have been more different.
Hope was the polished professional.
The charming entertainer who hosted the Oscars and performed for troops overseas.
He was beloved by everyone from presidents to grandmothers.
Rickles was the wild card.
The unpredictable force of nature who made a career out of being mean.
He was the guy who would insult Frank Sinatra to his face and somehow make him laugh.
But despite their differences, the two men shared a genuine mutual respect....
