Johnny I always loved you I don't care what you say you're the best talk show guy in the world you give me a break alright I'll tear this trying one thing remember no matter how big you get these are the affiliates these are the people that made you a multimillionaire love thy neighbor as I love thyself you are not of my faith but I bless you sham acclaim Hanoi Hanoi Hanoi and now made your helicopter made the commercial woman for a moment I thought I was gonna have to have the operations at my age that is right into it bob newhart does take a glass of scotch ago well we'll take a short break here but we're coming right you better believe it touch life good shot er your back David nice nice left shoulder the suits hanging just a little bit you have there taken it you know the public really doesn't know because we've been kidding around we as performers and you John or being with this network so many years and for many many more to come because nobody can do what you do but the whole punchline Dave Tebbit is a guy that every actor has admired and loved and other networks that you you I must say CBS has it has Bob wood ABC Marty starker but I got knows dave is the kind of guy that takes you into his arms and says hey wind loser drawer I'm your friend and when you fail he sends you a gift and that's unusual and I tell you David tepid to all the affair it's just my own feeling and my wife and I you're a beautiful man very I understand you finally finally this thing with the network that's why I made that speech yeah it's our turn now yeah yeah Noah NBC has given me another chance and I just hope I get lucky as you said and you and I have talked about things that I just hope that they can capture what Don Rickles is and I really don't know what that is but maybe someday I'll get lucky Oh little but it'll happen thanks John my next guest no we have to move it on with you know fine whatever you say John we have by the way I just got a call she left the wife you'll be in court again with the same lawyer going and it McMahon's going I'll testify to Michael and as you know as a fine actor he's got a new show of new NBC series called Little House on the Prairie which will start in September were you up Michael inside hell last time you were here you were talking about the special was that time was just a special Little House on the Prairie and it did so well I understand you're going on now sir that's right where's AG on the air with a with another series are you gonna direct him to do you'd record that last one did you er yes I directed the the two-hour pilot I'll do probably four out of the first 13 and then hopefully I'll do a few more because we're picked up can you be objective as a director when you when you're in the scene yourself can you step out and go back and say hey now I'm looking at Mike line and I'm the director yes oh okay I can do that takes care of that question it stopped right in there Mike lot of actors can't they say opposed most actors they say make not good directors because they they can't see the forest for the trees or the trees for the four is one of those two I think for an actor once you left the mirror you're okay let the honey sick from the drape but don't let the bird die honey from your tree sound like David Carradine well and I don't know you two people are talking ed and standing there going arts true that's definitely I sure love you and Johnny Belinda minimum ding ding don't turn on me I love you what two Jews a dyke my people can you imagine if they played it legitimate have the men move it out love is you think a Gentile owns a big wrench like the Ponderosa you costed lays back when he thinks it's trouble he's my friend he and I we can I don't so many times she did you ever work in anything together Don and I know you and that set over there no we've been together on several occasion right we have but I've never had anything to do he's as a volatile human being as an actor yes but he went on as an act he's a fine director he really I loved him but he he went to drama school did you know that who did the television set over you're talking about Don what kind of what happens is this is him Rickles want to whoa oh well I went to the American Academy of Dramatic Arts which that and two cookies wins me a trip to Disneyland I the hell of an actor I think is a fine actor I don't know for the people out there who have seen Don in and dramatic performance as a fine actor well thank you Michael now tell me reaction that people feel the same way see when I do stay I got something to say little coffee to relax John you're awfully quiet tonight I'll say that no that's why I know well you're talking though this is your spot on here where they're trying to finish talking to John oh did you what did you attend on an acting troupe yes I was I went to a dramatic school at Warner Brothers Studios it was a free school they didn't pay the actors and for a long time they they worked that way and that school was dissolved at a certain point when this is many years ago in like 20 years when when Jack Warner found out they had it yeah he came up one day and said what is that I didn't know it's a dramatic school he said it's closed that was in I was washing the executives cars that's how I got on the lot I drove the cars in and I went to dramatic school there for about four months it was a good school but they you didn't get you had to pay for that everyone know they didn't pay me I didn't pay them it was just a freebie thing and what was your first part

Don Rickles my clan and you know I didn't know that about that was a teenage werewolf I really really didn't you ever look back on that and say I suppose when you're young and you're in the acting business you take what is available if you want to get into it right oh don't make excuses for films I make oh I'm not being introduced is born I thought it was a very good horror picture I have the like horror films yeah and I thought I was marvelous I want an award from the SPCA I think was a worthwhile film do you remember what you got paper uh yes I had I got $600 and 42 pounds of raw hamburger what happened after I was a teenage werewolf after I was a teenage werewolf I had one of the pluses from it too I had complete respect from my younger children ha no I went on from there to to bigger and better things I stopped biting friends and I did I played the albino and gonzo Laker uh and it's really killing yeah uh what's the first club you ever played what was the name of the furry first pay date they'll buy no Club no what was the name of the fight I tell you the truth up to the best of my recollection the the club that we both know that like can bring you some recognition was Murray Franklin's in Miami Beach yeah and then the elegant in Brooklyn could you ever seen wait little joints before that no I used to see you all the time at slates well yeah but that

Lorne green right baby K the Canadian Mountie the Canadian mountain right never liked those well then the only problem with the horses is that that four of us mounting together as a difficult proposition that is not easy I found that out at a party I was that one yeah this big stallion it was fantastic that was before I the missus would always say I don't understand that's why she's in a room with a rubber duck and happy you just wait long enough there's a biggie along the way somehow do we hope to have the band playin number what's a look at his the affiliates went the band's here

finally got some money so yeah I'm gonna along salami now I'm gonna take you may think that's a very funny joke I do if you come from a if there are two things when you're a kid if you've had a very thin slice of salami that you'll remember and that is how dynamite salami is and it's very expensive when you come from a family doesn't have a lot of bucks a salami is expensive and the first thing I wanted to have was a long salami and olives with pimento kosher because they're expensive too and I love just I have a very big salami in my closet beside very little clothes so we we all have our yeah and also you can solve problems Mike I deal with that you want you sure you want to go into this in the detail pardon me I mean we all have our little problems I mean you want it yes I'll go into him uh it's delicious and also it helps you get your boots on just slide it in there but if I can press it slick on the leather salami and olives I thought you wouldn't wanna but you were serious oh I'm very serious was because like saving right isn't it the truth like you think about the days like you don't have a buck and you you we all save something in our life saying hey if things don't go
