Don Rickles, the aggressively caustic comedian who became known as “The Merchant of Venom” and “The King of Zing” and "Mr Warmth" as he took insult comedy to a new level, has died.
Rickles died as a result of kidney failure at his Los Angeles home on Thursday, said his publicist Paul Shefrin. He was 90.
Well into his 80s, Rickles continued to headline in top showrooms and concert halls around the country with his patented brand of insult humor aimed at everyone in his audience, from unknown “hockey pucks” to big-name celebrities.
