The famous comedian, passed away on Thursday at his home in Los Angeles. He was 90 years old. Rickles is survived by his wife, Barbara, who he was married to for 52 years.

He had a special talent for turning the tables on hecklers, which helped him stand out in the world of comedy. His career took off after he made a name for himself as an insult comic, always ready with a clever put-down.

One of the most famous stories about Rickles involves him insulting Frank Sinatra. When Sinatra showed up late to one of Rickles’s shows in the 1950s, Rickles didn’t hesitate to poke fun at him.
