[quote]Comedian Don Rickles died Thursday morning as a result of kidney failure, his publicist confirmed to ABC News.
The rep added that the Emmy Award winner was at home in Los Angeles at the time of his death.
He would have turned 91 on May 8.
Rickles, a best-selling author who was known for his regular visits to late-night shows, is survived by his wife of 52 years, Barbara, his daughter, Mindy Mann, Mann's husband Ed, and two grandchildren, Ethan and Harrison Mann.
Funeral services will be private, and the family has asked that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the Larry Rickles Endowment Fund at Children's Hospital Los Angeles.[/quote]

Rickles was known for his years working with Johnny Carson, and voicing Mr. Potato Head in the Toy Story films.
I was just thinking of getting an autograph through the mail the other week once I find someplace to print photographs out for free.
RIP

One of the best insult comics ever imo

Plus, any video of him messing with Sinatra (a feat in and of itself) is gold

Dang, this one hurts. I'm glad he was able to live the life he did though.
"You uncultured swine" still one of my favorites.
