Johnny Carson roasts Don Rickles: Uncensored Friars Club Audio

NSFW
An audio clip of Johnny Carson roasting Don Rickles at the Friars Club. (On YouTube)
Builds slowly, picks up at around 2:20
Dirtier than anything that you saw on the Dean Martin Roasts.
The gay jokes are more non-PC than what you'd see on the Comedy Central roasts.
Introduced by Jackie Leonard (an old insult comic).
References mentioned:
Kay Armen was a famous Armenian singer who was not known for her looks, she was in her 50's when this took place.
Joe Pyne was a confrontational talk show host in the category of Bill O'Reilly or Morton Downey Jr.
The Run for Your Life episodes with Rickles were in 66 and 67, so this took place around those years.

inb4 "You can't make jokes like these anymore" even though we still get them in current Comedy Central roasts all the time.

Funny stuff. Would get killed if you said stuff like that today because the comedian hurt so many whiney people in this country!

Guess you didn't read the OP, did you?

He couldn't ad lib a fart after a Boston bake bean dinner.

Listen here phlegm-wad, I did and (A) I don't really agree, (2) OP did not say you can't get away w/these kinds of jokes anymore, and (D) Jimmy saying the jokes would get you killed now equate to saying you can't make them anymore.
So in the words of the great Richard Pryor, have a coke and a smile and shut the frick up.

Not sure if you'd get away with calling someone a "fig" on a Comedy Central roast. Maybe Carson's "queer" tag, but not the F word.

Meh. Was hoping for better as I love both of them. Carson's entire first joke - lasting like 90 seconds - was Rickles was gay. Doesn't really hold up.

Another doozy from that roast. One of the hardest I've ever laughed: Foster Brooks
