Begins Project in Perfect Health:
The announcement came on February 8, 2017, that Don Rickles (90) had postponed Reno show with Regis Philbin which was scheduled for February 10, 2017, at "Grand Sierra Resort" due to a Flu-like infection causing the doctor to advise him to stop traveling. He was due to take part in a stage show at Grand Theatre where he spent many decades as an actor and a comedian.
Now in the pink of health Don Rickles is all set to launch a project “Dinner With Don” with AARP which will be an unscripted series headlined by Don himself. The formal announcement of the launch was made on March 20, 2017, by AARP.
The first season of the show is bound to be shot around Los Angeles' famed restaurants including Craig's, The Palm, Dan Tana's, Vincente and Madeo. And the guests include Billy Crystal, Robert De Niro, Jimmy Kimmel, Amy Poehler, Vince Vaughn, Paul Rudd, Marisa Tomei and Martin Scorsese.
Faced Death of Son With Wife Barbara:
Don Rickles married his wife Barbara Skylar in 1965. The couple met through Don's agent and he fell for her when she failed to get his sense of humor. During the span of over five decades, they share the same love back in the days when they first met. The couple shares two children together, a daughter Mindy Rickles and a son Larry Rickles.
