[WATCH] Jimmy Kimmel offers emotional tribute to Don Rickles

“t’s not going to be our usual show tonight,” Jimmy Kimmel said during his opening monologue Thursday night.
Don Rickles, according to Kimmel, was “someone that we and I love very much.” Kimmel said.

“I know it sounds crazy to say ‘he was too young’ but he was,” he added.

Kimmel talked about their friendship and read some notes that Rickles had sent him over the years.

“There’ll never be another Don Rickles, he’s probably the greatest talk show guest of all time,” Kimmel stated.
