Don Rickles is on a roll.

The famed insult comedian now has an Emmy to his name. He earned his statuette in the category of outstanding individual performance in a variety or music program for the documentary “Mr. Warmth: The Don Rickles Project,” which is, of course, about him.

“It’s a mistake,” the octogenarian funnyman explained on Emmy night. “I’ve been in the business 55 years, and the biggest award I got was an ashtray from the Friar’s in New York.”

He shouldn’t have been too surprised, though. The crowd at the Emmys clearly adored him, giving him a standing ovation when he appeared onstage earlier as a presenter. “Why did they stand?” he asked. “Was it a Jewish holiday?”

His Emmy follows on the heels of his hit book, titled “Rickles’ Book,” which came out last year and was, of course, about him. (The Shmooze is starting to see a pattern here.)

“Five weeks on the New York Times best seller list was quite a treat for me,” Rickles told Atlantic City Weekly. “I call myself the Jewish Mark Twain. I never wrote anything in my life.”

What’s next for Mr. Warmth? The Shmooze has a suggestion: How about “Don Rickles: The Musical”? You listening, Rickles? The Shmooze bets you’d win a Tony.

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward.

Now more than ever, American Jews need independent news they can trust, with reporting driven by truth, not ideology. We serve you, not any ideological agenda.

At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and polarized discourse.

Readers like you make it all possible. We’re near the end of our Passover Fundraising Drive, and we have a very ambitious goal of $127,000 by April 21.

This is a great time to support independent Jewish journalism you rely on. Make a Passover gift today!
