After big untimely events happen, late night hosts usually aim for composure during the taping of their show.

However, Don Rickles and Jimmy Kimmel became close friends over the last decade and, after the news of Don’s passing yesterday, Jimmy dedicated a long segment to his dearly departed friend and didn’t hold back his emotions.

From this, you can see the effect Don had on people and the joy that he brought to people’s lives including the unflappable prankster, late night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel.
