The legendary comedian recently appeared on The Tonight Show alongside fellow funny man Jay Leno. Rickles is a seasoned veteran in late night appearances, having appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson over 40 times.
As well as making TV appearances, Rickles continues to act. His most recent stint was lending his voice to the character of Mr. Potato Head in Toy Story 3.
He is one of the most respected talents in Hollywood, with an ongoing career since the 1950s as an actor and stand-up comedian. With regards to his career as an "insult" comic, he once said, "If I were to insult people and mean it, that wouldn't be funny."
He is longtime friends with Bob Newhart, and was good friends with Frank Sinatra and Don Adams.
His continued success proves that getting old does not mean slowing your life down. His name is only one in a long line of other age busters.
Actress Betty White, for instance, has her fair share of late night appearances as well, having recently hosted the long-running sketch comedy show Saturday Night Live at age 88, as well as having made appearances on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.
These names only prove that aging well can prove to be age defying.
