"Somebody called me up and said 'Don Rickles needs a best friend. And nobody wants to do it."
--Bob Newhart
Most are aware that comedians Don Rickles and Bob Newhart were best friends.
A New Yorker short debuted last night, and underlines the bud-ship with clips and unseen footage that tugs at the heart. Judd Apatow produced the 20-minute documentary.
It's an elegant eulogy to an era.
Newhart is 94. Rickles died in 2017.
