I was hoping he'd live forever. Such a comedic icon.

Gosh- I'm in my mid 50's and prayers can't really remember Don Rickles not being SOMEWHERE on tv. Mike Douglas, Dick Cavett, and when if could stay up late, Johnny Carson. Not to mention CPO Sharkey (sit-com). When I was small, I thought he was very mean. As I grew, I realized there was almost always a wink, wink, nudge,nudge so you would know he was teasing and not just a bully. Wow, what a quick mind he had. He will be missed. Condolences to his family and friends.

Had the fortune to see him live a couple of times. Funny, funny man. Will miss you Mr. Warmth.

Sad day

Now I wonder what will happen with Toy Story 4.

Now I wonder what will happen with Toy Story 4.

Apparently his part had been only partly recorded. They replaced Jim Varney with Blake Clark for Slinky Dog so probably they'll hire a voice actor to do Mr Potato Head. But hard to replace the style of Mr Rickles.

So sad! Mr. Potato Head was my fave character in Toy Story. Best wishes to his friends and family.
