The link below will take you to Ray Bradbury's March 1, 1978 appearance on THE TONIGHT SHOW with Johnny Carson. A fellow guest of the show was Don Rickles. Per a previous posting by this Board's jkt, after the show, Ray expressed his disappointment to Rickles that he had not been on the receiving end of one of Rickles's famous (and good-natured) insults, to which Rickles replied, "I admire you too much, you hockey puck!"

Richard ~ What a wonderful discussion among these well-known characters! This is something we no longer experience via our media outlets.

1978: Thought provoking, courteous, humorous, no profanity, and highly informative. We need this today in our programs that are viewed and heard.
Yes! The always intensely satirical Don Rickles was definitely intrigued by RB's perspectives!
