Foster Brooks roasts Don Rickles. The show was broadcast in 1974 on the Dean Martin Roast TV show, a moment in the world of comedy, a moment that still brings a hearty chuckle to those who were fortunate enough to witness it.

It was a time when laughter was abundant, and comedic legends graced our television screens, and on one particular occasion, Foster Brooks found himself at the center of a humorous storm, roasting none other than the Sultan of Insult, Don Rickles, on the hallowed stage of the Dean Martin Roast.

Picture it: The year was 1974, and the Dean Martin Roast was the place to be, a grand gathering of comedic titans. Foster Brooks, the master of inebriated humor, took to the podium to lovingly rib Don Rickles. Now, Brooks was renowned for his impeccable portrayal of the inebriated, and he made no exception that night.

In his trademark slurred speech and disheveled demeanor, Foster Brooks boldly declared to Rickles that, he's been "fooling around with your wife." The audience erupted in laughter, for they knew that Brooks was merely weaving a tapestry of comedy. With a straight face, he continued, "But I hope you don't tell anybody."

The beauty of this moment lay in the sheer absurdity of the claim. Don Rickles, the king of comedic insult, was momentarily rendered speechless in laughter. A rare sight, indeed! It was a juxtaposition of two comedic giants; one, the master of the roast, and the other, the master of feigned intoxication. The audience couldn't get enough.

In the midst of raucous laughter, Foster Brooks had masterfully delivered a punchline that would be etched into the annals of comedy history. It was a moment of pure hilarity, a testament to the wit and charm of two comedians who knew how to turn the art of the roast into an unforgettable spectacle. With the gift of laughter that still echoes through the corridors of time, a legendary night when Foster Brooks playfully confessed his faux infidelity to Don Rickles, all in the name of good humor.
