havent seen the episode yet (little thing called the Viking game got priority) but he is hilarious anytime he is on TV
They showed on the 30 minute special (before the 1st show) when Rickles ruined Johnny's cigarette box and Carson "hunted him down" when he (Don) was doing a show in the same building

The series is often remembered for an incident that occurred on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson during December 1976. Rickles appeared on The Tonight Show, speaking with guest host Bob Newhart. During the segment, Rickles slammed down the cigarette box Carson kept on his desk while joking with Newhart, and broke the box when he was doing a routine where he was pretending to stamp passports while pretending to be an immigration agent, using the box as the stamp. When Carson returned the following night to the show and discovered the broken box, he took a camera crew to the adjacent studio where Sharkey was being taped. Carson disrupted the taping in order to tease Rickles about it, to the delight of the studio audiences of both shows. Carson imitated Rickles' insult comedy style by calling him a "big dummy" and teasing Harrison Page by speaking to him in an exaggerated jive accent. As Carson prepared to exit the stage, Rickles looked at the audience and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, Johnny Carson!" With mock exasperation, Carson glared at Rickles and stated, "They know who I am!"
