Comedian Don Rickles was honored Sunday night with the Johnny Carson Award on Comedy Central’s


Comedian Don Rickles was honored Sunday night with the Johnny Carson Award on Comedy Central’s “Comedy Awards.” Here are five examples of his TV work:

v “The Don Rickles Show” (1972): Before Madison Avenue gave us Don Draper, we had advertising exec Don Robinson, played by Rickles in this forgotten comedy.

v “C.P.O. Sharkey” (1976-78): Rickles was the title character, a Navy lifer in charge of shaping up (and insulting) new recruits.

v “Foul-ups, Bleeps & Blunders” (1984-85): ABC’s poor-man’s version of “TV’s Bloopers & Practical Jokes” featured Rickles and — yes! — Steve Lawrence as co-hosts.

v “Daddy Dearest” (1993): Great casting, but poor execution: Rickles was a recently separated, brash used-car salesman who moved in with his adult son, a divorced neurotic shrink played by Richard Lewis.

v Guest appearances: We still remember Rickles as a compulsive kidnapper who somehow washed up on “Gilligan’s Island” (1966) and as the outrageous Indian, Bald Eagle, on “F Troop” (1965).

“The Devil’s Ride” (10 p.m., Discovery Channel): Get your motor runnin’ and head out on the highway for “The Devil’s Ride,” a new reality series about an actual California-based motorcycle club.

‘Once’ will tour

NEW YORK

The film that became an album and then a Broadway musical is now becoming a tour. Producers of the show “Once” announced Monday that a national tour of the show will launch in the summer of 2013. Dates and locations will be revealed later. The news comes less than a week after “Once” became the top-nominated show of this year’s Tony Awards, with 11 nods.

The musical is based on the low-budget 2006 film about an unlikely romance between a Czech flower seller and an Irish street musician in Dublin.
