Behind The Don is a documentary series that offers intimate portraits of people whose lives were touched by Don Rickles, the legendary insult comic. Through personal testimonies, the series explores the man behind the acerbic stage persona—his relationships, his influence on comedy, and the warmth that earned him the nickname "Mr. Warmth."

It's a tribute to a comedy icon told through the eyes of those who knew him best.
