It's a badge of honor to be insulted by Don Rickles, and Mr. Warmth dished it out to Jimmy Fallon and the Roots on Tuesday's Tonight Show. After telling Questlove that the "barber convention needs him," he congratulated Fallon on "the big crowd — 12 people" in the audience and admitted he never really liked him. Of course, Rickles also accused Fallon of faking his broken finger for laughs ("tomorrow night, come out with your neck wrapped") and ended the bit with the most backhanded of compliments regarding The Tonight Show's success. Watch the insults fly in the video below. Catherine Garcia
