I believe "Mr. Warmth" was a nickname bestowed on Don Rickles by Johnny Carson, as I recall him introducing him that way more than once.
One of the funniest scenes ever was after Johnny had gotten back from a vacation, and Don had been the guest host. Don broke Johnny's cigarette box, and in return, Johnny crashed Don's TV show (CPO Sharkey) while they were shooting it.
I don't know if it was staged, but it was hilarious!
