First Time Hearing Rodney Dangerfield - Johnny Carson Show Reaction Video- IS HE THE PUNCHLINE KING? 

"Yesterday when i got up i grabbed my coffee cup and the handle fell off, then I grabbed my briefcase and the handle fell off. I was afraid to go to the bathroom."- Rodney Dangerfield.

One of the great comedic geniuses of all time and master of the one liners. There will never be another Rodney Dangerfield!!

Young people ...really learn history...Rodney was the King

"I know I'm getting old. My last birthday cake looked like a prairie fire." You know, lots of candles. It didn't take much to make us laugh in those days. Well, me, anyways. Thanks for a great video!

Johnny Carson was pretty casual with his guests and it was almost like we were a part of the conversation.

Rodney is an old-school vaudeville-type comic. He does one-liners better than almost anyone. Rodney is one of the most prepared comics ever. Every joke was on a notecard and he had huge files full of notecards. He would gather and organize the cards for each show. He never did anything that wasn't thoroughly rehearsed. His standard schtick is "I get no respect" and he often builds from that.

Rodney, the king of one liners and Johnny Carson, The King Of Late Night TV. Carson was that one must watch Tonight Show host between 1963 and 1993. I watched almost every night between 1972-76 during my highschool years. Great show to hop in bed for and doze off to. I was a regular until he retired in 1993 after 30 years. Carson was a legend ! Peace ❤

Loved Rodney. His type of humor was truly one of a kind.

"There Goes The Neighborhood" is on his grave stone! He owned his own club in New York and gave many young comedians their start and was also in many movies. "No respect" was his catchphrase and entire comedic act, but it was just an act!

Loved Rodney as a kid. The comedians in my days were amazing and special.

Johnny Carson Was the absolute king of late night television. Pretty much the entire country went to bed watching the Tonight show starring Johnny Carson. for something like 30 years from the 60s to the 90s he was incredibly beloved and I think the vibe you caught onto was just an example of how masterful he was at putting people at ease. Pretty much every one of the most famous comedians many of whom I’m sure you recognize had their big break on the Carson show. In fact, it’s known among comedians from that era that if you got asked to be on the Carson show that’s when you know that you’ve made it.

Saw many of these shows live. Yea, I'm an old guy. Glad to see a new generation appreciating the legend.

Johnny Carson, a very successful comedian himself, was always the perfect 'straightman' for Rodney. Some of the funniest parts are when Johnny's set-up didn't work or Rodney's reaction when a joke fell flat. Rodney also owned a comedy club in NY, "Dangerfield's". There are/were many comedians that said they owed Rodney everything for giving them their 'big break'.

When late night TV was something to look forward to.

One of the last of the old time comics. Like his hero, Jack Benny, made his personality a source of much of his humor....

I loved him back in the day!

Rodney was always funny no matter what.. his album “No Respect” in the early 80s is hilarious from beginning to end

There'll never be another Rodney

I feel sorry for those who didn't grow up with Johnny hosting The Tonight Show......it was the epitome of class and celebrity. Johnny and Rodney are both professional comedians....and Johnny knew how to play off a person and make it work, almost no matter who it was....so it was easy with Rodney...they were both incredible stars at this point!

"My last birthday cake looked like a prairie fire". When you get old enough, you'll understand, LOL!!

He was the king of the one liners, rapid fire Rodney, like a machine gun.

His standup was pure genius. He also starred in several movies and was great in those as well. Cadyshack is probably his best known movie. Back To School and Easy Money were also really good. I'd not seen this particular clip before. Great reaction.

Dangerfield's time on the chair is an extension of his stand-up routine. Johnny Carson was in on it. Dangerfield was at the apex of his popularity by this time. Was a regular guest on The Tonight Show. People loved him. Very self-deprecating guy, as you saw in his routine. The reason the crowd roared when he would say "I get no respect" is because this was his signature line. It was used in all of his acts. Please consider doing more comedy reactions. They are a blast to watch. Especially on y'all's channel.

Back to School, was great and Caddyshack. He was hilarious!!!!!! His jokes still get belly laughs when I tell them!!!

King of the one liners.

Back to school was another great movie.

It's told that Rodney was the most well-prepared comedian in the business. Every line was detailed, crafted down to the syllable. Aways writing obsessively.

King of the one liners! That's about all...

Greatest comedian ever.

The thing with Rodney Dangerfield is he comes out on stage and gives you a show, then he goes to sit down with Johnny Carson, and gives you another show.

Rodney said he was so old his last birthday cake looked like a prairie fire. That refers to the fact that there were so many candles that were lit as usually you use the number of candles that matches the age! And the reference to the rabbit was a fair amount of time in the past they had a myth that a woman was pregnant IF the rabbit died! 👱‍♀👱‍♀👗👗👠👠❤❤

Rodney great stand up comedian great punchlines don rickles also is very funny

A movie with him that is very funny is Back to School. Y'all should check that out.

I must be old cause i dont get never having heard of him.. He was amazing.. Glad you got to check him out! Go watch the movie Caddyshack.. A hilarious classic..

Rodney Dangerfield 1921-2004, Great comedian and actor.

The King of one liners to me, always made me cry with laughter!

this was on the fly and it hits or misses but love it.

his Birthday Cake looked like a Prairie Fire, like burning Grass because there was so many candles.

He was the best

1,000 years from now people will still be laughing along to Sir Rodney,

You guys said the conversation seemed different. Neither are fake personalities, now all you see is fake.

Yeah, in the one you missed, he said, "My last birthday cake looked like a prairie fire", meaning it had a LOT of candles on it.

He said about his age: "I'm so old my last birthday cake looked like a prairie fire."

The GOAT

You 2 are good together fun watching

Best part is johnny jumping in to soon

What a crowd what a crowd 😂

Rodney was the king of punch lines. Glad you guys enjoyed him like we have for several years. You should look up Sam Kinison if you haven't

Richard Pryor is someone who will have you in stitches

You're the first person I've watched who notices how Carson interacts with Rodney. The comic timing between them is impeccable. It's what makes these videos so wonderful.

You've also seen Rodney in things like Caddy Shack, Back to School and other slapstick comedies.

Dangerfield is best! I teach 6-8 grades, and when they start with the "burns," I blow them all out with Dangerfield material lol!

For Bars and Barbells. So old the candles, on his birthday cake, looked like a prairie fire. What's to not get?

This brought back very fond memories! Thanks for doing this! You two are ALSO a great act together. The chemistry and the obvious comfort with each other. I'm really enjoying your music AND other vids. Keep it up!!

Prairie Fire: He is so old that his cake has so many candles he can't get close enough to blow them out due to the heat. "What a Crowd".

He is famous for one liners... He was in a famous movie "Caddyshack". Don Rickles is another older comedian...famous for one liners as well

It takes two to tango.. May I suggest looking into reacting to Johnny Carson , he was the best late night host ever iMO.

One thing you don't understand because of how long ago it was is that he came from the clubs and theaters before TV, and that circuit was called vaudiville. He would have come up toward the end of it, but the comedy pace was quick. He also had a club in New York called Dangerfield's, in which he used to warm up the crowd and otherwise tell plenty of jokes. That's what he means when he says he's going back to NY and will be at the club, then he's going up to New England. In other words, he knows a lot of bang bang jokes and mostly tells his latest ones. That was his style. I guarantee he may have had an idea or two, but he really never knew exactly what he was going to say on Carson. Whatch any of his other appearances, he just bangs them out. Once in a while, if you know his stuff, he will repeat one a few years later. I'm just saying his appearances were not so much rehersed bits, but a little of that and flow of thought.

The hilarious King of the One-Liners

Keep doing RODNEY on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. He did tons of appearances. All fantastic. I'm new to your channel but I don't think you do movies so on your own time, watch the movie CADDYSHACK. It's hilarious and RODNEY steals the show!!

You definitely need to see Caddyshack, Easy Money and Back To School. All extremely funny movies starring Rodney Dangerfield.

In Vegas, a couple walked up to Rodney and told him, "hey Rodney, we just got married? What do you think?" He told them, "you both could have done better!" You may also want to check out Sam Kinison Marriage and World Hunger. Kinison was one of Rodney's greatest finds.

He said his birthday cake "looked like a prairie fire."

RIP Rodney Dangerfield, King of the one liners

Rodney was the best at one liners!!!, Luv you two!!!

His wife described him as the nicest man she knew.

He said... 'I'm old, I know I'm getting old, my last cake looked like a prairie fire.''

It's rare to find people in show business that can balance the show against the business. Carson was a master entertainer and shared his limelight with many other masters. I miss those shows and that style of showmanship.

Rodney danger field and johnny carson were friends for a long time.

The best

Not many people ever got Johnny to laugh like that. Rodney was on his show a few time when Johnny could barely get a word in. Robin Williams was another that could get away with it. You should check out his first time on The Tonight Show. Hilarious!

Rodney was absolutely One of a Kind! Robin Williams was also One of a Kind! RIP (live on Broadway) Ralphie May RIP - (Politically Incorrect) Rodney Carrington - live from the Majestic

13:18 My last birthday cake looked like a prairie fire. You know what a prairie is? The flat lands across the middle of the US with hundreds of miles of wheat and corn. Imagine it catching on fire. His birthday cake had so many candles because he is so old.

My idea of a pleasure trip is taking my mother-in-law to the airport. We got 3 kids, one of each.

He was saying, " on his last birthday, his cake looked like a Prairie fire" because they're were so many candles on the cake, the number of candles represent the number of years the person is!!🤔

I was 16 in 1979. I love Rodney. I recall once tuning in to the Tonight Show hoping that Rodney would be appearing that night, and to my surprise, he was on that night! (Might have been this one!)

Rodney was the big funny guy in the CADDY SHACK golf movie. Check it out sometime, It's a classic

Dangerfield showed up several times on this same show (Johnny Carson Show) with new material. He is always very funny. I know you and your wife will enjoy.

The joke about the prairie fire, he meant there were so many candles on his birthday cake that it looked like a prairie fire

Padum pa! The king of one-liners, from the best late-night show...Tonight Show w/Johnny Carson; thank goodness for youtube!

He mentioned was like a prairie fire because there was so many candles because he was so old

"I get no respect" was Rodney's signature byline. But he was one of the most respected comedians of all time! Self-effacing humor is one of the most effective and endearing forms of humor.

A classic . . .

King of the one liners

If this was also your first exposure to Jonny Carson, that is another amazing rabbit hole to go down!!!

I miss Carson and the old Tonight Show

They both been in entertainment since 1950's

I'm from Mass. The Chateau is gone but the Music Circus is still there. I've seen plenty of shows in both.

You both are smart enough to get his humor and jokes, others i have watched --his joke go over their heads. Thanks

The birthday cake "looked like a prairie fire" because of so many burning candles

Rodney made a very successful career of self depreciating humor and getting no respect. His role in Caddyshack is hilarious. 😂

My best Rodney joke "you know my dr, Dr Vinnybombatz, what a dr, hes real mixed up, he grabbed my knee and told me to cough and hit me in the balls with a hammer" LOL lol that one never gets old, it cracks me up, even when i know its coming it still hysterical.

How can you not know what a prairie fire is ?

"I'm not saying my wife is easy, but last week I bought a used car... I found her dress in the back seat. - Rodney He has a clip, "100 best joke"... that's a good one. Other than that, anytime he's on the tonight show with Johnny Carson is great.

He said, "My birthday cake looked like a prairie fire." LOTS of candles.

13:01 He said : "My last birthday cake looked like a prairie fire".... cos of all the candles.

He started in 1969 the debut album on Arista was recorded then issued in 1980. It was recorded at the Bell Studio.

As Greg Kifer stated, comics from that day came out of vaudeville. That was comedy that lead before the strippers came on the stage. If you didn't get laughs quickly, they boo'd you off the stage becasue they wanted to see the dancers.

The joke was, "Are you kidding? I know I'm getting old. My last birthday cake looked like a prairie fire." The inside joke between these two was that Johnny knew that Rodney, even after sitting down next to Johnny in seemingly "casual" conversation, still needed to stick to a certain sequence of jokes to keep things in order, while Johnny would occasionally tease Rodney by asking him a question in the wrong order, but knowing at the same time that no one could throw Rodney off his pattern or game plan.

Nice reaction.
