Rodney knew what made Johnny laugh. One time when his bit was over he turned to the other guest and said “So what’s new with you?” And Johnny jumped out of his chair laughing 😂
I love Johnny's little gestures every time Rodney moves to a new topic. "Oh, we're talking about that now? Okay", subtle gestures, but there, and didn't interfere with Rodney's flow. Johnny was the best.
It was always pure joy to watch Johnny.Rodney Dangerfield Robin Williams Jonathan Winters Don Rickles.Late night has never been the same and I'm afraid it never will .All of them are gone I really truly miss those guys and all the late night magic moments.RIP Guys.
The voice, the face, the ticks, the self-deprecation, wit, charm, style and blue collar down to earth manner will never be duplicated. First ballot inductee to the hall of comedy fame. NO DOYBT!!
Seeing him trying to remember his place and cracking a smile starting at 2:20 is so funny, very rare he does that. The take he does at 2:35 towards Johnny and Ed is also hilarious :)
Yea, it's surprising how I've seen so much of Rodney's stand-ups or appearances and then I find one I hadn't seen. It's like Rodney has 'new' material for me to enjoy.
I liked the joke "every year mom would take my school pictures and put them in the cabinet under the sink and behind the refrigerator to keep the roaches out of the house".
Just incredible, we realize more and more each day how great those legends were, good days. Rodney, Johnny, Rat Pack, Pryor, Carlin..... Thank God for youtube.
That cleaning his teeth joke is actually hilarious, but you gotta think about it. He takes out his dentures to clean them, so hence, he can talk while they're soaking. 😂🤣
From a time so many of us just took for granted would last forever.. well, nothing does, thankfully, we have these video clips. NO talk show host today, could even shine Johnny Carson's shoes.. they're all hate filled politicized jerks. Johnny and his guests- were always classy- even Rodney with his double entendres - funny and sorely missed.
Rodney was a great comedian, but Rodney and Johnny are the perfect couple. Contrast an episode like this (which I haven't seen before, merci beaucoup for posting this) with Rodney going on David Letterman. Rodney was trying the same routine, but Dave would be so sarcastic that he really pulled the rug out from under him. I think Rodney was too nice to mention it but I'm sure he wasn't excited about going on with Dave.
You could see how much Johnny seemed to look forward to having Rodney on his show. Even if some of the jokes had been done before, it was always a good and uproarious time. 👍
A man in the crowd asks: Hey Rodney, how'd you get started? Rodney: I was 12 years old, alone in my room, and I got started! My wife's so dumb, she got a nail in the spare!! I tell ya, I don't get no respect ... Last week, my wife told me that she was going to cut me down to twice a month. But I thought about it, and I figured that it wasn't too bad. I know a couple of guys that she cut out completely. I remember the time I was kidnapped and they sent a piece of my finger to my father. He said he wanted more proof. I saved a girl from being attacked last night. I controlled myself. I told my dentist my teeth are going yellow. he told me to wear a brown tie. I'll tell ya, I don't get no respect... The other day, I got back from a business trip. I got in a cab and said to the driver, "Hey! Take me to where the action is!" So ya know where he took me? He took me to my house! Do ya remember the first time you had sex? I do, and boy, was I scared! I was alone! I told my psychiatrist that everyone hates me. He said I was being ridiculous - everyone hasn't met me yet. I was so ugly my mother used to feed me with a sling shot. I went to a fight the other night, and a hockey game broke out. I worked in a pet store and people would ask how big I would get. I'm at the age where food has taken the place of sex in my life. In fact, I've just had a mirror put over my kitchen table. My cousins gay, he went to London only to find out that Big Ben was a clock. My father carries around the picture of the kid who came with his wallet. My mother had morning sickness after I was born. My marriage is on the rocks again, yeah, my wife just broke up with her boyfriend. My mother never breast fed me, she told me she only liked me as a friend. My psychiatrist told me I was crazy and I said I want a second opinion. He said okay, you're ugly too. My uncle's dying wish - he wanted me on his lap. He was in the electric chair. My wife and I were happy for 20 years. Then we met. My wife is always trying to get rid of me. The other day she told me to put the garbage out. I said to her I already did. She told me to go and keep an eye on it. My wife met me at the door the other night in a sexy negligee. Unfortunately, she was just coming home. My wife wants sex in the back of the car and she wants me to drive. R.D.
Johnny Carson was obviously one of Rodney's biggest fans. He had him on the show repeatedly and the audience just loved him. Judging from Johnny's extreme style of clothes and long hair this show had to air in the 70's. Carson was a heavy cigarette smoker, and he can be seen smoking in this clip.
@@jillkjv3816 I graduated from high school in 1963. When I watch these vintage clips its almost as if everyone is still with us and yet sadly we know they’re all gone.
Rodney once asked Johnny if he could have one of his cigarettes and Carson replied "You know Rodney their not good for your health" to which Rodney replied "Well I got this crazy doctor who told me I gotta keep smoking if I want to stop chewing gum, so what do I care". And Carson almost fell out of his chair laughing hystairacly. 👍
Thank god for the time machine we call youtube because as a 24 year old italian kid i'm wishin I was around for these times but this is a close second.
The camera guy really got a workout following Rodney as he was bobbing and weaving back and forth I tell ya, he don't get no respect either. The way Rodney was going on Johnny could've gotten up, walked backstage, gotten a drink, had a smoke, come back and Rodney never would have even known he was gone. This really brings back some great memories. This year was a very special one for me as a 14 year old kid. Watching Carson most nights I was so young and honestly thought he'd be there doing his show forever. Getting old sucks, but not quite as bad as the alternative 😉
