I saw Rodney in the 80s. He came out and rattled off jokes non stop for over an hour , I was laughing so hard I couldn’t breath . Thank you for all the laughs Mr Dangerfield, a legend
I saw him in 1989. Same thing. He did 90 minutes of one liners (that works about to about 360). By the end of the show, people were exhausted. That night, he was as funny as any comedian I have heard, before or since. He _killed_ that night.
rodney was the best, he could really make you laugh, and forget all your troubles!. shame all of them are gone now ed mac man, johnny carson , robert goulet, and rodney dangerfield. now rodney tells his jokes to a higher level, god bless you, and thanks for all the laughs. Louie Vaccaro, Las Vegas.
It's just mind bogling how a guy can go on endlessly with all these one liners on such different subjects! There's only one answer. Comedic genius! PERIOD! How we miss Rodney!
@@PhoenixAscending Nah! He was way before cocaine became popular! Besides you can easily recognize a coke head, because their noze are so affected that they constantly keep on sniffling
I was just wondering who that person was. I recognized the three others. I was born in the 1970’s so Robert was a little before my time. Thanks for the info
Noticed, how Johnny used to let Rodney go loose without interrupting, but only to back up or reaffirm what he already said for comedic effects, Carson was the best and so was Dangerfield, true legends. Imagine today’s night talk hosts back then? none of them would have made it.
I saw Robert Goulet in a Safeway grocery store in San Francisco in maybe 1983 and he was walking up & down the grocery isles with his shopping cart loudly singing opera. I'll never forget that!!!!!!!! 👍😆
Loved the appearance where Carson showed pictures highlighting Uecker's baseball career and Bob shared the jokes and stories behind them. It was hilarious. Johnny always made his guests look good.
Great times staying up as a kid at my grandparents house watching Johnny Carson. Everyone else was asleep. Just me watching The Tonight Show on a huge Magnavox color TV with a remote that weighed 5 pounds. Watching the boring local 11 0 clock news till finally at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="690">11:30</a> and then...here's Johnny!
Caddy shack my all time fav comedy with Rodney and Chevy Chase and Bill Murray.... You'll never again find a comedy with the funniest comedians in one movie
Having seen a few of Rodneys clips from his many Carson appearances it really makes me wonder just how many...jokes this guy had in his head. A few I have heard before but many are new and they just KEEP ON COMIN. He was killin Bob Goulet in this clip and of course Carson figured out early just get Rodney pushed away from the dock and he'll go for 20 minutes solid. All time fav. Classic delivery keeps even the older stuff fresh. Amazing
Rodney Dangerfield spent a LOT of time rehearsing his new material over and over in not only his club, but other little clubs. He wanted to get it perfect. I think this is one reason so many other comedians look up to him.
For eleven minutes, I laughed myself out of breath! Thank you for this classic entertainment! Love Rodney and Johnny together and this clip was one of their absolute BEST!
Was 11 when this aired. Wasn't allowed to stay up that late. Would do my best to sneak close enough to hear, though, and always got caught. I just wanted to share in the laughter, but was always denied. Thanks to this platform, I can finally watch.
These were the years of total Class on late night television. Johnny wrote the book on it. The respect he had for his guests was a wonderful thing to see.
Could you imagine being Robert Goulet with the ringside seat to this flow of consciousness? Not only couldn't he hold it together but he was probably in shock for days...
Whoaaa!! Rodney kills it again! Caddy shack. Back to School. The man had the riff and rapid fire brain. Easy Money. So swift and right on target!! Goulet cracked up repeatedly. Classic funny
Joan Rivers called Carson "the greatest straight man ever. He knew exactly when to stay quiet and when to set up the punchline." He proved it every time Jack Roy was his guest.
This is what comedy is no foul language at the minimum. Clean real Era when talk shows where talk shows entertaining and promoting there movies and schedules.
In a skit full of legendary one liners, the part that cracked me up the most was when Johnny said "you wanna tell us about it?" and Rodney answered "Oh, of course!" It's almost like Johnny was poking a little bit of fun at Rodney, and Rodney was like "I'll do better than that!"
this was one of his best, in my opinion, performances on Carson...Fonzo's Knuckle Room...Fonzo was tough He'd say to me: "Be funny. People come here to forget their troubles." How do you forget you're up for manslaughter.
