Rodney's last appearance with his #1 fan, Johnny. His last joke he told with Johnny, Boy did he really set Johnny up. What a talent. There'll be nobody that could ever replace Rodney.
I agree. Rodney probably isn't the greatest comedian ever, but he was unique, irreplaceable and if there was a Hall of Fame for comedians he'd be one of my top ten and first to be honored. My HOF starting Top Five Legendary Comics: 1. Richard Pryor 2. Milton Berle 3. Bob Hope 4. Red Buttons 5. Don Rickles My second group of five would be: 6. Rodney Dangerfield 7. Lucille Ball 8. Foster Brooks 9. Charlie Callas 10. Will Rodgers
@@fougee1 That's an opinion. You also contradict yourself because if you were right you'd have no need to respond to me. Lastly, I didn't give a list, but mentioned one person. Go away troll.
What do you mean, 'from a video' ? You were 'laugh(ing) out loud'; a response provoked by Dangerfield's _act_ which in this case just so happened to be captured on videotape but it was the man(routine, jokes, interplay with others etc.) that 'made [you] laugh' _not_ *the means* by which the material was transmitted to you.
@@manofiske3318 I think that what he means is that people tend to laugh out loud much more seeing an act live, as opposed to seeing it on video. And what made Rodney so special is that even watching a video, he would laugh out loud.
I watched Carson's show all the time. My parents and I stayed up late to do so. After the show ended, then it was bed time. And in the age of TV Guide we never missed the show double true if Rodney was on. Rodney preempted everything.
I've seen all of his previous appearances on here but when I saw it was near the end of Johnny's run and Rodney was older I wasn't expecting him to be as good as he used to be. Surprise!!! This was his best appearance ever in my opinion.
I think I've seen everything Rodney has done , except in person . This was hilarious and one of his best segments and I wish Johnny would have let him continue until he was done , as we know Rodney will let you know. He certainly was skirting the edge on the sexual innuendos and I have seen guests doing same with the result being their segment over.
There will never be another one like em folks! Truly funny guy! And Johnny was the best at setting him up......and letting him GO! Always a great escape to watch these clips!
These two were great to watch not only because Rodney was hilarious but because Johnny was a great straight man. Having grown up with duos like Laurel and Hardy and Abbott and Costello, he knew how crucial that role was and knew how to punctuate and by how much. Just one or two words (“You Bert ha!”) was often enough.
Rodney always captivated you with his hilarious “Sad Sack” stories. And how he handled the jokes that got silence - with his reaction & expressions, only delayed the laughter. How I miss his energy !
I really don’t care about swearing except I believe most comedians are way funnier when they don’t swear. That routine was easily in the top all time ten
Hope I live long enough to see this kind of stuff come back around one more time in the cycle. The timing of the Expressions on one bone less are incredible
"I was an ugly kid; my father took me to the zoo. They thanked him for bringing me back! Oh, I was a fat kid too. One time, my old man took me to the beach. A bunch of scientists kept trying to push me back into the ocean.
Loved this comedian sooo much. I wonder how he used to sweat when performing… probably from some heart problems. But hey! I’m no doctor. May he rest in eternal peace 🌹❤️
Not true, actually but he helped a lot of dudes get going in the biz by buying jokes they'd write for him. Of course, he came up with plenty of his own...don't go nuts, just a fact.
Pure Class ! Rodney may have not invented comedy but he earned the crown. I laugh so hard listning to him I hurt in my sides. I have to think what more he would have brought to us if he would have lived on longer. RIP Rodney
When he first heard about Viagra, he asked around if people had heard about it, which they had, then he tried a joke at a club, and booked himself on the Tonight Show the next day before it could be stolen. "My doctor put me on a Viagra and prune juice diet. Now I come and go at the same time."
I have been trying to picture him at the Pearly Gates, St Peter and the whole entourage are laughing hysterically and God says , I guess Rodney made it. I sure hope so, RIP
I was fortunate to see him LIVE in person when Rosanne Barr was his opening act. One of THE best. Aside from Craig Ferguson, Late Night television no longer exists. I used to think Letterman was great, until he went liberal crazy. I miss Leno as well. RIP Mr. Dangerfield, Mr. Carson, and Mr. McMahon.
I wondered about that. Since a lot of Rodney's jokes were about being alone/finding a woman, and none of the usual " my wife " jokes, I wondered if he was divorced or his wife died. Will have to check Wiki.
@@howardkerr8174 Nah, just part of the act , he had a younger woman by his side right up 'til the end. She played her role(took care of his more base "needs" etc.) to the hilt and was rewarded handsomely for her "devotion" to the cause.
