Let's be clear: Rodney Dangerfield was one of the funniest comedians of all time, and Johnny Carson played the perfect straight man. Together, they were awesome.
Rodney was always "on". He kept the lines coming all night. It had to be a lot of pressure that he put on himself. He once said that it took him 3 months to prepare for one Tonight Show appearance. That's dedication. I miss all of this guys. R.I.P. Johnny, Rodney and Ed.
I love Late Night with Letterman, but I am so happy Carson was the host to interview Rodney most of the times. No other host would and could Rodney be this great
me too. not only have i watched every rodney clip on YT in the last 3 days, but i even watch the ones i have seen over and over again. I can't get enough of him. Even hearing the joke for the 3rd time makes me laugh just as hard. It never gets old. No one beats him...RIP rodney
Saw him twice in concert, he comes out does 15 minutes of jokes, and the entire place was laughing so hard,he sat down for 10 minutes while everyone was laughing! The King of the one liners!
@Doug Richardson I saw him in 1999 at the MGM Grand in Vegas with a bunch of friends. We ate dinner in one of the MGM's resturaunts before the show and mentioned to the waitress we were seeing his show later and she told us we were sitting in Rodney's booth! She said he usually sat there by himself for breakfast every time he played the MGM Grand. Made our day! I wish we had gone back to that resturaunt the next morning just to see if he showed up.
@@willzimjohn There is a Friar’s Club roast of Don Rickles, and Johnny Carson introduced Henry Youngman by saying: “Our next speaker is known as ‘The King of the One Liners’, mainly because Youngman can’t remember two lines in a row”.
Being from the UK we never had the Tonight Show but I adore watching these clips. Carson is an absolute master of his game. As for Rodney Dangerfield what a guy,supremely talented. TV today cannot touch these classics.
So was Richard Pryor. Groucho Marx. Don Rickles. Dean Martin. Sammy Davis Jr. Steve Martin. You name it. Don't know any funny comedians in the UK. I'm an American. Can't think of any. 😅
Saw him live in SF with my cousin in 1980. We laughed all the way home and into the following week. I remember he told a heckler, "what, do you go to the movies and yell at the screen?" Classic
Two legends at their best. Can’t forget Ed too! Rodney is my favorite comedian hands down. And he is underrated. He will always have my respect and he is missed dearly. All three of these gentlemen♥️
Rodney was by far the best stand up comedian. I think his hard childhood upbringing gave him a lot of early material to use later in life. Miss him and Johnny Carson. Funny funny men.
Carleton, I also REALLY miss Rodney, Johnny, Ed and the rest of the "Tonight Show" gang. Thank God they live on through these video clips. Stephen Colbert and the other late night "comedians" of today are AWFUL in so many ways and NOT talented and funny like the way Rodney and Johnny were.
One sad note about Rodney. Late in his life a reporter asked him how he was doing and Rodney said “life has been one big downer.“ There was no punchline.
Saw him live at the Comedy Store in L.A. back in '82. Wasn't scheduled. Just dropped in to test some new material for his upcoming Tonight Show appearance. Hilarious guy. Sharp as a tack.
This had to have been one of his best performances ever on the Tonight Show. Every joke was a killer. He was the best! How he remembered all of that routine I’ll never know. 😂
Christine Plymouth very true, the vaudeville acts were real showman/woman they could do it all; sing, dance, juggle you name it they had to be able to do it all and without missing a beat.
Hey I saw him at the Riviera Hotel! I started working there when I was 17 yrs old. And on our nightly lunch breaks we would always go backstage to watch whoever was playing! Rodney was getting very popular at this time and I made it a point to see him every night for 2 weeks! Saw alot of the older acts!
Yeah I didin't realize it at the time! I met Kenny Rogers one time. I'll never forget he was driving a Stutz Bearcat Car...tha's what he told me. I was too busy staring at thte car and he got out and I hadn't even looked at him and I said...what kind of car is that!!. ThenI realized it was him and he was just the nicest , down to earth guy ever!
Kenny Rogers was appearing in Phila. in 1980, when he walked out on stage the first words he uttered were:I DO NOT SIGN ANY AUTOGRAPHS! The fans were paying his goddamn salary, the nerve of that half ass!
Today’s comedians don’t even come close. They’re so blue! We will never see another Rodney or Richard Pryor. Partially to blame is this sensitive culture that we now live in. This censorship and cancel culture.
Rodney was without a doubt, the KING OF, ONE-LINERS!! Nobody has been able to match him or beat him since he died. And when he was alive I cannot think of one person they could catch him. And not only catch him but surpass him. Not. A. Soul. He was the best. In the movies he starred in, let’s face it he carried the entire movie. Without him each movie would’ve flat out sucked. He even surpassed Chevy Chase in each movie. We miss you Rodney for comedy just as much as we miss Elvis for his kind of music. Our world became a smaller world and a sadder world without you in it for comedy and Elvis for music. America became a sadder, Quieter Country. A Quieter Country.
No one else could do that with Johnny. Only Rodney. That's how much Johnny loved his humor. But the other side of that was that we never really got to know the real Rodney. Never a serious interview. He did a couple on Stern though later on. And his childhood and younger years were so miserable for him that he probably preferred not to talk about them anyway on Johnny.
I saw Rodney @ the MGM Grand in Las Vegas Aug. 25th 2001, just after he had a mini stroke on Jay Leno's show. He was spot on and didn't skip a beat. 80+ years old at the time. God rest his soul. He loved to make people laugh and lived for it.
I love how the Caddyshack clip has some dialogue that got trimmed for the Final Cut of the movie. Great to see. Killer set from Rodney, thanks a ton for posting.
Rodney Dangerfield you are the greatest. the Elvis Presley of comedy.Thank you for all the laughs. So animated with those eyes and that voice.Many have called me a good imitator of Rodney but aren't we all. We would have needed another 40 or 50 years of of him and his new material to say the least. If it was only possible.Thanks for all the laughs Rodney.
He passed away in 2004...82 years old... Dangerfield's headstone at Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery On November 22, 2001 (his 80th birthday), Dangerfield suffered a mild heart attack while backstage at the Tonight Show. During Dangerfield's hospital stay, the staff were reportedly upset that he smoked marijuana in his room. But he was back at the Tonight Show a year later, performing on his 81st birthday. On April 8, 2003, Dangerfield underwent brain surgery to improve blood flow in preparation for heart valve-replacement surgery on a later date. The surgery took place on August 24, 2004.Upon entering the hospital, he uttered another characteristic one-liner when asked how long he would be hospitalized: "If all goes well, about a week. If not, about an hour and a half." In September 2004, it was revealed that Dangerfield had been in a coma for several weeks. Afterward, he began breathing on his own and showing signs of awareness when visited by friends. However, he died on October 5, 2004 at the UCLA Medical Center, a month and a half shy of his 83rd birthday, from complications of the surgery he had undergone in August. Dangerfield was interred in the Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery in Los Angeles. His headstone reads, "Rodney Dangerfield... There goes the neighborhood."
Rodney had to overcome a terrible childhood and upbringing, he beautifully channeled his experiences in life to become successful. If anyone ever deserved fame and fortune it was him.
THAT'S MY GUY!! THE LEGENDARY RODNEY DANGERFIELD & JOHNNY!! I SANG THE RAPPIN RODNEY VIEDO!! NO RESPECT NO RESPECT,!! SO INSANELY FUNNY!! NEVER ANOTHER, JOHNNY!! DEFINITELY, NEVER ANOTHER RODNEY!! SOOO MISS HIM!!💔💔💋❤❤💘💜💜💘💋💋💔💔💛💛💔💋💋💙💙❤❤💘💘💜💘❤💋💔💛💔💔💋 SUZAN C. WILSON
He was on the roll, and on time, sharp...the best....I can't Believe that I've seen these videos a hundred times and still life, like if was yesterday...I miss those golden years of comedy,...
Unlike the interviewers today who want to be in charge, Johnny Carson would let the guest full reign. The guest was a GUEST to have all the respect (pun intended) they deserve.
Rodney was good, very good.........but Johnny set him up for it........Many comedians gave Johnny mega-credit for their success, for being a great straight man. Don Rickles, for one, gave Johnny his undying thanks for that. Here, Rodney and Johnny are spot on great!
I saw a thing about the making of Caddyshack. Rodney did his lines and thought he had bombed. Nobody laughed. They had to explain to him that it was a live microphone and they couldn't laugh! But he still had a tough time the rest of the movie. Hence his comment at the end where he talks about liking the live performance and the feedback.
I have seen Caddyshack a million times, I have NEVER seen the line where he says " Don't make the pants too tight , you'll hurt his fortune cookie." Rodney was just fantastic. Just loved him!
My top ten comedians ever to appear on "The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson" are: 1) Rodney Dangerfield 2) Don Rickles 3) Richard Pryor 4) Joan Rivers 5) George Carlin 6) Robin Williams 7) Jonathan Winters 8) Bob Hope 9) Buddy Hackett 10) Dean Martin My top 10 favourites!
The reason that I like George Carlin's comedy much more than Richard Pryor's is because Carlin would very selectively use profanities to underscore the points he was making in his comedy concerts whereas Pryor used profanities way too much and only for the shock value.
The 1980s were the last great decade of all time we had Ronald Reagan as President and this country was strong and people were much better than now Period!!!!!
This is great, when no one knew yet what "Caddyshack" was! Strange to think how each classic comedy was once new and unknown, not yet part of the cultural language, loved and memorized by millions.
Let's be clear: Rodney Dangerfield was one of the funniest comedians of all time, and Johnny Carson played the perfect straight man. Together, they were awesome.
Underrated comment.
I agree with you so funny
Absolutely true
Started a lot of careers
Agree. Rodney always funny. Johnny knew how to make his guests shine. He was the best.
Rodney was always "on". He kept the lines coming all night. It had to be a lot of pressure that he put on himself. He once said that it took him 3 months to prepare for one Tonight Show appearance. That's dedication. I miss all of this guys. R.I.P. Johnny, Rodney and Ed.
So great to have seen so many of Johnny Carson's Tonight Shows since it really was THE Tonight Show
the world is a poorer place without him (and Johnny). RIP
I agree 100%
"Whaddya mean, heaven's full?"😮😮😅😅😂😂
One of THE greatest comedians to EVER walk the earth...Rodney Dangerfield.
Best stand up comic ever, never get tired watching these clips
America misses this great man. He brought happiness to millions. sorely missed.
It's real difficult to remember all those jokes one after the other. He fires them out like no one else. What a great comic. My favorite
Carson knew he was in the presence of greatness. When legendary talent is around you, it's very overwhelming. He let Rodney have the show.
Lightning quick wit !
Say him live ;
Damm what a fummy man ..
🤗👍♥️
I love Late Night with Letterman, but I am so happy Carson was the host to interview Rodney most of the times. No other host would and could Rodney be this great

I’m from the U.K. also. Didn’t get American comedy at first but Rodney Dangerfield beat them all and drew me in. Natural master. The best
So was Richard Pryor. Groucho Marx. Don Rickles. Dean Martin. Sammy Davis Jr. Steve Martin.
You name it.
Don't know any funny comedians in the UK.

You could tell Johnny really loved Rodney. They were actually very good friends. I think Rodney had the most appearances of any celebrity on Carson.
Two legends at their best. Can’t forget Ed too! Rodney is my favorite comedian hands down. And he is underrated. He will always have my respect and he is missed dearly. All three of these gentlemen♥️
It’s almost 2020 I still keep watching this never get tired 😓 of it. Rodney was the best. Hope he gets more respect where he is now!
2024!
Rodney was by far the best stand up comedian. I think his hard childhood upbringing gave him a lot of early material to use later in life. Miss him and Johnny Carson. Funny funny men.
Carleton Lundell fyi....He didn't write a lot of his own material. Joan Rivers as well.
@@abc456f BS. Absolute BS. Dangerfield spent the last 60 years of his life writing jokes.
mr. jinks Rodney wrote all of his own material. Sorry you are wrong!!

Rodney will forever be the Master Comedian at work! NO ONE like him today. He sure will live on in video clips like this.
I believe Rodney was what Andrew Dice Clay wanted to be.
+Henry Prater. you do realize rodney was around alot sooner than andrew dice clay
+Henry Prater. I misread sorry
A true vaudevillian style comedian, really refreshing to see.
Christine Plymouth very true, the vaudeville acts were real showman/woman they could do it all; sing, dance, juggle you name it they had to be able to do it all and without missing a beat.
I saw him live in concert in Louisville. He was great. If you've never seen him live then you missed a great show! I Loved Rodney!
I missed Rodney so much'he absolutley perfect.Live in peace Rodney.
Rodney gets all the respect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I still have that album. lol. From a time when comedians didn't need 4 letter words to make you laugh. Rodney was the King.
Hey I saw him at the Riviera Hotel! I started working there when I was 17 yrs old. And on our nightly lunch breaks we would always go backstage to watch whoever was playing!

kboyzrock Kevin Hart: awwwww, nooo awwww ehhh. Thank you, you guys were great

Rodney was old timer the best yes
Rodney grew up in New York slums
Love Rodney Dangerfield. And Johnny Carson. And Ed
There will never be another Rodney Dangerfield nor Johnny Carson. Stuff on TV today is something less. Much less.
I agree, it will never be the same without those two
Virtue signaling SJW preaching hosts of today have ruined late night shows. It's unwatchable. Crying hypocrite Kimmel?! What a douche.
one guy came close - craig ferguson. his show was hilarious and definitely cult worthy. loved the late night douche! 😉

I agree 100%
Rodney is a piece of the worlds comedic history. He was a genius and a great showman.
I always imagined that Rodney did 90 minutes for God shortly after he passed, and had the Lord in tears.
Dave B. Keeps him in stitches daily
I told my wife we should do a home improvement loan she gave me $10,000 to move out...RIP Rodney.
You will always be my favorite Rodney! One of a kind! RIP.

Absolutely. Saw him in concert once. My girl and I never laughed so hard in our lives!!!!
@@jaybaxter958 He literally just said he likes live entertainment.
He wiped the floor with the comedians of yesterday also...
Who would hit thumbs down on Rodney Dangerfield? Smh
It's funny, (no pun), how he did his act and then came and sat down and continued doing his act. No off switch! I miss Rodney and Johnny both.
And Carson just let him go wherever he wanted to.
And George Carlin!!!!!! the best along with Rodney. At least we still have Steven Wright!
No one else could do that with Johnny. Only Rodney. That's how much Johnny loved his humor. But the other side of that was that we never really got to know the real Rodney. Never a serious interview.

The number of jokes and good jokes this guy tell in this short clip is amazing.
back in the day where comedians were sharp, fast, funny and unapologetic....and they could light up a smoke to relax a bit
I love Rodney's accent. His voice is amazing. Funny as any of the best too. What a guy he was.
I saw Rodney @ the MGM Grand in Las Vegas Aug. 25th 2001, just after he had a mini stroke on Jay Leno's show. He was spot on and didn't skip a beat. 80+ years old at the time. God rest his soul. He loved to make people laugh and lived for it.
