      Jacob Cohen was his real name, and truly did have a horrible childhood. Only child to an undiagnosed clinically depressed mother which made his father flee at an early age. Great Kudos to Rodney's spiritual legacy for having turned that Immense Psychic Pain into such universal sophisticated humor. Though, you never escape the pain. When he jokes that he wakes up to a dark cloud saying hello, he was not joking, inwardly, and yet he made millions laugh. Good Karma to you, Jacob

    I'm 61. Back in the 70s I told my parents there were two guests on Johnny they HAD to let me stay up late to watch. Rickles and Rodney. No DVRs, VHS or TiVo in those days. You saw it or you didn't.
    Thank goodness for CZcams, Rodney's joy in life was making other people laugh. He wasn't a happy man by nature, and this was his engine. You're gone almost 20 years now, but through technology we can watch you over and over. No respect is a timeless phenomenon and your jokes will never be dated.
    You truly deserve to rest in peace old friend..

    Me and my family and friends saw Rodney in the late 1980's at his club Dangerfield's in NYC. He was absolutely hilarious.
    Every joke he told (many raunchier than what TV allowed) were so mind blowing, we laughed so hard, our ribs hurt for days.
    The only loss we remember from that night was that his delivery was so rat-tat-tat fast, we missed out on every other joke. He was that good! None of us ever have forgotten that wonderful night and the outrageously funny joy we experienced.
    We're all just sorry he passed on. A true comic genius. We sure need that in the national dialogue today. Rodney would make shrift of the politics boring the hell out of all of us today.
    You might remember an expression. "Laughter is the best medicine". Boy do we need that now.

    When it comes to comedy, Rodney was pure brute force. He'd write a string of about 30-40 original jokes from scratch, memorize the precise wording, timing and delivery....and then go on a show and just let fly. No Robin Williams improv here. Completely old school. He was going to hit you over the head non-stop and beat you into submission. It's the most difficult approach to comedy requiring intense preparation and hard work, but it's probably the most sure fire way not to bomb.
