Dom Deluise, Rodney Dangerfield Carson Tonight Show 3/7-1974

[@Carpenterdane]

Oh my Lord! It's 2023 and I'm rolling!

[@davidhallett8783]

I m starting to think. There s nothing to this maya 2012 hype

[@delona6485]

This is one of the best late night episodes I have ever seen. No wonder Johnny Carson is considered a legend.

[@sergeo861986]

there will never be another Rodney Dangerfield. true genius

[@markh8646]

Rodney always carried himself very very well. Best comedian on the planet, nobody will ever be him.

[@crand20033]

George Carlin cracks me up too.

[@user-xj2sm3xd5l]

David Crandall Carlin, Winters, Dangerfield, Rickles... the best of the best (I would say Chappelle too but he’s not in the same “generation”)

The things you remember as a child🕶😲😀✌

[@mazda1942]

All the comedians mentioned are American. So how do you know what other comedians there are "on the planet" that do not qualify for your list. Did you know that there actually countries and comedians outside of the USA?

[@CookieCaspari]

When I was in high school I used to stay up late to watch Johnny Carson, I miss him. There will never be another one like him.

[@thejerseyj9422]

I did exactly the same thing and I remember this show. Also, do you remember Orson Bean ? He was a great talent, and very funny man in his own right.

[@roryestarks]

I used to watch Carson with my mom who was a night owl. We used to watch in L.A. when the Tonight Show was on from 11:30 to 1:00 AM. No wonder I missed so many days of school!

[@wesleyburke7514]

Jimmy Fallon..... ha ha

[@mariocisneros911]

Yep we had staying power in those years. Glad I still passed with good grades

[@vachiramondgunakasemtanawa5600]

Rodney, thanks for all the joy. I will always have respect and gratitude for you. Thank you so much for uploading this.

[@Urcutelove-s9z]

What a lovable , funny , good hearted man Dangerfield was one off the best comedians there was , won’t be forgotten , RIP

[@maggiemuraski9071]

You will never get anyone like Rodney Dangerfield, he was the best one liner ever.

[@frankt285]

True.....

[@kyolym]

Dom suffering with laughter at Rodneys jokes made this so much more precious to watch

[@mH8675309]

Agree - he’s almost as funny as Rodney

[@diceguyg3799]

At one point, it seemed he wasn't laughing so much at the jokes but at Rodney's non stop bringing up stuff which Carson had to be a set up man....like he was laughing more at Johnny trying to deal with dealing with Rodney.

[@puddysue]

I love Dom Deluise's laugh... it's so infectious!

[@philbertuglia2203]

Dom couldn;t stop laughing on this show, with Rodney there.

[@jhanlon1903]

its great to be able to watch Johnny and friends. He was the greatest.

[@tinawalton7703]

Johnny's a great straight man here. A terrific host who makes his guests shine. Nice to see.

[@bobdownes162]

It really baffles me that many people don't get that Carson is indeed playing the Straight man and beleive he is lost in the whole thing.

[@JohnKorvell]

Few, if any, could make Johnny laugh as did Rodney. And, to his credit, Johnny could be a heck of a straight-man feeding Rodney lines. Miss them both!!!

[@lornedey4040]

This is the closest Dangerfield ever got to actually having a conversation and yet he had a joke for everything. Funny guy!

[@Mr.Weskers]

It’s unfortunate that some of the great comedians of that time couldn’t have more serious sides of their personality explored. They always had to be “on,” and I guess Dick Cavette helped take on that role to add depth, but even then. I venture to say for example Chris Farley could have gotten an Oscar. I read somewhere someone in Hollywood had told Chris Farley he would be great in a drama. Dangerfield starred in a drama.

[@PatDK]

@@Mr.WeskersI don’t know about Farley doing anything dramatic… the stories Spade tells of his moods, it would have pushed him over the edge

[@Mr.Weskers]

@@PatDK I think Farley would have been fantastic in a serious drama. Even better than John Candy.

[@mauricegibney8449]

They were saving their laughs for Rodney 😀 listening to Rodney is an instant cure for depression

[@mistertibbs6542]

I was lucky enough to see Dangerfield perform in Vegas, many years....decades ago.

[@user-xj2sm3xd5l]

Mister Tibbs lucky bastard

[@chefpetey]

Me too in 84

[@poligonzo5300]

What a privilege brother he's one of the best comedians I've ever heard in my entire life he's amazing

[@anthonyg8063]

I saw Rodney at Caesars in May of 1984.

[@theunknown4570]

I could listen to Dangerfield 24/7

[@boblozaintherealworld3577]

"....the rabbit didn't die, it just stays in critical condition.". i LMAO every single time I hear it. Also the "....who's talking' here?" bit. Too much.

[@d.w.591]

Me to !

[@user-xj2sm3xd5l]

Hell yes

[@johnmamo653]

I met Rodney! At a party! Falls out of a helicopter drugged out on cocaine! He was great! Rip Rodney 💔🙏🙏 😇

[@stephensmith8316]

Two of my favorite comedians/actors. I never realized they appeared together on the Carson show. Granted it was before my time, but it's great to see these two on stage together with Carson. Wish they were both still around. Fatso and Easy Money are some of my favorite comedies.

[@willrobinson3662]

R.I.P. Dom DeLuise and Rodney Dangerfield (the voices of Itchy Itchiford and Rover Dangerfield). Those guys were real funny.

[@makeadifference4all]

Rodney Dangerfield's couch bits on the "Tonight Show" were golden. He was pushing the envelope for broadcast TV in 1974.

[@alfneuman4056]

I saw Dom Deluise at the Warren theatre - Last of the Red Hot Lovers. He had everyone rolling in the aisles.

[@blackhole4466]

This was so much fun, I didn't want it to end.

[@bondpyant5730]

Johnny bailed Rodney out when he ran out of jokes...that was Class.

[@cryptolights6879]

Many times over the years. Awesome stuff.

[@thurmanwatson5954]

I miss his comedy, made you laugh and feel great no matter how bad it was at that time.

[@jjs490]

Man he was like a machine gun delivery wasn't he....ya had to love him... the love he never got at home came in Spades once he started to make it - and it never stopped... you were the greatest Rodney , Rest in peace young man !

[@brucebisbey9554]

Another time, reminds of my grand parents. Thank you for sharing.

[@antarctic8560]

Wow, how old are you?

[@steffjacey6484]

This, folks, was the golden age of TV. I pity this generation that holds up the Kardashian's as entertainment.

[@jasonsmith8300]

kardashian and entertainment in the same sentence I didn't even think those words were allowed in the same sentence

[@hardcoredoom5892]

We’re not too thrilled to be spoken down to by those who use possessive apostrophes mistakenly. I guess we’re even, huh?

[@joshuakirschenbaum417]

Agreed

[@Inthemixmedia]

Golden Age? I don't think so.

[@YesYou-zy7kp]

Those were the days when entertainers went into the entertainment industry because they loved it. They would have been entertainers even if it meant they had to live on the street. Today's "entertainers" are in it just for the money.

[@jimlaguardia8185]

Rodney was one of the few of whom it could be said that everything about him was funny, like Groucho, Hackett, Gleason. Very rare talent.

[@jimanderson2518]

You got that right my friend

[@nighttrain1131]

As Rodney is on a roll with Johnny, Dom Deluise can't stop laughing.

[@Patrick-ud3vu]

44 years later... And still funny!

[@louisianagrandma9787]

I just wanted to thank you so much Archilchus Moz, for sharing this. These shows were wonderful. It was such a relaxing and uplifting way to unwind from the stress of the day, watching these before turning in at night. Watching Johnny's show was an escape from the stress of the news and the daily grind of the day. None of the talk shows of today, offer this. Thanks again.

[@AntonioSanchez-tu1fb]

When Rodney came on ,it was all over!....So funny and a TRUE ORIGINAL!....

[@frankortiz_HeroDad]

Gotta love Dom's laughter.

[@michaelmarine4522]

Yeah,I remember one time I called my landlord and told him I got a leak in the sink. He says "go ahead".

[@agod5608]

a great show, thanks. iiss Johnny Carson. this clip makes me miss my younger days.

[@bgmeadows6085]

Johnny was a real pro. He always allowed his guests to do their thing without constantly interrupting.

[@TERoss-jk9ny]

You’ll never see it now!

[@georgeionescu6425]

what a talent,knowing to shut up

[@mH8675309]

That’s it in a nutshell- letting people shine and not having to steal their thunder

[@asadadon]

He had Dom crying laughing. 😂

[@jeanettefouse314]

Producer should've shown Dom more! He musta been crying over Machine gun Rodney. From 1st one liner....was a great set from Dom too...they both got a little outside for the times !!! Yay! Great post!

[@depaola63]

I love Dom Deluise laughing his ass off next to Rodney! They're all gone now.....Great days of TV! I was only 11 in 1974.

[@paigecat9104]

I was 3 and my brother was a baby.

[@brianleblanc7893]

I Was 11 Also In 1974.....Those Days Of TV Are Long Gone....Sad

[@paigecat9104]

brian leblanc that is sad it's not the same quality never so much garbage on so many channels. It's all about pushing agendas down our throats instead of entertaining us.

[@depaola63]

Right on my fellow " baby boomer" 1963, May I was born...I enjoy talking to people the same age as me on here! I LOVE youtube for that reason, going back to my good days! Wonderful memories!

[@motnosniv]

Rodney's expression after the pied piper joke fell flat was priceless. 26:43

[@ErichLRuehs]

Was this when Carson was still in New York City? And, somebody told me The Tonight Show was 1:30 hours long back then. Either way, Johnny Carson was the one and only, top dog, rock star talk show host. Whomever you feel is second best, is a very long way from this gifted host. Damn, I miss late night TV so much.

[@robmorrison1043]

This from LA, and yes! The show used to be on from 1130pm to 1am.

[@TheFockers1000]

Actually in the very beginning the tonite show was 1:45 minutes. Ed McMahon hosted the 1st 15 minutes.

[@jamesanthony5681]

Carson moved the Tonight show to LA in 1972.

[@theunknown4570]

I was 1 year old when this aired. Time sure flys people. ENJOY THE NOW.

[@roadrunnerchickadee]

Neil Tipton I was 9 months, Rodney was always one of my favorites and later realized that Rodney started a lot of my other favorite comics.

[@JP5466]

I love how Rodney had Dom cracking up

[@edwinearl4584]

That is Orson Bean. I wish they would have included his segment. Very funny guy. Versatile.

[@tambrosia]

Johnny Carson was the best of the late night hosts and knew how to get involved and sit back and very seldom every got into politics not like the jerks on air now. RIP Johnny and thanks for the Laughs

[@weirdshibainu]

Carson is still king of late night

[@paigecat9104]

Amen never be another like him out could replace him. I remember when he retired and hated it no don't leave us Johnny! wah. You can't learn what he had.

[@RJ1999x]

+Paige Cat The difference between Carson and the rest of these hacks, less David Letterman, Carson made the show about the guests, these other make the show about themselves

[@paigecat9104]

RJ 1999 Your so right about that. The others have to incorporate their own antics to get attention for the program Johnny didn't!

[@agod5608]

weirdshibainu hell yeah. I also like Craig Ferguson

[@marvinmartian7281]

Yeah! the king ot the dead

[@cosmomccaulley7413]

sad to think all these people are gone now... The Show Must Go On

[@Face2theScr33n]

"Where ya goin', Rodney?" "Leave me alone!!" The only time I think the man ever blushed for real!

[@jscordoba3]

I was only a know nothing kid when Johnny was still on, but even I noticed the difference between Johnny and the people who came after. miss him still

[@sclogse1]

Wow, I love the picture of the father, and the line about a barber hitting his kids...

Those were the days..I was 15....those were good days.. when Seattle was still Seattle.

[@LUIS-ox1bv]

And when America was well.....America!

Rodney got very very scared right before that picture came out. He got very serious. His reaction is funny.

More talent on that stage than the entire Hollywood pretenders today. This was TV at it's best.

[@kikionthetrailoflove7036]

@@jamesanthony5681 Obviously you are too young to remember him, he was an extraordinarily talented comedian, author and chef. Canon Ball Run movies, did the voices for multiple cartoon movies and appeared in a wide range of variety shows which included the Dean Martin Show. Hollywood legend.

[@jamesanthony5681]

@@kikionthetrailoflove7036 I'm old enough. I remember DeLuise on the Dean Martin show in the barbershop sketches, and in the Smokey?/Cannonball Run? movies with Burt Reynolds. In fact Dom & Burt used to come on the Tonight show together (promoting a movie, I guess), with Reynolds laughing uncontrollably at anything DeLuise had to say. Seriously, Burt would be on his knees laughing, and I used to think, wtf is so funny?? Crickets. I didn't know about the author and chef aspect.
