Klein comes across as a well-grounded, reasonable man, as opposed to the stereotype of comedians as drug-addicted misfits. I was especially struck by Klein's humanity, his obvious caring for people and their well-being. His frank, honest portrayal of Rodney Dangerfield as a brilliant but flawed man is quite refreshing. He held nothing back, including his still-painful disappointment at Rodney's betrayal of his family and friends late in his life. All in all, this was a terrific interview, well worth the time spent listening to it.

In the 1980's I had a couple of Klein's comedy LP's. They were hilarious, I remember one off then he talked about being a substitute schoolteacher in NYC. I grew up in NYC so I could relate. One of the LP's had a picture of RK sitting on a dentist chair, hilarious. I always enjoyed seeing him on the Tonight Show and The Ed Sullivan Show. Thank you Mr Klein for making me laugh so hard.

Klein 's Dangerfield impression is about as good as impression as I've ever heard by anyone, of anyone. Listened three times to the bit about Rodney's brother the men's room attendant: not only does he nail the voice -- and in a subtle way, not at all exaggerated as many impersonators do -- but listen closely to the pace and the inflections. Rodney was one of a kind, and Klein was one of another kind: both of them towering figures on the history of stand up comedy. I feel lucky to have seen them both perform live.

My uncle, great guy, very intelligent in a low key way, loved Rodney. I didn't get his humor the same way as a kid, and when I asked him about it, my uncle said Rodney was a philosopher as much as he was a comedian, and his routines were an outlook on life.

Thank you for that great interview. I watch his videos once a week. I even show my grandkids the videos they laugh they’re 12 years old. It’s 2023 now. Not sure if this is true but I heard that prior to Rodney going into the hospital, he was asked by a friend how long do you think you’ll be in the hospital? Of course the answer was brilliant. Two weeks if all goes well. Couple of hours if it doesn’t.. it appears to me. He had the same stylus Henny Youngman. I love Henny Youngman one line. My wife wanted to go on a pleasure cruise, so I took her to the airport. I use that every once in a while for fun. Thank you.

This was wonderful for me to see. Thank you so much, from a lifelong fan of great comedy. Many years ago I got the insane idea that it would be nice to send Rodney a couple of jokes that I had the temerity to make up. I sent them to his club in NY. I thought at the time they were pretty good. One of them went like this: "I never get any respect.... the other day I bought some M&Ms. THEY MELTED IN MY HAND!! ". not surprisingly I never heard from him! PS. Sometime back in the late 60's I ran into Jerry Stiller in a restaurant in Brooklyn. Later on my dad told me that he was probably in the neighborhood to tape a TV show at a studio which was nearby. Further research told me that is was probably a Kraft Music Hall segment.

Robert Klein in the 80's was THE comic. Jerry Seinfeld should shovel about 20% of what he's earned in his career his way. Jerry et al, the 90's comics and beyond, were pale imitations of RK. He was the master. Go back and listen to his seminal work the Child Of The 50's album. I haven't listened to it in 25 years but know every line from every bit. I owned it and musta listened to it 50 times. The problem with RK as a comic was his all consuming desire to a be an actor. Comedy's loss was Broadway's gain. Live long and prosper Mr. K.

In the mid 1990s, I watched my somewhat excitable wife run across the length of the Stardust casino to catch up to Rodney after his show, as he walked alone towards the elevator. He was definitely showing his age and looked quite tired. When she caught up (by now I was in chase to try to head her off), she said, "Rodney! Rodney! I've lost all my money at the craps table, but I'll be happy if I can get a picture with you!" Rodney turned at the elevators, gazed at her as if appraising, and said, "Hey, honey, you can have me if you want." He even threw in a tie adjustment. Just a lovely, wonderfully talented and kind man.

That is the most honest interview I ever heard. It was obvious that Robert was incredibly angry at how Rodney treated his family. Usually, people keep this stuff quiet, especially at a funeral, but Robert couldn't get over it. Still, he paid Rodney the respect of coming to his funeral. Is Robert in good health? It looks like his shoulder bag might be a portable oxygen generator and he's sitting in a wheelchair. I hope i'm totally wrong.

My friend, Jay Leno loved Rodney and went to the hospital to see him near his end. Rodney seemed unconscious and Joan, Rodney's wife whispered to Rodney, Jay was there and squeeze Jay's finger, sort of to say hi, Rodney squeezed Jay's finger and Jay leaned over to Rodney and said "hey, that wasn't my finger", and Rodney laughed for the last time.

I admire Robert Klein for his talent and intelligence. The way he delivered made you feel he was appealing to your cerebral self. His pace and phrasing held me rapt, even as a young kid. He is a superb storyteller. In fact, Robert Klein just told a story that would normally have me annoyed and disappointed with Rodney Daingerfield for how he snubbed RK, a long-term, genuine friend.😮 Yet, somehow, with the genuine forgiveness and acceptance, and the manner that he told the story, RK slipped any righteous indignation or bitterness right past me and I'm glad I still have respect for Rodney Daingerfield.
