Johnny was the best straight man Rodney ever had.

⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️ #THIS 💯🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Klaaism]

Was the perfect host. Knew when to shut up and let his guests shine.❤

[@GeneBurnett]

@@Klaaism Yup. Rare quality now.

[@leroyepps1146]

Yes he was 😅

[@Rob_Kates]

​@@Klaaism When the guests looked good, he looked good.

[@jeffreysmith3061]

Miss you Johnny. Miss you Rodney.

[@williambilyeu9801]

And now I miss Steve Lawrence! Steve Lawrence passed away 7 March 2024. 😢

[@joebiggs4387]

Rodney! One of my all-time favorite Carson guests.

[@rexoates4484]

On his gravestone it says “there goes the neighborhood”. Even in death he’s getting laughs. RIP Rodney.

[@user-zi2pl6bq6y]

If my math is correct that show aired about 45 years ago and it's still fresh.

[@vika0194]

The date is in the description. 2024 - that date.

[@whatarushlod]

I watched Caddyshack last night and Rodney Dangerfield was on fire in that movie!!!! I laughed my ass off!!!

[@goplad1]

Rodney was rapid fire funny. He wrote just about all his own material. Brilliant comedian. No one today in the comedy field comes close.

[@user-uq6sz6po3d]

"Oh my wife...last night she greeted me at the door in a see-through lingerie...she was the one coming home!" Rodney was the best.

[@pauljimenez2799]

Rodeny was arguably the best pure comic ever. Zero self-indulgence on panel. Pure discipline to remain in command of the material at all times. Kills on his set, kills on panel, cut to commercial - done. Who else could do that?

[@waskyhenry6306]

Legendary 🏆 Rodney Dangerfield with Johnny Carson. Good old days 😎 remembered.

[@martinhonan9588]

The golden age of late night TV and comedy. Glad I was able to witness greatness.

[@christopherdale7017]

When you could have a laugh and no one would get offended god bless Rodney Dangerfield and Johnny Carson I really miss those days.

[@jacobdehaan4114]

Two legends Rodney Dangerfield and Johnny Carson. RIP to both of them

[@Goawaykidyoubotherme]

Don't forget Steve Lawrence on the couch who just passed away

[@kl9307]

Johnny: *loosens his tie*, cuz he knows he'll choke on his laughter if he doesn't! 🤣🤣 R.I.P. to two of the best! 🥀 #laughterneverdies 🎭

[@bradparker9664]

No one will ever replace either of the two giants.

[@supe254]

Rodney doesn't let you breathe, makes you laugh non-stop 🤣

[@cycles.unplugged_inc]

He was among the best 😊

[@user-gb6re9eg3i]

ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!

[@thorgt8197]

You know what gets me so sad? When they show the color curtain at the end of these clips that Johnny use to walk out from.. it’s soo quite now. So much magic happened for 30 years. And it’s all gone… but never forgotten

[@TheCaliReadingTeacher]

Classic!!!

[@jillkjv3816]

Steve Lawrence couldn't stop laughing. 😊

[@5400bowen]

Thanx, I always wonder who the other guests are unless it someone better known than a guy like Lawrence.

[@fredbates7693]

One of Johnny Carson's talents, which was subtle but vital, was being able to, sequentially, feed gold to his guests.

[@zcat1006]

Rodney was not only funny as hell, but was like no other comedian. He lived his character. Only one Rodney…R.I.P

[@FINNBOGI69]

Man Rodney was a Beast

[@davecurda2350]

Loved watching Rodney he was great

[@VideoAmericanStyle]

Hearing Johnny and Ed crack up off camera is one of the best parts of Rodney’s appearances.

[@sdprazak]

With Rodney as a guest, Johnny didn’t have to do a thing but sit back and enjoy himself!

[@porico51]

We’ll never see two giants like Rodney and Johnny ever again. God I miss them both

[@yesterdayproductions1019]

Rodney was the best. Johnny Carson was about 100 times better than any late night host today.

[@Richard-mh5ll]

Remember watching this live on TV Rodney and Johnny were perfect together! Two great entertainers at the top of their game RIP love you guys!

[@Catratio]

Absolute legend!

[@asintonic]

always LOVED

[@roblogan2k2]

Rodney Dangerfield…just the best stand up comedian…ever. Thanks for the great one-liners, Rodney; you still pick me up when I feel low.

[@artiewilson1075]

When late night television was great

[@martinhonan9588]

Agreed 💯

[@davidblanchard9506]

I agree when I went over my dad's back then we will watch Johnny Carson and afterwards with watch Benny Hill. My dad will always say don't ever ever ever ever ever tell your mother I let you watch Benny Hill. She would have took him out on him

[@jeffreyhartshorn6433]

Pure gold best comedian and late show host ever

[@gregdebaggis5032]

Johnny and Rodney: the G.O.AT's of all time! Today's "entertainment" is so watered down and lame in comparison. I really miss these guys! ❤ ❤

[@anthonychihuahua]

My dad took me to the dog show.. ..and I won! 🏆🐶 No respect, I tell ya!

[@robertdiotalevi285]

This is new for me. So exciting!

[@19brittani]

this is comedy. this is his network tv act, his night club routine would melt your sensibilities. no wokeness, nobody got their feelings hurt. just talent and funny

[@robertdiotalevi285]

What a duo.❤ Those were the days…

Can’t go wrong watching two GOATS in action! Hilarious!

[@davidwolf226]

Boy oh boy... do I miss those days!

[@ICONICMUSIC]

More Rodney appearances plz. These are gold!

[@jst7714]

Best segments ever with Rodney!

[@RickMcCargar]

Some comedians were different...none of them were better than Dangerfield.

[@timothyrowland9896]

Rodney was definitely the greatest one liner ever.😊

[@BBJohnny52]

This is real comedy. I sure miss it 😢😢

[@risitas5874]

"At my High School Prom, the King and Queen were the same person" A joke 45 years too early.

[@pmafterdark]

I remember these times. They were great.

[@davidvenesky9053]

I wish there was a real time machine. I truly want to go back and stay there.

[@bradburks696]

RIP Steve Lawrence 😢

[@williamwhite2113]

Rodney!!

[@Hndrx88]

Omg this is pure comedy! Haven't laughed so hard in awhile😂😂 Thank you so much for these 8 minutes

I believe Steve Lawrence is still with us.

Just a machine gun of jokes. An absolute legend.

When EF Hutton talks, everybody listens. When Rodney talks, nobody listens! No respect, I tell ya!

Geez I miss those guys.

[@patriciadavis1393]

Not everyone enjoys Rodney Dangerfield but I love him he's so quick and he was from a great era of comics including Phyllis Diller and the legendary Joan Rivers😊😊😊😊

[@DanStrahan-pq7do]

I try to memorize a different Rodney joke every time I watch him

[@Maxfr8]

Dodney Rangerfield was hilarious.

[@johnsully7222]

OMG…Rodney….super special…

[@LARSAKER-tr1mw]

JOHNNY CARDON WAS A TRUE GENTLEMAN COMIC. LETS. ALL. OTHER COMICS. GET. TH R IR RESPECT

[@landonpotts6815]

Great job on this video.

[@dextert8188]

Those were the days...imagine telling those jokes today?!

[@johnbarroll1120]

Unbelieveable!!! lol.

[@jefferyroy2566]

For whatever reasons, there are not many famous folks with the last name "Roy." The most famous Roys now are the fictional family of "Succession," supposedly doubling for the Murdochs. What does Mr. Dangerfield have to do with this? His real name is Jack Roy, legally changed from Jacob Rodney Cohen when he was 19. So, here's to the King of self-deprecation, the funniest Roy to share my last name, even though it's been nearly 20 years since his passing.

[@TKOSound]

A 2 Bagger........ OMG

[@robertdiotalevi285]

You can take that a couple of ways!

[@FarzadFarhangi]

what a legend this man was

[@drweetabix]

Brilliant

[@ytugtbk]

There's nothing like punch-line comics. Short, sweet, and right to the point. Poets. As opposed to the likes of a Marc Maron, Joe Rogan, Patton Oswald, and the "alternative" bunch.

[@aaronlambert9297]

It really feels like Rodney enjoyed having Steve Lawrence sitting next to him. Steve's laughing and interaction seemed to give a bit of zip to his routine. Edit: Just saw that Steve Lawrence died this past March 7th at the age of 88.

[@bartonpercival3216]

"I tell ya Johnny my dentist there's another beauty my dentist. I asked him if he could put in a tooth to match my other teeth, he put in a tooth with 4 cavities" 👌😆

[@elementrypenguin3116]

THE funniest man EVER!!! It’s absolutely amazing how he can rip off one after another. If this were today there’d be some schlock comedian with Fallon or Kimmel and they’d be ripping Trump.

[@matthewmelton7831]

Taking breaks with the bag.. 😅😅

[@DougCeleste]

Was that Steve Lawrence sitting next to Rodney?

[@NeuralX000]

I'm glad I watched this.
