[@delvikingjr5739]

There is no one out there to replace these very talented entertainers Late nights shows are a waste of time . The guests are boring , the singers cant sing , movies suck , music Sucks .

[@gdc615]

You left out the nipples

[@laddiemeadows1156]

Johnny was a real pro. He allowed his guests to do their thing. He wasn't constantly interrupting trying to be cute.

[@drdre4397]

Matt Beeman Actually they are comedians; however, a lot of hosts today do not respect their guests

[@delvikingjr5739]

Absolutely correct . Johnny was also a fan of these great talented people and visaversa

[@zippy-zappa-zeppo-zorba-etc]

Back in the day, all hosts were in broadcasting. Letterman was the last one. Since Leno they've all been comedians. He was the rare comedian who could also listen to a guest. Almost all others are trash.

I sure to miss those comedians. Rodney was one of my favorites. & I just loved Carson. Rickles and George Carlin, Pryor, Winters, Mason, Robin Williams and so many more. I can't believe how time just flew by.

[@maryl5567]

We need more comedians like Dangerfield!! Comedians nowadays could learn well from him..End of an era ☹️

[@gd5158]

All established comedians today learned from him so, we're good. On the other hand, he had such a specific niche and style. You really had to be as miserable and fucked up as him to be able to do it and honestly I wouldn't wish his life on no one.

[@piehound]

End of an Orang Utan. Well anyways they both start with vowels. Orang utan in Indonesian means man of the forest. And i know Rodney loved trees. The tree of Respect was one of his favorites. How to identify such a tree ??? It had $50 dollar bills as leaves.

[@BigBoss-zi5ss]

All the new comedians coming up now will suck cause they grew up in this watered down soft generation where you can't all anymore jokes about ppl and cultures and sex etc etc

[@piehound]

@@BigBoss-zi5ss I pretty much agree. But check out Russel Peters. He is funny.

[@mythicalmountancentralasia6183]

I loved Rodney. His ticks, mannerisms (always adjusting his neck tie), comedic timing and delivery were impeccable.

[@GeneBurnett]

Agree! I saw him live one back in the day and man, he was much dirtier than anything he ever did on TV. ;~)

What's amazing about Dangerfield is I never saw him once trip up a sentence or word, it's remarkable as he talks so fast, it must have been months of practicing.

[@davidjohnston5033]

Rodney, The man, The myth and the legend. When a comedian could do a 30 minute set without one, one I mind you curse word. This was the golden age of talent, and John was the best talk show host ever. He never cut a guest off while telling a story, never the fake Fallon laugh. I’m 58 now and I remember when my mom would let me stay up late during summer vacation to watch The Tonight Show. Great memories.

[@mikeg.9238]

Julio Santos You are right and Rickles is the last one of that era of real comedians who don't have to say FU in every other word to be funny. I'm glad I'm old enough to have seen them when they did their original appearances on TV. Also I remember some of the Dean Martin roasts from the early 70,s, I was a kid but I remember my parents laughing there assess off, every now and then I go watch them on KZbin and crack up, they destroyed each other without swearing and it's still funny as hell.

[@JCSanto]

Geniuses...unlike whatever goes for comedy now...these were men geniuses..Rickles ...My all time fav ..I really miss watching it with my parents and cracking up ..we had it pretty good in the 70s....till 80s came along f@$ked it all up..lol.

[@mikeg.9238]

Julio Santos Yeah I agree, Rickles is my favorite also, but I have to say the 80,s were a good time for me, I was going through my teens during that decade and had a lot of fun and wouldn't trade it for the world. We didn't have political correctness BS and everyone got along with each other. Not to mention we good music, parties and girls so I can't complain, plus things were much simpler back then, just my opinion...

Dangerfield was one of the all-time greats... He could roll with any given scenario and had an anecdote for every occasion. Kudos also to Doris Day, for after all...Generally, when Carol Wayne was in a room she got all the men's attention, but Doris found the answer to that dilemma...She no doubt blind other drivers in traffic with those high beams on her way home (LOL) Carol Wayne ?

[@warmweatherfriend1756]

There's a real art to stand-up comedy. It's not easy. But, Rodney was an artist and always delivered. Back in 1968 or 1969, I was in the Steel Pier theater in Atlantic City waiting for the main act, the Temptations to come on. The warm up act was a comedian. The guy came out and told some of the worst jokes ever. I felt sorry for him. The audience was silent. But, that was the set-up. After a few minutes he said, "this isn't working, I'll be right back." So, he came back on stage with a dummy and was a brilliant ventriloquist. I laughed until my stomach ached. Never forgot it. Great comedy brightens our day. Delivery is what it's all about. And, Rodney could deliver with the very best.
