Rodney Dangerfield on Conan (1997-01-31)

Conan interviews Rodney Dangerfield after a brief stand-up spot. From Late Night on January 31st, 1997.

[@eshim3961]

I am not sure where this new obsession of mine with Rodney Dangerfield came from, but I'm sure glad it did. The man is a legend.

[@adityamohan8514]

Norm MacDonald

[@bambislow5180]

Him and don rickles were great. No swearing. Watch Reagan's 1st and 2nd inauguration. Rodney did the first one, rickles the 2nd

[@brooksbrigmon2533]

Mine came from The Simpsons cameo

[@callenjohnson81]

I know what you mean.. ive always been a fan of his but I've been going back watching all his old appearances on KZbin lately..

[@thegr8rambino]

same thing happened to me recently lol

[@AMPFIELDVISION]

He doesn't give interviews, he sits down and does more jokes lol

[@Mustafa2892]

A-M-P maybe those weren’t jokes?

[@michaeldevito5575]

I can relate to Rodney. I met a girl at the mall the other day and told her I'm alone. She said. HAVE FUN.

[@hoagielamp6543]

Much like Norm. Lovely to watch.

[@AMPFIELDVISION]

@@Mustafa2892 I was saying that’s how talented he was, it was natural, he was a natural comedian!

[@bodybldrmarcus]

He was the best when on Carson. Carson would just let him run his jokes without actually trying to interview him, he would just let him be his genius self.

[@sudacagamer]

On Carson it was basically a planned script/routine between the two of them. Two completely diffrent styles, Conan just tried his best to achieve some kind of balance.

[@mpwall123]

His delivery is impeccable

[@The22on]

I always thought the two greatest deliveries in comedy were Rodney Dangerfield and Sam Kineson.

[@phantom_fox_blue4384]

Very true.

[@waynej2608]

Absolutely. Rodney was a comedian for the ages.

[@tjkinsella1111]

Yo! @mpwall123 I swear I wasn't biting off your comment when I just posted exactly what you said about Rodney's impeccable timing. I rarely post anywhere on the interwebs, but got inspired when 2 of my favorites showed on my YT algo and after watching and reading some of the comments here, I was inspired to relate. Swear to Joe Pesci.

[@Rainlover1984]

I can hear the same joke over and over and he still makes me LMAO!! Dangerfield rocks!!

[@jerrykorec9926]

Amazing

[@thebudkellyfiles]

The Master. The best there ever was. Miss ya Rodney.

[@Kazyman]

Rodney pulled many a laugh from his audience, but inside he was a sad child that was loved by no one; not even his mother. How sad. He never felt 'good' inside. The closest he ever came to that was when he made people laugh. He wrote his own jokes and was an AMAZING comedian in his own right. I hope God is still hugging you and giving you the love you never got as a child, Rodney. Thanks for the laughs, friend.

[@michaeldundee8300]

True

[@AFKAwesome]

Some people are just born funny

[@cliffordamey4822]

Most great comedians are very sad and lonely people on the inside.

[@morethan3756]

His mother never breasfed him. She said she only wanted him as a friend.

[@MrTruth111]

@@morethan3756 there is a doc. about his mother and his early life, so sad. His mother and a friend went to the cinema and he wanted to come with them. Then she told him he could come, but they sneaked out before he was ready and he could see them walk and laugh down the street. Makes me cry.

[@andyscorner101]

What a comic, What a comic. The absolute BEST ever. RIP Rodney and thanks for the laughs.

What a crowd WHAT A CROWD! I’m alright now but last week I was in rough shape you know.... Why just yesterday I went to see my doctor... you know my doctor Dr Vinny Boombotz!..... I tell ya he’s a strange doctor oh yeah. I asked him if my heart was strong enough for sex he said not if I join in...... I know I’m not good with the ladies I’m an ugly guy! Why just last week a girl called me up and said “Come over there’s nobody home”, I went over and THERE WAS NOBODY HOME!

[@vernwallen4246]

My car broke down,i called AAA,they left the car and towed me away!! Classic Rodney!!

[@adamcharney]

I'll never tire of Rodney Dangerfield.

[@travels129]

Even wen he sits down for the interview his cracking jokes a natural

[@excelsciors]

I miss Rodney so much as a comic and as a human being. Rodney loved to make people laugh! May Rodney's soul continue on forever!

[@SuperKelbe]

This was a great show. Sad to know we'll never see this type of programming again.

[@tjkinsella1111]

Thank the comedy gods we can on KZbin tho!

[@Mrcfrickie]

One of the best! I would have loved to see him live. R.I.P Rodney

[@derricko4137]

Best ever R.I.P Rodney

[@watermelonsunglop]

What a riot! There he goes. Rodney is an irreplaceable character to the world. Conan is a lucky man to have gotten to meet so many classics and introduce new classics throughout his career! Not to mention he is pretty easy on the eyes circa late 90's ;-)

[@riffy1003]

He is the Mount Rushmore of comedians

[@Kazyman]

"Here here!!!"

yea, same 4 jokes over and over

@@riffy1003 That's the kind of joke he would make following the rushmore comment but you wouldn't understand something that subtle.

[@TUBULETD46]

Rodney should have lived forever - thank goodness for these vids!

[@vivaldesque]

That Nunio's was a rough restaurant. On the menu they had "a broken leg of lamb"! Haha

[@marvinthiessen3454]

At Nunzio's you had a choice of shooting or non-shooting sections. The lobsters had tiny cement collars.......

[@jaredsparr8536]

A national treasure 🙏🏼👏🏼

[@vandoesselaerewillem6889]

Rodney , one off the greatest !

[@abc456f]

He was at his best with Johnny. Firing jokes like a machine gun. And Johnny would play his straight man. Two legends that are sorely missed.

[@ukmedicfrcs]

Never be another Rodney. RIP you genius!

[@nycboricua9895]

"I have my eye on her brother too." LMAO

[@CuriousGoodsJessica]

I always wished I could have had the chance to meet this legendary man, Mr. Rodney Dangerfield, and tell him I greatly respect his all of his work and that he made me laugh every time I heard him speak. I've never known anybody that DIDN'T laugh at his routines & thought he was somehow so real through his "act" that you almost felt guilty laughing at/with him!

[@booklover3959]

Rodney......even when he is bad he is good......gotta love him.

[@Phyoomz]

"...and I got my eye on her brother" I spat out my tea! 😂😂😂

[@lesliediaz3677]

Rodney Dangerfield, Joan Rivers, Phyllis Diller, Garry Shandling, Robin Williams :( They are kings and queens!

[@matthewhudson7883]

You lost me at Joan Rivers but I found you again at Phyllis Diller.

[@DWQJVB]

Robin Williams was a Queen

[@robertkelly2559]

1st seen Rodney in easy money I've loved him since then and he never has disappointed. RIP Rodney Dangerfield. Thanks for tje laughs that will never stop.

RIP Rodney, this guy and Norm McDonald make my day every time.

I like that Conan let's Rodney speak. I wish Rodney was here today,we need him more than ever!!! 2020 pandemic. the year where I will watch Rodney videos over and over to keep my sanity. lmao

[@dustynn.9030]

There is very little better then coming across a Dangerfield interview you have never seen before. LEGEND.

[@sidm4361]

He is one of the, if not THE BEST ever was! Just non-stop humor!

[@ssl1506]

Great stuff - I always hope, when I watch these later interviews, that the "newer" generation host would at some point ask Rodney how his doctor is, as if in a nice "in the know" tribute to how gracefully Carson used to slide into the straight man role for some of his guests - still great stuff to see Rodney still doing the classic show biz guest show route

[@jjs490]

Simply the greatest he was unequaled , without peer..he is missed a lot...

[@billgatesleavingyamomshous8177]

21 years ago holy smokes

[@Dclxvi6x3]

I think he knew how much respect he got. He is a legend R.I.P. 😢

[@krlm2280]

One of my favorite comedians ever Pryor, Murphy, Lawrence Griffin and rodney are my favorites

[@not.supermario]

Compare this to Johnny Carson. The audience then was so into it, everyone was losing it. Here, as Don Rickles said of Conan's audience, "Don't you get the feeling we're at a funeral service? Everytime they stop, they go into a coma".

[@victorespino5650]

The crowd was good here lol
