There's a video on KZbin of Rodney Dangerfield on David Letterman's show but David Letterman kept interrupting the flow of jokes. Rodney D pauses before the punchline and Johnny Carson knows to keep quiet during that pause. David Letterman didn't know and tried to come in with his own wit - it's called 'treading on the jokes' and it ruins the surprise of a funny line. Johnny Carson seems to be doing nothing as an interviewer but in fact he is trusting the comic to fill the silence with something worth waiting for. That's a skill which many TV presenters are too anxious and too self-promoting to nurture.

[@alexacolby5083]

Jimmy Fallon is the worst of the worst. He constantly interrupts guests.

[@bubbaguy4411]

And that ..was just one reason why Letterman didn't succeed Carson. Letterman hates being the passenger and needs some sense of control. The best thing any talk show host can do (as we see) is sit back and let the guest flow.

Yes , I think you nailed it. Lettermans' style worked with some , Norm McDonald for instance, but not Rodney so much. Of course Carson set the bar ....still does.

We saw Rodney with Robbin Williams, Jim Carrey, Bernie Mac and Pauli Shore in Anaheim for the Tribute to Sam Kinison. It was being shot for HBO. Not a bad first date. We sat on the isle that Rodney came down and he put his arm around my wife before he got to the stage. She was so happy. I haven’t been able to top that one.

@@motogp001 Speaking of warm-ups... I never knew that programs like Carson's Tonight Show would have comedians come out before the shows started taping and "warm up" the audience for Carson. Carson mentioned it once when Buddy Hackett had been out and the program started with the audience in hysterics. Apparently Buddy been treating them to portions of his Vegas act which was not for prime time.

Comedy Genius The facial expressions, eyes, body movements, impeccable timing. Add up to screaming laughter. 1 of a kind The Legend Rodney Dangerfield!

[@kensellers4082]

I always admired that shiny polyester suit Mr. Dangerfield usually wore during his appearances. It just seemed to go with his seemingly never-ending flow of perspiration.

I asked the bartender to make me a Zombie and he said "God beat me to it!" 😂😂 Oh Rodney! R.I.P. You were one of a kind.

We can say college beat him to it today

His last appearance is clearly one of his best. Rodney loved Johnny and never disappointed him or that great audience of his. We didn’t appreciate him while we had him. We couldn’t have… he was just that good. 🎙 😂

May his sole rest in peace. There is no more good times like this. Rodney was one of the best.🙏

It’s hard to imagine that about the same amount of time has passed since Johnny first started the Tonight Show, to this episode with Rodney, and then to now. Have sure enjoyed seeing some of the appearances of Rodney over the span of the Tonight Show on KZbin, and of course starting back in the late 80’s when I was a teen, I could stay up late and see Rodney guest star on first run Tonight Show episodes. Rodney was always first class but always hilarious.

Class act. Miss you Rodney. You get tons of respect from me sir.

I was such an ugly baby - my parents didn't receive a birth certificate. Instead they got a bill for vandalism ! One day, in a sharp turn, I fell of my bike. I got arrested for throwing trash !

Rodney and Johnny. Two absolute masters of their respective crafts. Rodney with his one liners and masterful deliveries, Johnny being one of the best straight men in comedic history. Other times Johnny would just sit there and let his guests shine, not stealing their thunder. RIP guys. You brought a lot of hilarity to an otherwise insane world. Man, how we could use you guys now!

[@L8terdays]

I absolutely loved this guys comedy. May Gods perpetual light shine on your soul Mr. Dangerfield.
