I saw Rodney in the 80s. He came out and rattled off jokes non stop for over an hour , I was laughing so hard I couldn’t breath . Thank you for all the laughs Mr Dangerfield, a legend

[@oneanddone7992]

I saw him in 1989. Same thing. He did 90 minutes of one liners (that works about to about 360). By the end of the show, people were exhausted. That night, he was as funny as any comedian I have heard, before or since. He _killed_ that night.

[@thefrontpage]

I saw Rodney in the '80s, too, and he was excellent! Long live Rodney Dangerfield!

rodney was the best, he could really make you laugh, and forget all your troubles!. shame all of them are gone now ed mac man, johnny carson , robert goulet, and rodney dangerfield. now rodney tells his jokes to a higher level, god bless you, and thanks for all the laughs.

[@lifetimes2983]

Having seen a few of Rodneys clips from his many Carson appearances it really makes me wonder just how many...jokes this guy had in his head. A few I have heard before but many are new and they just KEEP ON COMIN. He was killin Bob Goulet in this clip and of course Carson figured out early just get Rodney pushed away from the dock and he'll go for 20 minutes solid. All time fav. Classic delivery keeps even the older stuff fresh. Amazing

[@joestahl9102]

He wrote jokes for like 20 years while selling aluminum siding

Noticed, how Johnny used to let Rodney go loose without interrupting, but only to back up or reaffirm what he already said for comedic effects, Carson was the best and so was Dangerfield, true legends. Imagine today’s night talk hosts back then? none of them would have made it.

[@frankreedy6437]

Dig the outfit on Robert Goulet! He looks like the cameo of the week on Hawaii 5-0. Carson’s straight man interview style with his guest comedians was brilliant - wind them up and let them carry the show. Rodney had all the style of the greatest laugh machines: rapid head and eye movement, rolling the eyes, the east coast accent, the moving hands and non-stop one liners. He was an encyclopedia for jokes; all he needed was a key word, like cars, girls, cocktails or Sports, and he knew 40 jokes along each topic. Must have had a memory and a mind like a computer. Classics, Dangerfield and Carson.

So fascinating to travel back in time to get glimpses of these entertainers when they were still at the top of their game in 1973. Weird to think how time takes everybody out so relentlessly. If they were still alive today, Ed McMahon would be 100 years old and Rodney would be 102 years old. Johnny would be 98 and Robert Goulet would be 90.
