I feel the same way...

[@Torgo1969]

And everyone's got a chip on their shoulder these days. Back then my high school buddies and I cheered for and emulated everyone of all skin colors, as long as they had talent behind the microphone or on the athletic field or court.

[@ronalds.658]

The audience as well as the comedians changed. I am not sure Dangerfield (Cohen) humor would work today. People have become too angry, too political, and humorless in today's society.

Rodney Dangerfield is an American icon. He is absolutely . Amazing.

[@brianpearis1478]

I love GOLDIE said, "RODNEY DANGERFIELD in a sexy voice."

And also in a way, almost fearful. It was honestly great entertainment. I remember when award shows where like this.

Rodney Dangerfield was the best at one liner's.

Watch clips of Ricky Gervais hosting the Golden Globes. He's anything but politically correct.

@@justinb954 I don't disagree, but comedians don't "have to be politically correct" these days. In addition to RG, watch anything recent with Anthony Jeselnik

Sure wish he was still around because then he could host the Oscars and kill it amongst one of several things we need him around for ...

[@richardscott8503]

You wish indeed. Rodney was good - great? - for 5 or 10 mins tops. He never accepted or sought to host anything because he knew was unable to pull it off. And nobody would have wanted him that long. Short and sweet was his specialty.

I miss you Rodney!

[@portcitypersona]

My Dad loved Mr. Dangerfield. I love watching him. He was one of the greats- and always will be. I miss him and my Dad. I also know he had a rough life like many of us, and to still get up and make people laugh is a courageous act. I have depression and it helps to watch him when I wake up with the same heaviness that he would speak of in his act. He turned it to laughter which is the best medicine. Heaven has some great talent. 🌟

Not many people could get that many laughs in under 3 minutes. Legend!

[@vinnievalentine421]

I was once yelled at by an old man at a comedy show, for laughing too hard. While this old P. O. S. Didn't laugh the entire time, idk why those nut jobs even go to comedy shows if they don't have a sense of humor. Americans, a sad race

[@JustinStender]

It was all worth it just to hear Rodney say: "The Clan of the Cave Bear..."

Went to Dangerfields In Manhattan as one of my stops during prom night 1979, also went to Hawaii Kai, and windows of the world on top of the World Trade Center, remember pressing my nose against the glass window and looking straight down to the Streets can’t do that today,RIP
