Rodney Dangerfield - The Tonight Show

[@gtlfb]

Carson had the rare ability to sit back and let his guests be the stars. Perhaps that is why he lasted so long.

[@GaylordBuzzard]

He was one of the best straight men ever.

[@internetwonderbuilder4741]

Good point

[@sarahwebster8927]

D ODay Sit back and give the lime light to the guests?? Take notes Jimmy Fallon!!!

[@Figs3]

If you guys enjoy the guests talk and tell stories, I recommend Graham Norton.

[@Figs3]

@Shane Hawkins it's weird how you can tell how much more famous he's become. He's still the same Graham. But the level of celebrity guests has definitely increased over the years.

We saw Rodney at his club, Dangerfield's, NY city and they put us in the front row, right in front of the stage. No reservations, I called after we arrived at our hotel. My husband was crying, he was laughing so hard. Then a guy bumped into my husband, "excuse me, excuse me" and it was Robin Williams popping in. Robin then did a show. It was unbelievable!

And the rest of the cast were great and wow, all those cameos!! Hollywood will never make movies like that again and that is sad!

[@dominickjustave3558]

So true

[@santafejack]

At my age, 75, I've seen a lot of talented comedians, but Rodney gets top billing. He guaranteed numerous LOL moments every time he performed. And, in fact, squeezed so many laughs into his performance, you could watch the performance all over again and still LOL numerous times. His timing was so great, I'd laugh out loud even knowing the punch line in advance. What a talent!

[@benjaminfischer6022]

Louis CK, Norm MacDonald, and Dave Chappelle. Gotta love Dangerfield tho. Him and Carlin are the original mothafuckas

[@tpowell453]

I saw him in Houston live once, and honestly - I have never, ever laughed so hard in my life. Everyone came out of there with their stomachs literally hurting. I mean you just could not catch your breath! He timed it so that ... hell, it was pure genius. One of the funniest men ever. Boy, I miss Rodney.
