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

@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!

Rodney was simply outstanding. Flawless delivery every time. This was a great show!

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! And yes, it is one of my all-time favorite movies, too, and so glad that I saw it on the big screen in 1969.

[@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!
