Rodney was one of the greatest stand-up comics of all time, and Johnny was the best there ever was at the banter, playing straight for the comedian, etc. His interviews were like conversations.
Johnny Carson was definitely one of kind, best to ever do it for sure.
what a show! My brother and I would sneak downstairs and turn the volume waaaay down and try not to laugh too hard!!
Circa 1981.
In 1974 I was
15 years old. I used to stay up after my parents had gone to bed & watch the tonight show with Johnny. Got to see so many legendary comedians. In 1978 I was in community college working with another student who had his own company building & installing mailboxes in the Denver area. We ended up driving to Las Vegas one weekend. We ended up on the strip and noticed an older Rolls Royce parked below one of the signs next to a Casino. The license plate read "Dngrfld". We came back to that spot later that afternoon & Rodney was walking out to the car. We chatted with him for about 5 minutes, during which he must've cracked about 50 jokes. I was in tears by the time he finally climbed into his car. The fact that he took that time to just joke with a couple random strangers on the street said a lot to me!
Wry down to earth indeed.
Rodney Dangerfield in Back to School is absolute comedy gold, not only for Rodney Dangerfield but also for Sam Kinison being in it.
Oh, you're majoring in English? Maybe you can straighten out my Longfellow.
Easy Money with Joe Pesci
Caddyshack and Back to School are peak Rodney!!!
How about Fantasy Land! 😂
And Kurt Vonnegut
Dom Deluise was the guy sitting next to Rodney Dangerfield who was pretty funny himself. He was very famous too!
That's his name Dom. I was trying to remember but had a brain fart. They can check out the movie "Cannonball Run." He did the voice of a cat in "An American Tail." More Rodney movies: Easy Money, Back To School. The latter has a young Robert Downey Jr. And a William Zabka who you may know as Johnny from Karate Kid.
@@Saiman9000He was also the godfather in The Princess Bride, the director in Blazing Saddles! But he really shined in Cannonball Run.
His film The End with his pal Bert Reynolds was his tour de force
I find it hilarious that you need to point out who Dom Deluise is. Feeling mighty old right about now. Guess they never q watched Cannonball Run.
Do & Johnny did one of the funniest skits I've seen on the Tonight Show; Dom want to show Johnny a trick using raw eggs. The trick worked, then eggs started flying everywhere!
It's amazing Dangerfield lifetime commitment to making everyone he meets smile.
Great biography stuff on Rodney on TH-cam. We had fun in the '80s. Caddyshack, Easy Money, and Back to School. Rodney classics.
I am 59 and you young folks have me in stitches. Your reactions are priceless. 😂
Have you all seen the Uncle Roy skits from SNL in the 70’s? OVER. THE. TOP. That skit would never pass the censors now.
Thank you so much! - Joe
Same here- in the same age range and I appreciate these reactions so much!!
The balding man sitting next to Rodney Dangerfield was the late, great Dom DeLuise , who was himself a comedian and actor. You know you're good when you have a fellow comedian doubled over with laughter! Love these reaction videos. Thanks for the laughs and the memories.
From the 60s to 80s millions of people tuned into the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson five nights a week. Remember there were only three networks until cable in the mid 80s got big. It was a right of passage getting to be old enough for your folks to let you stay up to watch at least the opening monolog.
I remember, Mike! In high school, as classes were about to start each day, we'd say to our buddies, "Hey, did you catch the monologue last night?" Everyone knew what "the monologue" meant!
I love how Rodney's set doesn't actually stop.
He merely takes a break to get to the seating area, then launches right back into his act.
I remember hearing some time ago appearing on the Johnny Carson show was like a double edge sword for an up & coming comedian. You made Johnny laugh then your career moves foward; however, if you didn't your career is over. Kudos to Rodney for an outstanding performance-truly a master of his art!
The more you see of Rodney, the more you love and appreciate him.
Johnny Carson was a funny man himself. At the beginning of every show he did a monologue that was actually a stand up comedy routine. He also had very funny skits.
Carnac the Magnificent was one of them. :O)
@@bintheredonethat yup. I loved him
What? Carson's monologue was no more (or less) stand-up than every other late night host. Letterman, Leno, Conan, Kimmel, Colbert....all of them had the same style of monologue as Carson. Personally, i think Letterman bested Carson, but Carson was great, too.
@@trekkiejunk yes, Leno's was also stand up comedy. I never saw the others so I can't speak for theirs
@trekkiejunk6322 Carson was way before any of those guys. If anything they copied the format. Nothing wrong with going with what works, but Carson set the standard. I was 6 when Carson came on the air. It wasn't much longer than that that I was begging my parents to let me stay up and watch it. It's what the adults did. I was there when it began so I have a 1st hand perspective. ;O)
“Easy Money” And “Back To School” are Rodney Dangerfield Classic. Thanks for taking the time to dig into the classics.
Rodney Dangerfield was a comedic icon legend genius.
I think Rodney was the greatest standup comic and Curly Howard was the greatest physical comedian.
Rodney Daingerfield had a bunch of movies under his belt as well. Two of my favorite movies were Caddyshack and Back to School. He was hilarious in both. He played in many movies I have not even seen yet.
"Back to School" and "Caddyshack" were EPIC.
Don't forget _Easy Money!_
In your opening comments, Joe saying Caddyshack and Groundhog's Day are similar just hurts my soul. Now that's probably a generational statement from you and a generational reaction from me. I was a teenager in the 80's. Loving watching you guys! Keep it up.
Yeah, two completely different movies, and Groundhog’s Day was from the early 90’s.
Im old enough to remember the tonight show. I miss that talent. Always entertaining. Thanks for the memories.
I am always impressed by Rodney's delivery, the timing of it and his deadpan faces. Pretty hard to do. He was well practiced, a lot of hard work there.
Loved it when Dangerfield was on Carson when I was a kid. Notice that the guests stay on the couch when the new guests come out. I wish today’s talk shows did that. It made for some great TV moments
Check out Graham Norton. Everyone sits together
JACK PARR AND ERNIE KOVACS WERE THE EARLY LATE NIGHT GUYS. I’M 80 YEARS OLD AND LOVED THEM ALL.ROBIN WILLIAMS ALSO HAD THAT MACHINE GUN DELIVERY. LOVE WATCHING THESE RERUNS .TRY YOUR SHOW OF SHOWS WITH SID CAESAR CARL RIENER ETC.
*Paar
A fact that makes those one-liners more impressive is that the show was aired live unless it was a "Best of" episode (aka a rerun)
It was live to tape
@@chrischar9428 yes it was. But the first airing was still shown live
@@chrischar9428 Do you remember the show where an earthquake hit while the show was airing? I was pretty young so I don't remember it but my mom used to talk about it. Then on the day of the 25th anniversary show they had an earthquake in the afternoon. Early in the monologue Johnny said, "I would like to thank the state of California for the memorial tribute this afternoon.' 😂
@@eph2vv89only1waywikipedia says 1959. So I'm definitely sure by this 70s show it was taped
@@eph2vv89only1waywhich 1st airing
Rodney was a straight beast. Keep doing his Carson visits, they're all gold. I love how he does a set, then sits down and just basically continues his set sitting down. And Johnny knows he doesn't have to do anything, just throw a couple of lines here and there and watch Rodney go to work.
So True I loved both Rodney and Carson
Johnny just had to say "How are you?"" Rodney would say "Terrible" and Johnny didn't need to say anything else.
The best movie Rodney Dangerfield was in was Natural Born Killers. It was his only Drama movie he ever did and was nominated for an Oscar that he deserved but sadly didn't get. Great reactions to Rodney thanks for bringing back great memories. 👍
I saw Rodney live at the Palace Theatre in Albany NY years ago. My face actually hurt from laughing by the time the show was over.
If you want to check out something WILD by Rodney Dangerfield..... look up "Rappin' Rodney", the music video. No, I'm not joking... he actually DID a rap song, and it is something to behold.
Yes!!!
EVERYONE was watching Johnny Carson...THE late nite show at the time( for YEARS) I loved JC watched faithfully for years!!!
Don RICKLES in his prime in the 70s but was doing his act until he passed away.
I saw Don Tickles
Good review! Steve Allen was one of the first late night talk show hosts. Both David Letterman (more so) and Carson borrowed from him. Carson was also close to the Rat Pack: Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr. etc. There's a good video on TH-cam with all of them performing together. Bantering, joking and a little singing. Good stuff. Dean Martin was a very frequent guest on Carson in the 70s. A lot of smoking and drinking and good back and forth.
Some of the most hilarious stuff in Carson's material is with Don Rickles. The time Carson throws Rickles in the hot tub fully clothed in a suit and tie. And the time that Rickles broke Johnny's cigarette box when there was a guest running the show, and Carson the next day barged onto the set next door where Rickles was shooting an episode of C.P.O. Sharkey and started scolding him about it. Those two really stick out to me.
Johny Carson took over from Jack Parr.
@@louisrauzi3872 *Paar
Surprisingly, Dean Martin was not a big drinker. I believe his "bedroom eyes" made everyone think that he drank to excess.
Most of the time Dean had apple juice in his cup/glass.
You guys have no idea how fast he was with the one liners. I actually went to watch him in person. He made me laugh so hard, my side was splitting. But after getting out of the show, I could hardly remember any of the jokes, as he went through them so fast. Thanks for reviewing this one. Very funny.
He was the best. I sure miss him. Nobody can replace him. RIP.
The movement he made at the end - 'a barber hitting his kid' - was mimicking a barber stropping a straight razor before giving someone a shave.
Johnny was awesome
When they made Rodney, they broke the mold. Never be another one like him.
Johnny was the host of the Tonight Show for 30 years. It was THE late night show that the more recent ones used as a prototype. They have kept up the tradition of the host being the straight man to the comedian, who uses more of his material which wasn't used in the stand-up portion. You can see clips of Conan doing the same for people like Bill Burr, and Norm Macdonald. Since it was the only game in town for so long, it was every stand-up comic's ambition to appear on the Tonight Show, as it could kick-start your career.
The old lady laugh in the background was Carson's staff coordinator, Dorothy Wood. She always sat just behind Fred DeCordova and you could hear her laugh all the time.
Rodney Dangerfield has so much energy. It's hard to keep that momentum.
He has much less energy these days.
There will never be another like those two, absolutely money.
The King of Standup
In My Opinion
Steve Allen had his own popular show at that time, but Carson took over the Tonight Show from a guy named Jack Paar, who had the show from 1957 to 1962, when Carson took over. Carson had it from 1962 to 1992, when Jay Leno took over.
Johnny Carson was the master straight man. Watch his old shows, they are really good. Fun to see the old timers again.
I like that you include the older guy for that generational perspective
Rodney Dangerfield is in his own class tbh, he’s so under appreciated…
My two brothers and I got to meet Rodney on the beach in La Jolla in 1984. I took their picture and they were both “straightening their ties”.
Do more of him ! He was a one of a kind ! Their are many videos of him , doing much more fast moving jokes ,one after the other ! Look for any one of them with the MOST MINUTES !
Back in these days being a star REQUIRED REAL TALENT. Its so rare today that we see anyone that can just constantly steamroll the audience nonrehearsed and still be so funny. RIP rodney and johnny. These youngsters dont even know ......
Carson was king of late night. He was the perfect host.
Back to School was one of my favorite movies as a kid
Back to school and easy money are Rodney’s funniest movies
I had the absolute pleasure of seeing Rodney in person front row seats back in 1983 👏👏👏
A genius of the one-liners! Rodney always cracked me up. Carson was a perfect set-up man.
Prior to Johnny Carson, there were two previous hosts of “The Tonight Show” on NBC. Steve Allen hosted the show from 1954 to 1957. He was replaced by Jack Paar, who hosted the show from 1957 to 1961. 1962 was a year of rotating hosts, until NBC chose Johnny Carson to be the host of the program.
The beloved and well respected DON RICKLES was an insult comedian an equal opportunity one. Went after Jews, Blacks, Italians, etc. He debut in late 50s and died 2017. Did movies and TV sitcoms but probably famous for the Dean Martin Roasts where became famous. Taking jabs at Redd Foxx, Mr T, Sinatra etc. Hilarious
Mitch knows his stuff. Good recall of knowing Steve Allen was the original at this late night type of talk show (Allen was a bit more bizarre than Carson ---- more on the Letterman style of trying goofy things); then came Jack Paar, whom Johnny Carson replaced when Paar walked off his own show due to being upset about censorship issues.
Rodney could string together seemingly random punch lines after taking sharp corner after sharp corner, his timing is incredible, he moves so quick but so easy to follow...genius; and yes, people smoked cigarettes everywhere, all the time, ashtrays optional
I remember the smoky restaurants as a kid as well on airplanes. My parents hated it, but there was only so many non smoking chairs or seats available at the time. Smoking seemed to be a priority for a lot of people in the 70’s.
I saw Rodney in Philly in 1989 Roseann Barr opened for him. My sides were aching by the end of that show 😂😂😂
Red Skeleton, Redd Foxx and Johnny Carson were all great comedians. They could put on a great show and never use a cuss word! True Academia comedians, absolutely the greatest! One Rodney's great comedy movies was in 1986 called, Back to School!
I love this format and watching you guys experience these old shows that were absolutely hysterical. Let's get to the Jeffersons. But seriously I'm really enjoying this channel. 😊😊😊
Rodney was incredible in the day. I grew up watching people like Rodney and Johnny Carson. They called Carson "the King of Late Night" and he was for 30 years. ALL late night hosts today try to emulate him. You should watch "The Best of Carson" sometime. Also you should watch Mel Brooks' "Young Frankenstein" ....same time frame.
Imiss dom delouise and his crazy laughter
Me too
Love it, Dom Deloise cracking up next to him.
Look up Don Rickles, when he was on Johnny Carson with Frank Sinatra he would kneel down and kiss his ring and say Donitto Bombbatsi says hi, Frank would say would you stop that lol. Best roaster of all time. My 30 yr old son thinks he's hysterical.
Great reaction. I was going to suggest Rodney-great timing! Towards the end of his life, you could arrange to have Rodney call someone on their birthday and he would do a monologue for the recipient.
Henny Youngman was mentioned: he came up with the joke “Take my wife, please!”
I was wondering if you younger guys know what the rabbit joke was about!? When he said the rabbit didn't die it just stayed in critical condition....8:32 min.mark.
It's obvious they didn't get it.
It's time for some Richard Pryor. He is THE GOAT of comedy. When you get to the 80's you have to do all of Eddie Murphy RAW.
They ain't ready for Pryor. 😆
Henny youngman was king of the one liners
I made up a Dangerfield-style joke: "I tell ya, I just can't win. I was feelin' depressed so I went to see my shrink. I said 'Shrink, I'm feelin' depressed.' She said 'Have you been thinkin' about suicide?' I said 'No.' She said 'Well, maybe you should.'"
Rodney was also in "Back to school". Hilarious
Be advised Rodney had NO filter, none. He was savage at times.. And that is one of the reasons we loved him. He took no prisoners..... This was so long Johnny smoked on TV. Rodney's tag line was "I don't get NO respect!" That he would mess with his tie.... He was on Johnny once and he told a joke on his wife. He said we were told talk more after sex. He told Johnny she called me from the motel last night. Then he said my daughter is having a tough time getting her drivers license. "She can't get used to being in the front seat. He had NO filter!!!!! NONE.....
Rodney Dangerfield in Easy Money....so funny
You guys are so young. Enjoy
Henny Youngman was similar to Rodney.
He was known as the king of the one-liners.
“Take my wife…please!”
Rodney Dangerfield the undisputed king of one liners. R.I.P. Rodney.....
The Tonight show started out with Steve Allen then Jack Par. When he retired, Johnny took over. I was to young at the time to be able to watch Jack Par's show. I did watch Johnny from the beginning though. Even though it was past my bedtime...lol
Good move having the old guy in the middle to provide perspective for them yung'uns.
Don't know if you guys ever watched The Simpsons but in one of the 90s episodes, Rodney Dangerfield guest starred doing the voice of Mr. Burns's long lost son.
Rodney was on Carson a lot. Some of them are here on TH-cam and they are all great. And Dom Deluis was an inveterate giggler. Watch the outtakes at the end of Cannonball Run.
Omg I can't believe you have never seen this before my kids are 29&31 and have seen all this 😂
Rodney would absolutely kill on Carson. I remember watching the Tonight Show with my dad when I was just a kid. I remember Caddyshack, Easy Money, and Ladybugs off the top of my head.
I love how Dom Deluise was laughing so hard he was crying.
I was too, seeing this.
Great reaction!!! There was a lot of funny stuff there, but Rodney has a lot of better clips. Hope you do more... he's an incredible talent!!!
Agreed. I love Rodney, but not his best outing. There's one from 75, i think that is much better.
Back in the day when the tonight show was actually funny! Johnny Carson was the best! And Rodney Dangerfield was one of the greatest, along with Don Rickles!
He was kidding around with it(the heaviness) but he actually struggled with depression his whole life.
---------------Thank goodness CARSON is Still on TV now, got him on Roku & METV, and Antenna TV
Johnny Carson was the number 1 late night talk show host of all time. With comedians Johnny could make you or brake you. After Johnny there was no host that had the power or respect he had. Comedians knew if they made it to Johnny Carson they made it in comedian.
Don't forget that it was Rodney Dangerfield who had a club called Dangerfields that launched the careers of Sam Kinison, Andrew Dice Clay, Bob Nelson, Jerry Seinfeld, Bill Hicks, Rita Rudner & tons of others. He gave them their first breaks.
Before Johnny Carson, it was Steve Allen (a friend of Jack Kerouac & who had Jack on his show), and before that, it was Jack Paar. These guys had class -- not like today's Tonight Show hosts. Even Frank Zappa appeared on the Carson or Steve Allen Show playing the bicycle.
Comedian George Carlin & Louie Anderson both got their solid breaks on the Carson Show. Viewed by many people.
Great talk about the show -- entertaining. Yes, Caddyshack -- Dangerfield was terrific. A former aluminum siding salesman.
It's true, before Rodney it was Henny Youngman (who I knew) but his comedy, you had to pay attention. He was fast with his delivery and dry sense of humor, but many things could just go by you. (Henny was a former vaudeville comedian).
Rod was the BEST EVER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Is this clean enough for you TH-cam hahahahahahahah !!!!
King of the 1 liners. Saw him 2X in San Carlos (Ca) Got home and face hurt from laughing.
Soooo many jokes, didn`t need to curse to be funny. Check out Dean Martin roasts... good stuff.
He was a early 60's type comedian.......but hung in there for many years
Regarding the speed...cocaine is a hell of a drug 😂😂😂
Keep going on these. He had some great appearances on The Tonight Show.
😂😂😂😂😂
I can imagine how much fun it would have been hanging with Rodney and having some drinks or even just fishing. Hell,even being stuck in line with Rodney around would have been funny.
Rodney is a pretty good actor. saw him in "Natural Born Killers", he was scary and very disturbing. Great acting.
Rodney was amazing, some one mentioned Back to School, about him and Sam Kinison in the movie together, I swear the scene probably is no more than 5 minutes, hilarious, but also Adrienne Barbeau plays as his wife, and all the wife jokes just flow in every scene they're in together, ..also Easy Money with Joe Pesci, another crazy one,..but Caddyshack,..Rodney doesn't have scenes, they're all stand up routines,..within a movie, very funny,.you mentioned your next watch Blazing Saddles, I don't think Rodney and Mel Brooks ever did a movie, but ohh God if they had, I think the universe would've cracked, it would've been too crazy,.. so glad ya'll enjoyed, and laughed, at 50 year old jokes, incredible,..Godspeed, Peace ✌
Rodney is one thing when on TV where he does his “clean act” but if you want the real thing you have to watch one of his concerts where anything goes.
I believe that's Dom Deluise sitting to his right who is in Blazing Saddles (at the end) and parodied the Godfather in Robin Hood Men in Tights
It's the skill of being direct and authentic. It's just who he is. He doesn't really need to think as much as you may think.
Carson taped his shows at around 7:30 in the evening for showing at 11:30.
Yes! Please react to Caddyshack and other movies!
Stay tuned! - Joe
Back to School from around 82 was really funny film featuring RD.
