Not only funny jokes but how he delivered them. He's one hell of a performer.
Love the self-depreciating humor.
You know something is great when you watch the same thing 50 times and still crack up! Two legends!
Yes.so true
@@daveford7414 Agreed 100%
😂😂 same
You said it!
And even if it’s a poor quality video.
This man never failed to make me laugh and for that I am forever grateful.
Rest In Peace Rodney

Same... blessings rain onto you
Should have seen him in Vegas. Oh man. My sides would hurt. Then he'd get not so funny. Then he'd get funny again. It was great. I get no respect. Not even from my kids. Why the other day they put crazy glue in my preparation H.
He was awesome, his facial gestures we're perfect right at the moment of his punchlines, you never knew what was going to come out of his mouth but you always knew he would have you laughing your butt off
Amen
Two of the greatest American entertainers. Unsurpassed. I miss them both.
Light years better than the "UNFUNNY", GARBAGE POLITICAL-HACK late-night hosts these days!
I can watch Rodney's routines over & over again & still laugh like I saw them for the 1st time. No one like him. Johnny Carson was the best straight man ever. R.I.P. Gentlemen
I do watch his routines over and over on TH-cam. It's great if I need to pick-me-up.
Retireforless: Always great to hear from a fellow fan of Rodney. Stay healthy👍
I loved him in the movies especially Caddyshack, but his best work was on stage. Where he came out with Johnny Carson and Dom DeLuise I just got finished watching it just a few minutes ago and I sat here at 7:30 in the morning cracking up. He was a incredible person
@@michaelhowell5290 Your comment inspired me to watch this performance again. Once again tears of laughter are running down my face.😅😂🤣 Thank You!
you"re not alone
Unbelievable. He had that audience in the palm of his hand. As I’ve said before, Rodney Dangerfield may have been the funniest man in history. Thank you and Rest In Peace, sir - YOU HAVE THE WORLD’S RESPECT FOR ETERNITY.
What a GREAT post! @hayesman76 you are so spot on!
I totally agree
Agree 100%
You're forgetting Mr. Warmth,
Don Rickles.
Roddnie
He was a one of a kind he delivered with no cuss words no politics...just about his wife ,kids and the dog...oh and his doctor....endless laughs..RIP RODNEY DANGERFIELD.
The Best
All the best are gone sadly , I'm just glad I to see all of them when they were alive. Rickles , Winters and Rodney were the Kings!
And hookers.
....his.....doctor you know
Pppp

ppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp
My girlfriend and I saw Rodney in Vegas in the late 70s and we never laughed so hard. Our stomachs literally hurt when we left. Best show ever. We miss you Rodney Dangerfield. There will never be another one like him.
I saw Rodney in the Chateau DeVille in Framingham MA in 1984. What a show. He was outstanding. If anybody in the audience tried to give him the business he crushed them. There must have been 600+ people in the audience and everybody was howling with laughter.
You’re so lucky
He was one of the best comedians ever!
She's still your girlfriend? Commitment issues?
My wife and I saw him in Vegas around the same time. Hilarious!
When you stick through 9 minutes of bad tape because of the content, you know the content has got to be gold. Thanks for posting.
He never ran out of material, amazing. A very funny guy
@gherrrie Having to put that qualification sounds A.W.F.U.L (Anyone Who Figuratively Uses 'Literally')
He cut this joke at Valley Forge Music Fair in 1982. I had group sex just once. Yes, my divorce trial. The jury fucked me.
What you mean he FUNNY ...
he frequently reused jokes.
he has now
Johnny was the BEST straight man. It made Rodney even better.
“What a crowd, what a crowd!
“I’m allright now, but last week I was in rough shape...”
Loved that classic opening line!
An unforgettable opening line,R.I.P Rodney😢😂.
Rodney ! The one , the only. Nobody did it better . A true seasoned professional! Rest In Peace Rodney and thanks for all the laughs !
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
As a child of the 60's and 70's Johnny was a huge part of my (and our) entertainment. There will never be another show like it. Guests like Rodney made it even better. RIP Johnny, Ed, and Rodney.
Doc is still with us at 96 yrs old.
Yea Doc..!!!
28 years ago tomorrow was Johnny's last Tonight Show. May 22, 1992. We miss you.
CLASS
P l8
Sadly missed.
For the time dangerfield was it
What material and what delivery. They just keep coming out, one after the other. No politics, no anger, just pure humor. RIP Rodney. The greatest.
I have to get myself a red tie. So anytime I feel bad about myself. I can look down and smile and remember that the man in this video made me feel so good I would forget why I felt bad. Thanks Rodney, you were the best.
Jack Sagrafsky just to remember to adjust it at the beginning of every sentence :)
Be careful--Trump wears red ties--way down looow.
When they wanted to put his tie in the Smithsonian, Rodney told them: "It's my only tie!"
Jack Sagrafsky Trump wears a red tie because he makes you laugh too
@@Joshinwithya1973 all the while I thought that he adjusts the tie to get the next joke out 😅
GOD broke the mold after making these 2 guys. There never has been or never will be another Rodney or Johnny. I really miss both of them. Thank You for all the laughs. The World REALLY needs your gift of laughter right now 🙏 Thank You to those that keep this channel and the legacy alive 👍
Okay boomers. Rodney did wonders for comedy, but acting like it hasn't evolved because of the trail he blazed is just dinosaur thinking.
@@Merble not at all. If your a fan of Rodney you listen just because it's Rodney... I'm not a "Boomer" and I will listen to Rodney over ANY modern day comic any day of the week😎
@Tessmage Tessera you’re so right! As the old saying goes - often imitated, never duplicated......
Everyone needs to Laugh ,Red Skelton ,Robin Williams , and the imcorable Rodney ..Caddy Shack . He always made me LMAO , even when.I was down . Rodney , no matter how many times you were fortunate to see him , was always gifted to bring out a laugh when you needed it . Thanks for all the laughs . He probably is making the Lord chuckle ...
The greatest stand up comedian, ever. When his face and facial expressions alone sent you into hysterics, you know Rodney was beyond genius. Add his rapid fire jokes that built into a crescendo of unstoppable laughter and at times I could barely breathe, he was so funny. RIP, sir Rodney. No one comes close.
The level of his writing isn’t talked about enough. Phenomenal writer, and I can’t see anyone else being able to deliver that material as Rodney did. OG
I don't think Rodney wrote the majority of his material.
@samsmith4216 hmmm. I wonder. I think he did but I don't know for sure
You want to talk about your new movie? "Nah not yet".
Lmfao

Everyone else just wants to talk about there movie,he lol just wants to talk. Man I miss Rodney,,RIP great one. Thx
Hahaha!! Whatever you say!?!
Lol. Yeah, I can't even imagine a current celebrity of Rodney's caliber saying 'No, not yet', about showing a clip from their current project.
He was indeed, one of a kind. And, funny af!👍😅
The irony is that he was one of the most respected comedians, not only by the audiences, but also by his peers. The greatest one liner comedian of all time.
All respect to Rodney...but watch Groucho extemporaneously on "You Bet Your Life"
@@boostismagic Groucho is good but he is from a different era, not to my liking.
He sure got respect, but that was his catchphrase, and the way he said it!....
He's excellent. But don't forget George Burns. His cigar, and those one liners were a dream.
How is that ironic?
Rodney kills one last time. And Johnny of course was his best straight man ever.
I saw a clip of Rodney on Letterman, and David acted like a jerk the whole time. Johnny was the best, really brought the best in Rodney. As if he had to. Great chemistry.
@@lawrencetaylor4101 david acted like a jerk, no respect, rodney doesnt get no respect at all.
@Robert Patterson Truly. I hadn't seen it either and I've seen tons of Rodney on the Tonight Show. Love the "Now I have no dog!" and "I can handle my own..." jokes.
Johnny really knew how to handle Rodney & Johnny treated him with the utmost respect & genuine affection. Two legends.
ehhh if this was any other host you would shit on them for getting in Rodney's way
Bless you Rodney…you made us laugh, and that’s about the greatest anyone could do for someone…RIP
Need to release reruns of Johnny Carson instead of crap that's on now
Yeah for late night tv they should show Johnny Carson re-runs so classy and really FUNNY
Antenna TV airs Mr. Carson's show Mon - Fri at 10PM Eastern. Access the link antennatv.tv/ , and see if you are able to receive it.
Download the Pluto app. They have a Johnny Carson channel
@@alanaadams7440 now television shows are just liberals talking about politics
Idiot yells into internet on his WORK ACCOUNT, complains life isn't like it was. News at 11
3 Gentlemen the World could REALLY use right now. When they got together for some reason you knew everything was gonna be ok. Rodney, Johnny and Ed McMahon We Love and miss you.
They definitely made the world a more comfortable & fun place to live.
well that and comedians who make us think
Veteran Patriot lets not forget don reckless as well
Don rickles

His delivery was always killer even when you hear him throw in old material his delivery gets you every time.He is a Legend.
She went out and got a second opinion. LOL. Rodney Dangerfield was the king of comedy.......
R.I.P MR DANGERFIELD
R.I.P MR CARSON. TWO GREAT COMEDIANS..........
I didn't even know they were SICK!
There's no limit to just how great Rodney is... A master of comedy... The number one comedian of all time... Even when he is crying 😭 he is funny 😂...
"I was a ugly baby. When I was born the doctor slapped my mother."
When I was born I was so ugly after the doctor slapped me the nurses got a few in to. Doctor gave me to my mother she said ' you did everything you could' Doctor said yes but he lived anyway.
He said he was breastfed by his father!
I was such an ugly baby - my parents didn't receive a birth certificate.
Instead they got a bill for vandalism !
One day, in a sharp turn, I fell of my bike.
I got arrested for throwing trash !
@@joeyjamison5772 He said he asked his mother "Why didn't you breast-feed me?" She said: "Oh, I thought we'd be good friends instead."
I was an ugly baby. I was so ugly, my Mother breast fed me through a straw...
The master of continuous one liners ! No one was better ! RIP Mr Dangerfield & total respect to you !
What a comic legend, just amazing here, didn't lose a step. Carson just the perfect straight man !!
Me being an old fan of the "Tonight Show starring Johnny Carson," i remember this one in particular; the ending was brilliant. No one knew where Rodney was going with this before the commercial break.
I miss Rodney so much! I have watched these clips over and over. They never get old.
Every time I watch a clip on this channel... the more I miss Rodney! R.I.P!!!
Same
I laughed so hard I cried. Loved the class of all those guys.
But thankfully we have these clips like this to always watch.
I can never get too much of Rodney's appearances! R.I.P.!
@@cliffordscharff8536 Oh by the way Clifford "Cliff", when I saw your name I just had to put my two cents in. Talking to someone that has the same name as myself is kinda weird, but not as weird as talking to myself! LOL! 😆 Just so you know I never answer back. 🧓
He dint need any bad words to make people laugh...great comedy...
There is a DVD of some of his later TV work and he was swearing a lot in it. It just did not seem right at all. When he was swearing it was the most unfunny and uncomfortable thing I have seen.
He was foul in his live shows and club.
He just cleaned up for TV. Lots of great comedians use dirty words. No need to cry.
@@michaelmodes7438 cry never come on im from L.A real gs youre the one mad... I Just said what i knew
@@handsolo1209 good to know...
That was most comedians back in. We were wholesome.
Rodney you leave me with no alternative than to laugh. Thank you so much.
There's a video on TH-cam of Rodney Dangerfield on David Letterman's show but David Letterman kept interrupting the flow of jokes. Rodney D pauses before the punchline and Johnny Carson knows to keep quiet during that pause. David Letterman didn't know and tried to come in with his own wit - it's called 'treading on the jokes' and it ruins the surprise of a funny line. Johnny Carson seems to be doing nothing as an interviewer but in fact he is trusting the comic to fill the silence with something worth waiting for. That's a skill which many TV presenters are too anxious and too self-promoting to nurture.
Jimmy Fallon is the worst of the worst. He constantly interrupts guests.
And that ..was just one reason why Letterman didn't succeed Carson. Letterman hates being the passenger and needs some sense of control. The best thing any talk show host can do (as we see) is sit back and let the guest flow.
Yes , I think you nailed it. Lettermans' style worked with some , Norm McDonald for instance, but not Rodney so much. Of course Carson set the bar ....still does.
Thanks for the forensic analysis.
He was a comedian himself he knew the timing
At one point Johnny really wanted him to talk about Dr. Vinnie Boombatz one last time. Johnny always liked those Doctor jokes.
And his lawyer...Nicky Pumpanese!
Well nothing's more important than your health.
Rodney and Johnny, like Led Zeppelin...I will never see greatness like this again. I’m just glad that I was around to see them!😉👍❤️
Wow, exactly!!! 😄
U had me till Led Z....oh, well. God Bless Johnny & Rodney! Led Z, too, if he's passed.
God bless Rodney Dangerfield. Arguably the best comedian ever!
No argument about it
His crying at 7:50 thru 8:10 really made me cry myself. 😢 ❤ Deep down he did not wanted the show to end. Rest in peace Rodney, your legacy will absolutely never be in vain. Mad respect for you 👏
Five nights a week, 52 weeks a year and virtually zero politics. That's the way it was when people had talent.
Zero? Did you ever watch The Tonight Show?
The opening monologue often had references to the Prez and govt.
It was life, most weren't too upset by it.
Was a vent.
@@boostismagic I said "virtually" zero in the sense that while zingers at the President of the day were indeed common, it was NOTHING compared to the entire monologues of Colbert, Kimmel and Myers leveled at the President five nights a week for three years. Massive difference between a couple Carter or Reagan jokes and a fifteen minute hate-filled diatribe EVERY NIGHT for three years. And the biggest sin - not even funny.
@@news603redux Totally agree.
@@news603redux back in the day, Johnny knocked every politician equally. The current crop of late night lightweights are dem party operatives and leftist shills.
@@news603redux Well neither is the half-wit buffoon that's running your country right now. Oh I know those jerks are obsessed with him but they've never had an orange orangutan right in front of them before who is truly the gift that keeps on giving...
Rodney tells the simplest jokes and he always has me laughing out loud. I love Rodney.!!!
Impeccable timing! No one better.
If I'm going based on timing, I have to put Rickles and Carlin in the same league.
The funniest comedian ever. He is missed everyday..love you Rodney R.I.P.
Rodney, on fire as usual! There will never be another one like him!!!
Or Carson
Every single time Rodney was on Johnny’s show he had him cracking up. They were both legends, that’s for sure.
OMG I remember laying on my grandparents living room floor the night this episode was played oh, I remember laughing so hard and my grandmother who was sitting on the couch and my sister with her she said later that she didn't expect me to just crack up the way I did. He was awesome, to me one of the funniest comedians of his time. Thank you TH-cam forgiving someone like me and many others the ability to watch someone who we grew up with who has so many incredible memories
LOL, One of the best comedians in the world one of a kind. Watched all his moves and still do never tyre. RIP old mate your legacy lives on.
Not only was Rodney Dangerfield a great comedian, he gave a lot of young comedians their start. He was a party animal too.
I showed my grandkids the "Rappin Rodney" video and they couldn't stop replaying it.
Rodney's comedy is timeless. He'd definitely be a star today just as big or even bigger. Rodney was always on...always. Hilarious .
I don’t know with all the woke snowflakes out there they would try to cancel him
@@jimmyolsen5897 It's not politically correct to be funny anymore, or to display any kind of talent...
@@DanEBoyd let’s go Brandon
Much love for both. Miss the old days...
Rodney’s pretend crying just killed me, especially when he pointed at Ed McMahon. “You know what they say Johnny, it’s lonely at the top....when there’s no one at the bottom!”
What a funny man. Miss you Rodney.
PS he always joked that he never had luck with women. In real life, he had a beautiful wife named Joan.
For about 10 seconds he had me going with that crying. I think it's a thing that great comics or comedic actors can do by making you cry and laugh at the same time.
Someone help...couldn't make out on audio what Rodney's joke was when he was fake crying...like 7:55 in. Please help.
@@andredelmontdelmont4663 "Y'know I feel I'm gonna choke."
I was walking down the beach, when I suddenly realized I was coming up behind this voluptuous blond woman, wearing an incredible bikini that she filled out perfectly. She had all the curves and the sexy sway in her walk.... I thot she was out walking with her dad... But as I passed them and make the testosterone mandated look over the shoulder, I glanced real quick at the man, and it was Rodney Dangerfield.... Suddenly I was more star struck with Rodney than the blond.... That's how great he was.... He just nodded and said, "How ya doing?" He knew, that I knew, that he knew that I had sped up to catch them walking for a specific purpose... and he was ok with that... What a man! Damn was she gorgeous!!!!
Small clarification: he said “…when there’s no one ON the bottom.” That was the joke. It was a euphemism for sex. ;) Or at least that’s how I interpreted it.
Pure comedic Genius! There will never , ever be another Rodney Dangerfield! His jokes are timeless and his delivery is perfect. Johnny Carson brought out the best in Dangerfield!
It's a treat to be able to watch this over and over.
Saying to Bernadette Peters : "How you doing baby?" he's quite the charmer!
He called Ed baby, too. haha. I caught that the second time.
The man was a legend. Amazing timing.
Saw him twice in Atlantic City. Best show ever.
Man, Rodney was on fire. Great clip.
I can listen to his jokes over and over again and I still laugh!
Now I got no dawg 😄😄
NOBODY ADJUSTS THEIR TIE LIKE RODNEY!!! 👍 RIP RODNEY!!! COMIC GENIUS.
This is my favorite appearance. His jokes were always a 10. But his delivery here was just something special.
The funniest man ever. He was in a class of his own. No one came close. RIP Rodney. Miss you.
It was always a special night when you tuned into Carson at 11:30 and found out Rodney was a guest that night. Wife and I been married 26 years. Sept. 3 1992 was our first date. We saw Rodney with Robbin Williams, Jim Carrey, Bernie Mac and Pauli Shore in Anaheim for the Tribute to Sam Kinison. It was being shot for HBO. Not a bad first date. We sat on the isle that Rodney came down and he put his arm around my wife before he got to the stage. She was so happy. I haven’t been able to top that one. You can watch it on TH-cam Sam Kinison tribute for HBO. I watched it 25 yrs. later. We were in the fourth row. Couldn’t see us. Too bad. My Girls would have liked that..
A master of Comedy. We miss you
May his sole rest in peace. There is no more good times like this. Rodney was one of the best.🙏
Sole 🐟 ..?
Rodney came up with new material for this show. He hadn't guested on The Tonight Show in quite a while and with the new zingers Rodney was showing great respect for Johnny. With his new movie to plug Rodney could easily have showed up and re-used stuff. Great respect taking time to come up with these new ones!
RIP to both legendary comedians!
This has to be one of the top 5 best appearances of any guest on any show in TV history!
As of this writing, 68 people don't recognize comedic genius when they see it. Rodney was razor sharp and hilariously funny.
A truly funny guy...timing, delivery, wit, amusing...thank you Rodney
This guy was GREAT!! I will always miss him.
What a comedic tsunami! Quick witted, intelligent humor...no one like him, give him Respect.
I remember when Johnny was getting close to retirement and so many celebrities were teary-eyed during their last visit. Johnny had done so much for so many careers. Rodney caught me off guard for a moment when he changed gears and talked about May 22nd (Johnny’s last day). He really sold it and even the audience got quiet - until he lowered the boom. Great last appearance for Rodney, and I know Johnny and the audience loved it.
"I can't get no respect." One of the greatest lines in stand-up comedy. It's right up there with Henny Youngman's line, "Take my wife... please." Rodey's brand of self-deprecating humor endeared him to everyone. When he appeared anywhere, you knew you would laugh.
He got his act from Henny. Watch them back to back.
I have to agree. Henny Youngman and Rodney Dangerfield, two of the best live shows you could possibly see. They new how to take command of an audience and work them into complete hysterics. The warm up comedians never stood a chance when one of these two were headlining.
@@motogp001 Speaking of warm-ups... I never knew that programs like Carson's Tonight Show would have comedians come out before the shows started taping and "warm up" the audience for Carson.
Carson mentioned it once when Buddy Hackett had been out and the program started with the audience in hysterics. Apparently Buddy been treating them to portions of his Vegas act which was not for prime time.
Henny Youngman?
@@MichaelGunner123 You don't know him?
This clip couldn't come at a better time. Thank you for posting. B safe.
The guy was just brilliant .
Class act. Miss you Rodney. You get tons of respect from me sir.
At his age, he could still make the audience roar with laughter. It's very tough to do but Rodney was a huge talent for many years. I guess you all know that well. I miss Rodney and love to watch the old clips, reminds me of the good old days watching Carson as a teenager with my parents (when I was lucky enough to stay up a little later). Nowadays there isn't a show made that parents and kids watch together - they will never have the chance to reminisce like I do with old tv shows, they spend so little time together compared to the generations before.
Ya Brian both these guys are irreplaceable.good old days.
The GOAT of comedians! He's so good you start to laugh as soon as he comes out & fidgets with his tie!
I absolutely loved this guys comedy. May Gods perpetual light shine on your soul Mr. Dangerfield.
The funniest man that ever walked this earth. I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU. A VERY KIND MAN. GENUINELY ALWAYS GIVING. RIP ❤️
You'll never see a talent and purity in comedy like Rodney. He was the last generation to love America and yet able to joke about himself
He was the best! There will never be another Rodney.
Can never be topped. Great standup, and amazing movies. Thanks 🎉
Damn he had me laughing. Johnny never got to ask him about his doctor Vinnie Boom Botts.
Did Rodney Dangerfield and Don Rickles have the same doctor? Mirror image initials by the way.😂B.W.
The joke goes, Dr. Vinnie Bom Botts told Rodney to stop chewing gum and start smoking. LMAO !!
He tried twice.
Johnny should tell Rodney about his physician, Dr. Mandrake Kurvey.
Rodney was hysterical without being vulgar. Its was almost like listening to your dad's best friend without them knowing. I miss Rodney. RIP❤🙏
Amazing intelligence. Miss Rodney. Unfortunately, in today's times, many younger folks will miss his point of humor and humility. Great guy.
Rodney and Johnny. Two absolute masters of their respective crafts. Rodney with his one liners and masterful deliveries, Johnny being one of the best straight men in comedic history. Other times Johnny would just sit there and let his guests shine, not stealing their thunder. RIP guys. You brought a lot of hilarity to an otherwise insane world. Man, how we could use you guys now!
Love how Johnny plays the straight man and sets up Rodney. And Rodney hits it out of the park.
What a legend. A true legend. I am so glad that I got to see him in person! One of t he few celebs so really really miss!
“She ran away with my best friend. Now I have no dog!” Best punchline I’ve heard in ages!!! Loool
I want to thank all the people who filmed, recorded and hopefully play this over and over. Truly ge
They died 3 months apart, Rodney died October 5, 2004; Johnny died January 23, 2005.
"When I say it's down 40 degrees, I'm not talking about the weather."
Some zingers in here I'd never heard before, wow
I'd never heard them either.
The one I don't remember was playing the video backwards about the hooker. I almost fell out of my chair when I heard it!
Some I'd missed too. He was the best.
Rodney had not been on Johnny's show for quite some time, And so he came up with a bunch of new material out of respect, and I have always been grateful for his love of comedy, and his friend
Rodney kills it every time. They'll never be another person like him
There will never be or duplicated Rodney Dangerfield in a 100 years 😙😚☺.
I adored him. Such a gifted comedien.
Rodney was the best. Still cracks me up every time.
