I’m 69 years old now and Johnny with Rodney was hilarious every time. I miss these guys. The best. RIP!
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
I'm a year older, and I also miss them, but we DO have these clips - looks like somebody in our age group has been busy putting them together.
How can you miss them when there's TH-cam?
I was flying Lear Jet charters in the early 1980's and I flew Rodney Dangerfield and his family twice. One flight was from the east coast to Illinois and the second time we flew him to Las Angeles.
We used to leave the bar early just to watch this.
2023 and we’re still laughing Rodney. You are missed and loved ❤️❤️❤️
So so true !!!! 😂😂😂
He was great. Where are the great comedians of today? They all have to be woke to succeed too bad
He is so funny and gets no respect.
@@johnreidy2804 idgit
Yes indeed. In these times lately to watch and listen to Rodney Dangerfield is like therapy. I get to laughing so much my eyes tear-up! Thanks again Rodney!!!

What a performance. He was non-stop and Carson couldn't stop laughing. Making people laugh is a very respectable profession..
I know what you mean, but when you ask many women what they like best in a man, and they say, sense of humor, but then you ask them what profession he should have, stand-up comic, doesn't even show in the top fifty.
@@drydogg Just about everyone I meet loves my sense of humour, except my wife. Hmm!
Every time Rodney was on Carson he was great. But this is one of the best appearances.
Disagree. Comedy is not “a great profession”. Laughter comes from genuine shared perspective on humanity. And it’s much harder than milking lurid instinctive survival-related emotions like Greek tragedy or Hamlet, or Wicked or Les Miserables or law and order SVU. Comedy is much harder to pull off than tragedy. and at least equally great
Laughter does the soul good
There will never be another like Rodney, what a class act. RIP.
Carson too man, imagine if it was Jimmy Kimmel 'interviewing' him here instead.
He was the best , comedies today sick.
L@@gerryn2
Great comedian , but judging on some recent blooper/behind the scenes videos , not such a pleasant human being. Kicking down at people who he judged to be replacable ( bartender in a sketch etc. )
That was the best 10 minutes I've spent in a very long time. I feel alive again. Rodney was the man and Johnny was the King!
Classic!
Legends...
Well said...
The fact that you subtly hear Johnny Carson in the background laughing just makes it that much better.
I grew up watching Jonny. A class act. He allows celebrities to be themselves and for that he got the most out of them. Every time I hear the theme music the 70’s child in me smiles.
Did you mean to say Ed McMahon in the background? I find that hilarious as well.
And don't forget Ed
I really miss Johnny's show. He had some GREAT guests of the time. Remember Karnack the Magnificent I believe it was.
Sure Don't get that high level of comedy now from late night TV.
THAT'S subtle??
This might be the best ever Rodney appearance on Johnny's show. Home run after home run for eight minutes.
There will never be anything this good again... I remember watching Carson in the 70s and 80s with my grandmother late at night... It was the best times ever... Now it's a sad memory...
Sounds like a happy memory, don’t get it twisted :)
Me too, my grandmother always did laundry at the laundromat late at night and I'd help her and watch Carson ❤ She was such a hard worker ❤
I'll never get tired of these clips. Johnny was the best. He could interact with anyone, but when a great comic was on, it was fantastic. RIP gents, you are missed.
Remember when the show was 90 minutes, and he would have more serious guests, such as scientists, authors, etc? Also had some great magicians on, always one of Johnny's many interests.
@@briane3657 Yep. From entertainers to politicians, subject matter experts to regular folks, he could talk to them all and treated them all like they were important and interesting. He was the best.
I am not American - a Canadian - so I am kinda wondering, is it an act of these constant touching of the tie and rapid talking? Or is it something else?
@@waryaawariiri1812 I think it's a nervous habit.
IMO.
@@waryaawariiri1812 Yes, that's part of his act; he always did that on the Carson show.
In 1989, I saw Rodney when he was touring the country. He did a 90 min set that was, to this day, one of the funniest shows I have ever seen. There were about 3K-5K of us in the audience, and all of us were in pain by the end of the show. He absolutely killed that night. And it was all 1-liners, which makes it even more incredible.
Man that would have been something! What an experience
That was about the time I seen him.Hectook suggestions from.the audience. I yelled out group sex amd Ridney came back, your sister and five of your friends.
He's like the old-time comedy version of Jeff Beck and Eddie Van Halen!!
He was a gem 👍🏻
Saw him at Caesars Palace Las Vegas back in 1985. I'm still laughing my ass off. One of the funniest shows I have ever seen to this day.
Both Rodney and Johnny were terrific. A great time seeing them again.
Spectacular
What a performance. He was non-stop and Carson couldn't stop laughing. Thank you Mr. Dangerfield for sharing your tremendous talent with the world..
When late night TV was worth staying up for! Sure miss those days.
Gutfeld is the new king of late night? What a joke! Johnny drew 11 to 12 million per night. Gutfeld is lucky if he gets 3 million!
@@ken6771 I can't figure out who you're talking about
Now all the late-night shows are unwatchable: non-stop iue-signalling and TDS and pushing 'the message'
Johnny got way more; other than gutfeld, the others get their relatives.
It was wonderful, Mikey!
Rodney was at the top of his game here. A joy to watch, even 45 years later.
We need more Rodney's nowadays. He was one of a kind and a real comedian. RIP Mr DANGERFIELD
Rodney was always good. But was he ever on fire on this edition of the Tonight Show!
I ALWAYS gave Rodney Dangerfield the highest respect that one could ever give anyone!
Rest In Paradise Rodney and Johnny. 😇😇🙏🙏
And…Ed too. 😇🙏
All the times I've seen Rodney this is probably one of his best sets ever! Saw him live at the sunrise theater in fort Lauderdale and My stomach and face hurt from laughing for 4 days after that! it's dangerous seeing him live because he doesn't give you time to catch your breath between one joke and another and it's just a constant one long laugh until it's almost like a dry heave! Rodney was beautiful...
"...a kid with an accent playing with my feet." Seriously, never heard that one before and I'm STILL laughing.
He knew more jokes than anybody. What a wit! Great sense of humor.
I saw him there too with my mom. She said who us this Rodney. She laughed so hard.
when he's doing his shtick he's got this constant sort of agitated body motion going - one begins to even wonder if he was ever in a relaxed state - because he'd just keep that up constantly when doing his jokes such that it just comes off as his "normal" state of being
@boblozaintherealworld3577 That's the one that got me as well. I genuinely laughed out loud and said, "What the hell?"
When I lived in Vegas on Eastern and Russell, Redd Foxx was my neighbor across the street and became a friend. I also got to see Rodney's last live show at the Tropicana and talked with him after briefly.He had no issue with chatting with folks and was a nice man, as was Redd. 🙏🙏
Redd was also one of a kind. I'm a little too "young" to have heard much of his stand-up but just watch any re-run of 'Sanford & Son'. He brought it home every time...
@@boblozaintherealworld3577 Redd's off tv shows were some of the dirtiest shows you could ever see. He made you roar all night.
@@charlesstockford6003 So I've heard.
That's so cool!
You Got to Wash Your Ass...😂 Live Album Red Foxx
So I'm at it again sitting here receiving my therapy watching Rodney with Johnny and I'm almost crying with laughter---works every time. Thank you Rodney!!!
Caddyshack. Easy Money. Back to School. Comic genius and not a one would be made today. Pure genius. His timing was second to none.
Oh it looks good on you though.
Him and Ted Knight OMG😂😂😂😂😂!!!
And Sam Kinnison too!
Johnny Carson, was not only the greatest
Late night host, he also had on his show
the best comedians. Watching them make
Johnny Carson, laugh, was great. Just
the best.
This must have been just after his "No Respect" album came out. I recognize the pacing. Only because I've been listening and re-listening to it for years. Doesn't matter if you've heard the joke before, it gets funnier every time.
What made Johnny so great was he would sit back and let his guests shine and he was the greatest set-up man ever whether it was a word, question or simply the tone of his voice, he would lead his guests, especially Rodney and Robin Williams, right where they wanted to go.
@@sportsfan5548 It's especially evident in this video, Johnny was a great set up man.
Making people laugh is a very respectable profession.
I'd be surprised if he hadn't made a joke on his deathbed.
I think when Rodney says "What do you wanna do now?" near the end of this clip is the nearest thing to the REAL Rodney I've ever seen.
@@eloiseharbeson2483 Rodney's Epitaph: There goes the neighborhood.
Whaddya mean!? Every time I leave the house people are laughing at me! 😉
Eddie Murphy says he worked a club as a kid where Rodney was working and he and Rodney used urinals that stood right next to each other. Neither spoke a word. Years later they both worked a different club and the same situation occurred. As Rodney was zipping up he turned to Eddie, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Who knew?"
Thank you Mr. Dangerfield for sharing your tremendous talent with the world.
if he didn't he'd starve
Rodney said when he was struggling as a comedian he sold aluminum house siding.
Dangerfield was a genius. He literally had thousands of jokes.
The undisputed king of one liners.
He probably had to do that all day at the house to stay in character to remember his one liners, it must have been insanity
read someplace that it took him months to write the jokes for his appearance on the Tonight Show
@@inhibited44 Is that right? It's hard to write jokes. I think stand up comedians are some of the smartest people on the planet.
Rodney had me laughing so hard, it brought tears to my eyes. The tears are also from the wonderful talent of Johnny Carson. It’s just amazing what a class act he really was. Super talented! I’m grateful I got to grow up in this era. The late night of today is horrendous. I wouldn’t give any of the current late night hosts a minute of my time. RIP Johnny.
My thoughts Exactly.
I'm sure the current late night hosts are devastated that you didn't "grown up" with them.
@@mackdaddyg321 Hey, thanks for pointing out the spelling error. Even though the current late night show ratings are in the toilet, i’m sure your still a big fan.
You're spot on with this comment.
I SO agree with this. Fallon is the worst with his over exaggerated laughter. I'm 64 and watched Johnny when I was a kid. Amazing how Rodney just had all those jokes ready to go. He was wonderful.
Two of the masters of their craft at work here. Carson the absolute king of late night and Dangerfield the king of stand-up
Carson was the best
He didn't curse or tell jokes at the expense of others by name. Either self-effacing, or his family without naming them. I am pretty sure his family was ok with him referencing them as he did. His ability to catalog and recall hundreds if not thousands of jokes is pure genius and a gift.
self-deprecating
What BS...his version of Russian Roulette was so off color no one would tell it today. And no one swore on TV in those days. You make him sound like Doris Day..
But he was funny...
@@gregorywhite9095it is off colour, isn't it? And it paints him in a pretty bad light, doesn't it? That's exactly the joke, he presents himself as a self-pitying, sad, pathetic, loser with embarrassing health problems, and who makes terrible choices. That's the character of Rodney Dangerfield, a bad person who blames everybody else for his problems. That's what makes him funny.
Apparently, he did curse a blue streak in the clubs. Jerry Seinfeld said he felt like it took away from his act.
Heard he didn’t have a healthy relationship with his wife at the time
Good to know that there are still some Rodney jokes around that I hadn't heard yet!!🤣
Right lol
Yeah, That's what I noticed. Some keepers!
the kid playing with his feet! never that anywhere from anyone.
"I'm so ugly when I went for a proctology exam, the Doctor stuck his finger in my mouth!" I just recently heard that one and it almost killed me!
All I can say is wow. 10 minutes of non-stop one liners, and all of them funny. No one could do this better than Rodney.
You haven't heard me... No respect..
I'm so glad that I grew up with Rodney and Johnny Carson. So awesome.
Dangerfield was the best, still has me in stitches watching this clip 40+ years later.
A REAL comedian! Not the trash we have now. Rodney was a true craftsman of comedy.
I could have watched hours of this. What legends.
Could never get tired of my daily dose of Rodney Dangerfield...RIP
Definitely my favorite stand-up comedian of all time...a laugh a second with him...no other can duplicate....loved that guy
When Johnny laughed the world laughed . God bless Johnny and Rodney
I was 13 when Johnny retired, and I cried through his farewell episode. I cried just now, when I went to look up what year that was (1992). I wasn't a lazy kid, and spent most of the daytime hours outside. Having had a deeper admiration for a person I never met, than with most of those with whom I've interacted, I can't overstate the tremendously endearing power of humor.
I miss Johnny and Rodney.
About the same age here and I thank my parents for introducing me and my brothers to all the great entertainers. So many of them are gone but the memories and characters they created live on.
Actually it originally aired in 1979!!!
@@tomwashingtonjr848 Hey Tom!!!
I was 15 and cried as well when watching his farewell episode.
@@tomwashingtonjr848 I think he was talking about Johnny's farewell show (not the above Rodney show).
The skill that it takes to be this on-point is remarkable! Unreal how ready he was for JC, which was the biggest show at night. Great to see him so on point and JC so quiet.
Those were the days! Johnny Carson’s Tonight Show and all the classic Hollywood guests and comedians! Great times!
The guy is like a machine gun. One joke after the other in rapid succession. Really incredible talent.
Yeah but he touches his tie too much 😂 Rodney mannerism comes obviously with the job 😳👻
@@studiobencivengamarcusbenc5272 never noticed it until you pointed it out. Take a chill pill
@@studiobencivengamarcusbenc5272 "Touches his tie too much"? Out of all that, that's your take? Geez!
watching rodney stressing and sweating hoping his punchlines land, yet he had everyone in the palm of his hand.
You add hole njow
One of the funniest things Rodney ever said was just before he passed when he said if the heart surgery he was about have was successful he would be out of the hospital in a couple of days but if it wasn't successful he would be out in a couple of hours. He always caught you off guard with his humor. RIP Johnny and Rodney...
I remember that too. His answer to "how long are you going to be in the hospital?" was If things go real well I should be out in a couple weeks, if they go poorly, I'll be out in a couple hours.
Jay Leno said that when Rodney had his debilitating stroke and was in the hospital he went to visit him and Rodneys wife told Jay "He can't respond but he can hear you and he knows you're here... let him hold your finger". So Jay put his finger in Rodneys hand and Rodney squeezed it....
It was then that Jay leaned in and whispered "Rodney... that's not my finger..."
He said you could see Rodney visibly shaking he was laughing so hard inside.
Funny men are funny men... right to the end.
I miss Rodney he knew how to make us laugh,and we could all use more laughter in this world. Thanks Rodney.
No one like him ever. Still makes me laugh.
Llq
That was one of the best Tonight Show's with Rodney. Had me rollin'. RIP gentlemen.
This may well have been Rodney's best material ever! He was, clearly, the funniest comedian ever!
I'm glad the movies finally took notice of him and made some very funny comedies with Rodney.
I think in terms of stand up comedy, he was the funniest, the best. People usually ascribe the GOAT to Richard Pryor, and he was great, but no one was as funny as Rodney. And yup, he still doesn't get no respect.
Although some of those jokes didn't age well
@@22espec I think they'll always be hilarious.
I don't think u aged so well. Ty
Nobody better than Rodney.
Well except for Don Rickles
@@241sail6 I agree but they did opposite versions; Rickels made fun of others, Rodney made fun of himself. They were so good and iconic that I wonder what a modern comedian with that gift would have to do to not be accused of stealing. Jimmy Carr is the closest, but I think is just like the Beatles for professional comedians.
Rodney is a legend, his timing is amazing.
When I was in my early 20's, I played the album No respect (flip side "Son of No Respect) over and over. I memorized the jokes and have used them at parties for over 50 years. People never tire of Rodney's one liners. Thanks for the countless laughs!
Brilliant🎉😂❤
Rodney was introduced then he did his stand up and then when he was done he went over to Johnny and then did his sit down routine. Pure Gold!
Johnny was the Best Straight Man!
Was thinking the same thing
What a performance. He was non-stop and Carson couldn't stop laughing
No profanity, just provocative humor.
Man this guy was on fire….
I speak for many people when I say….
We miss him…
Rodney did so much to help up and coming comedians. He gave a chance to Jerry Seinfeld, Rosanne Barr, Louie Anderson, Andrew Dice Clay and soooooo many more the list is endless. Not only was he a comedic genius in the telling of jokes but finding those who are also comedians too.
Classic Rodney ...
Simply hilarious ...
Never a dull moment ...
🤣🤣🤣 "If you see me jogging, it means the laxative is working." DAMN THAT'S FUNNY!!! I don't know about anyone else, but I miss Rodney.
You and me both. (I dated a girl so ugly, once I took her to the top of the Empire State Building and airplanes started to attack her!).
This is a new one hadn’t seen it before, thank you. When I went to UCLA in the late seventies my roommates and I used to roll around on the floor laughing watching Rodney on Johnny Carson and we weren’t even smoking anything.
This was one of Rodney's BEST nights on "The Tonight Show." I really miss him, Johnny, Ed and the rest of the gang on that show when night time talk shows were VERY funny unlike today.
We were blessed to witness this on our journey of life..... 🙏🏼
@@hblee88 You got that right and well said!
No matter how many times I watch, and listen, to Rodney Dangerfield .. I crack up. But seeing him live at Dangerfield's THE BEST!
In my opinion Rodney D. is one of the original kings of comedy. His standup was top notch and his movies were hilarious as well. Unmatched talent and timing with that never ending condescending tone makes him one of the undisputed greats. Really miss this guy. He gets mountains of respect from me!!!
Loved him in "Back To School".
Read his autobiography. Hysterically funny.😊
....... that's the Ugliest hat I've ever seen ! Whaddya' get with that hat a bowl of soup ........???
Great comment 👍
The best
Saw Rodney live, I laughed so hard my stomach muscles hurt the next day. Great, great comic!
I saw him front row too back in the early 80s
I'm 54 and omg how I miss those days! Ed McMahon's laugh in the background was always one of my favorite things!
I never get tired of Rodney 😂
As on fire as Rodney is here, Johnny had me in stitches as well with the way he quietly kept playing along, not to mention every time he busted out laughing. 🤣
My wife and I saw Rodney a the MGM in Vegas 2001. It was non stop jokes one after another. Then he’d stop, and you’d hear a little voice cue (his wife) and off he’d go again. He was the classic one liner.
These Johnny and Rodney skits are truly funny; I’ve never heard Rodney talking so much about doing the thang. RIP Legends of the Night Talk Show
The greatest of all time, and nobody else really comes close. Nobody else could do what he did, in the way he did it.
Who could forget Rodney Dangerfield in Caddyshack.... what a joy it was having this guy around.
10 out of 10....every time. What a skill
I have seen this segment many times, and I still laugh, as if I have heard it for the first time!! Rodney Dangerfield was in a Class all his own!!!
Absolute genius. Comedic timing was the best
johnny knew his role as the host so well. he knew when to be the sidekick and when he needed to be the star.
Yep. When Rodney and Rickels were on, Johnny just let them go wherever they wanted to go. He just tagged along for the ride.
Practically every time Rodney was on the show, he had Johnny cracking up. Icon of comedy!!
A great bunch of real guys . You all are missed. R.I.P.
The facial expressions on Rodney are half the act. Brilliance!
Some newer material than I've seen on other Carson shows. This is one of Rodney's best performances!
The "falling off" joke was the funniest in this clip. Classic comedy from a classic comedian. RIP Jacob Cohen - you are missed.
I consider myself lucky to be able to see Rodney live at a performance back in the 70's.
If you think it was easy sitting across from Dangerfield when he was performing… Think again. Johnny Carson knew exactly how to keep time with Rodney and played it perfect every time.
Several jokes in this set I haven't heard before. Hilarious. Great post.
My favorite Rodney joke was: "My wife wanted to have sex in the backseat...she wanted me to drive."
hahahahahaha
I think his best joke is the one about him saying that he and his wife only smoke after sex. Then he adds that he has the same pack now since 1975 but what bothers him is that his wife is up to 3 packs a day. That brought down the house.
@@nicolosito Yeah. I have heard that one. Good stuff.
One of my favorites was he bought a used car and was driving it home and he turned around and saw his wife's dress laying on the back seat.
One of my favorites is one where he and his wife went to a hotel and Rodney asked the bellhop to grab his bag. The bellhop started feeling up his wife lol
He's a legend at what he does. I could be watching this over and over, and I would still laugh my ass off.
Of all the videos of Rodney routines on the Tonight Show, this one is the definitive Rodney - a great collection of some of his all-time best jokes.
It's impressive to come up and remember all those jokes. Rodney Dangerfield was unmatchable.
it has been a bad day I woke up this morning and picked up my shirt and a button fell off picked up my briefcase the handle fell off I am afraid to go to the bathroom...that just had me cracking up...these guys were true entertainers
Comics are using that one today.
I heard a few comics say about not going bathroom fear of dickie falling off.
Rest in peace Rodney..... we miss you!! ❤✝️❤
Rodney was truly a master of his craft!! Once I start laughing I can't stop !! 🤣 R.I.P.
Watching Rodney laughing at Johnny laughing was the best.
the joke about his daughter getting pregnant after eating chicken is one i've never heard before and is now possibly my new favorite Rodney Dangerfield joke.
“I wake up and there’s a kid with a strange accent playing with my feet.” That knocked Johnny out.
I think that was new for a lot of us.
It's the only joke/one-liner in this video I didn't get. I'm guessing it's some cultural reference from before my time? Can you explain it?
@@Falcon-um7vo I think it was just a random situation that highlighted his drinking. Made me think of the Hangover movie.
@@MistaDobalina Nah, there's got to be more to it than that for them to laugh that much about it.
There will absolutely never ever in the history of ever be another Rodney Dangerfield…the best one-liner comic in the business…RIP Triple Lindy…
Two of the greatest entertainers of all time!
We still have to thank Rodney for his stand up, and for maintaining his eye for talent, and giving great comedians like Sam Kinison their big breaks
There Will Never Be Another Comedian, Like Rodney Dangerfield. 😆
So true
It seemed like he wasn’t even human

It's incredible that these titans of entertainment are gone...it seems like just yesterday we were watching these guys and laughing our asses off. It always slayed me when Rodney was on his stand-up roll you could hear Johnny guffawing just as loud as the audience. Rodney was one of a kind...always performing non-stop...
A life well lived... making so many laugh, smile and happy for so long.... well done Rodney 👍
The legend. You can see how Johnny really was cracking up. I remember being a boy and sneaking out of my bedroom and turning the TV on quietly in our living room to watch Rodney on The Tonight Show on school night. My laughter would wake my mom up and she would tell me to go to bed. The same would happen when Don Rickels was on.
I had the same experince, late night sneaky TV then perhaps if I was lucky the 2am Kung Fu classic on Saturday?...just a wonderful era
@@InDadequatel lo😅
Fabulous..
Carson played straight man to only three guests that I know of - Rodney, Don Rickles and Joan Rivers. Their brand of ribald comedy will never be seen on talk show TV again.
Rodney was just brilliant. The way he could subtly twist meanings around. His clear, deep baritone voice that just naturally commanded attention. He really was unique.
Some of the best comedy EVER! Of all the stand up comedians Rodney was at the top of the list!
Used to watch him when I was a kid 🤣 One Funny Guy!
Tears of joy just happened . Thanks you two wild and crazy guys
The best, Rodney and Carson. Nothing like it today.
A great man…..Each and every time I watch these videos I recall a time when we could all share a good joke and not have to worry about someone calling you a racist, sexist, homophobic , misogynist, or any of the other ridiculous things we hear today. Dangerfield was one of a kind. RIP….. I imagine many in heaven sitting around a table listening to Rodney and his friends spread good cheer and laughter.
That "kid with an accent playing with my feet" joke just killed Johnny. Me too.
