He should never have done Sern's show. Stern is a 'muck- raker' and Dangerfield was in no physical condition to this interview....4 months before his death! I would rather remember Rodney as he was in the movie "Caddyshack" or on the Tonight Show with Carson.
@@UberLummoxI doubt you know Howard as a person but all of his weird questions are homosexual because that’s who Howard is. Had his boyfriend Ralph for all those years and now married a beard to keep her quiet.
Rodney died 4 months after this interview. He had brain surgery about a year before this interview on 04-08-2003 to improve blood flow for an upcoming heart valve replacement. The heart valve replacement occurred on 08-24-2004. Rodney died a few weeks later on 10-05-2004. His headstone epitaph reads, "There goes the neighborhood".
Damn, he died on my 20th birthday... i don't know what relevancy that has, (probly none at all) as it's just another 1 of life's weird, seemingly random instances of happenstance that I'm not going to apply some unjustified meaning to, just a curious observation on my part.
He said atleast he won’t know he’s dead but on Wikipedia it says in was in hospital for 6 weeks until he died so what does that mean? He was in a Coma or what?
The poor man had a few months to live & went on this show. Still, thankful for the interview to hear him and thankful for all Rodney gave to us. Rest In Peace Legend ❤️🤗
Was super depressing to hear how much his family and wife disliked him. They are true gold diggers, as he said you roll the dice with kids, and marriage can sure be the same once wealth is involved.
Rodney died 19 weeks after this. He was in more or less a coma for the last six weeks of his life. His final words were funny, as always. (Look them up.) Sad to see him weakened here, but he gave his all even though he was feeling awful. Thank you, Rodney, for everything.
Damn, this is the saddest interview of Rodney Dangerfield I ever saw. I’m getting teary eyed. He had the worst parents. That, and he doesn’t have the energy like we always see him with. You could tell, he’s in his dying days.
And Howard had to bring it up and not get off the topic. He's kind of a dick for doing that. He did something similar with Frank Zappa in his dying days. No wonder he goes to a shrink five days a week.
Howard kept drilling the sadder elements of his life the entire interview. Gotta say, this isn’t what I expected in a Stern/Dangerfield interview. Kinda lame.
I've never seen Howard stumble and get nervous like this before. At the start you could tell he realised Rodney was almost gone and not what he used to be.
This was the interview that turned me off to Howard after being a fan for soooo long. So disrespectful to a legend. Howard will never have Rodney’s legacy.
I certainly miss Rodney. He was always a favorite of mine growing up. So talented and was a gift to this world. Rodney, I can say you always had my respect. Love and miss you always...
In around 1987, I was lucky enough to meet rodney with his 20something gal walking the strand in venice ca. They sat down at the bend just before the shops, I was roller blading and rodney made the comment, "what the fuck is this guy skating on?". I stopped and let him know they are blades not skates and we chatted for a few minutes. Super nice guy, RIP.
I have watched Rodney Dangerfield a hundred times on TH-cam.....I knew every punchline and I still laughed at every one. He was the funniest guy on the planet.
I've watched a lot of Howard's interviews and this is one of the few ones when you can actually tell Howard's admiration and respect towards his guest. Rest in paradise, Rodney!
I was looking for the actual date of this interview. It had to be near the end. I love watching Rodney in old clips with Carson and others. A very real part of my formative years as a teenager. He taught me that self-deprecating humor was always the best humor! Thanks Rodney Dangerfield for a lifetime of laughs and not taking ourselves too seriously! RIP
One of the defining characteristics of ALL the great comics was this intrinsic SADNESS. Rodney had that in spades, plus I think his health was in decline at this point and he knew he did not have much time left. RIP Rodney, you were one of the greats who brought laughter and happiness to Millions. I cannot think of a greater legacy than that. ❤😂👍
Look at the golddigger walking behind him..thats ok..whatever made hi. Happy..he had good taste in woman I can see.lol. she was rocking Rodney's world..
True Legend of his own right..his hard life gave him the strength to make others smile even though..he felt so 😢 empty..but definitely loved ..by everyone who watched him on the silver screen RIP Rodney ❤❤
Rodney Dangerfield was always one of my very favourite comedians/comedic actors. What a true legend to be a celebrity working against all odds he had against him. I heard that his final words were even a funny joke before he passed away. Sad that a couple of the callers had to be creepy & disrespectful to such a legend. I’m totally gonna have to read his book. RIP Rodney, you’re the best!
This is such a sad interview. It breaks my heart that Rodney struggled so much to find joy in his life. Besides creating funny material, he was more or less miserable. That's just awful. I will take this as a life lesson to do more things that make me happy
It's a common thing, to find that a comedian, is just a miserable soul. Very unhappy with their lives. Idunno why, when they touch so many lives with happiness, that they'd remain miserable still....
I kind of agree with the caller. This was so sad. He's absolutely miserable and spends his life making others happy. So incredible. RIP Rodney. Greatest of all time 🙏
Must say, I only listened to Rodney do stand up for the first time months ago. He quickly became my favorite comedian. No one before or since drops one liners like he did. Wish I had heard him when I was a bit younger
This is one of the saddest interviews ever and to think Rodney died 4 months later can’t believe he’ll be gone 20 years this October that’s insane he is so missed he was incredible one of the greatest and funniest comedians of all time May he RIP 🪦
Sad thing is he died only 4 months after this interview. He knew he was in his last lap and his mood/ personality today shows they. He wasn’t anywhere near the danger field we all grew to cherish. RIP legend
I read Rodney's book, it's amazing how stoic he was about bad things that happened to him. Seems this attribute was lost starting with baby boomers. But he lived to give tremendous love and support to many and always respected truth and science.
Rodney Dangerfield was a great Comedian and Actor. He started later in life to create "I get no Respect". RIP 🌹 Mr. Dangerfield your now making everyone laugh in Heaven. Don Rickles was a favorite Comedian of mine too RIP.
I love this interview my mum was very similar to he's people just don't quite understand the hurt & pain you go though with a unsupportive mother. 💔 One day you realised you cannot win the affection or love they don't want to give you you. Once your over that well can never possibly be totally over it 👍
maybe my fav comedian all time ...he brought so much joy to so many ,and to see so much unhappiest ...what a shame ..howard don't be like Rodney , know and appreciate your greatness . tip for being happy learn mindfulness , be thankful and grateful for everything ,even small things like a meal ,or transportation ..AND BE AS POSITIVE AS POSABLE , forgive those who have wronged you, not for them, but your own peace of mind..no need in even telling them. worked for me
While visiting Las Vegas in 1999 my friend was thinking of treating us to see Rodney live in a stand up performance. We unfortunately never got around to going since we had a lot of other things to do while there. One of my biggest regrets!
Howard stop bro!! If he's ok with it you should be too!!! The man, God rest his soul and took it for what it was. Howard sounds like he wanted to be the kid on dudes lap.#Legend #Norespect
Gone, almost twenty years now. Howard, "I figured this was it. Nobody survives brain surgery." He was right. Rodney died about five months after the interview, just over a year after the surgery. People don't realize that Jacob Rodney Cohen (he took the name Rodney Dangerfield from a cowboy character used by Jack Benney on his radio show) had a tough time getting his career going until he developed his Dangerfield "no respect" character. He was nearly 50 when he finally "made it" by appearing on the Johnny Carson show. The rest is history. RIP, funny man.
As the years go on I realize more and more that Howard's interviewing tactic is to almost always turn the discussion negative. He's such a negative, glass is half empty, type of guy.
there's wanting to have people tell the truth . and then there's just continuously pushing to frame everything in the worst possible light. more insulting than entertaining. the great hosts/interviewers are the ones that open new doors for the guests but allow them to walk through those doors on their own. not just badgering the guest and pushing them through the door at any cost.
always , when he talks to Paul McCartney he always brings up yoko or who broke up the Beatles , always totally negative . the think to know about stern is that all his former employees have sued him . he is apparently an awful person to work for .
you notice when howard kept bringing up to Rodney about the man letting him sit in his lap. lol Rodney said (sounds like you wanna meet him ) nicely Letting him know hes done with talking about that

You could really tell Rodney didn't have much longer. I've never seen him in an interview this subdued and withdrawn. It's pretty heartbreaking.
Yes!
And Howard Stern knew this and he did the interview anyway.
Howard Stern is shameless and will do anything for a viewer!
@@PisceanDreams-je6vo Rodney apparently just popped in, is he gonna tell him no?
Edit: Looks like he actually came to promote his book.
What's really heartbreaking , he is in hell right now.
He should never have done Sern's show. Stern is a 'muck- raker' and Dangerfield was in no physical condition to this interview....4 months before his death!
I would rather remember Rodney as he was in the movie "Caddyshack" or on the Tonight Show with Carson.
@@tiedyehobo no, he isn't. You are. For buying wives tales.
"I was seeing a child psychologist.....that kid didn't tell me anything."
😆 maybe it was your mature thinking that prevented you from getting his innocence?
It’s so funny
Shit, I just cracked up.
🤣🤣🤣
Only Rodney could think of such a line, hilarious!
Rodney was so good it was scary. A good guy who helped out so many up and coming comedians. He had a tough childhood and came up the hard way RIP
That's great to know. Thanks. I like Howard as a person I guess, but he asks so many goofy questions imo.
@@UberLummoxI doubt you know Howard as a person but all of his weird questions are homosexual because that’s who Howard is. Had his boyfriend Ralph for all those years and now married a beard to keep her quiet.
@@psp4150 Doubt it, but so fking what if he is? You sound like some trumpster dickweed.
After listening to the parents he came from, and seeing all he accomplished while remaining humble and real, Mr. Dangerfield has my total respect.
Absolutely. Didn’t know his childhood was so horrible. What an amazing man, even in his final days here he had that quick biting wit.
Ōooōoooooooooooooo

@The mysterious Miss X I am sorry for your situation. I'm pretty sure I did not say he had the worst possible upbringing. It's not a contest.

I wouldn't say poor , he was rich in many aspects of his life
That’s what I’ve abs thinking after Wikipediaing him. How sad this k Trevor’s is so close to his death.
Was super depressing to hear how much his family and wife disliked him. They are true gold diggers, as he said you roll the dice with kids, and marriage can sure be the same once wealth is involved.
Im pretty sure Rodney lived a better life than most of us do.
Looks pretty good considering
The tears in Rodney's eyes after Howard was saying thank you. Got me
My wife and I were happy for 20 years. Then we met.
This man is sorely missed
I have a whole new ultimate respect for Rodney now. His modest honesty is overwhelming. I love this guy !
❤️
Absolutely one of Howard’s finest guests! A true gentleman!
Rodney was killer on Carson, but this was riveting. He was being a human instead of a joke machine.
Sadly, Rodney would not recover from that upcoming heart surgery that he mentions at the top of the interview. RIP Rodney the One Liner GOAT
❤️
wOW, NO ONE KNEW THAT UNTIL YOU JUST TOLD US.
WE ALSO LANDED ON THE MOON IN 1969 AND 9/11 HAPPENED IN 2001
Rodney is one and only he can never be duplicated. We truly miss him.
Rodney is amazing. He gave me great joy over the years, I will never forget him.
I would have loved to have given him a big hug…. He deserved many… 😌
Same here, what a treasure to see this..
To bad Howard makes his guests uncomfortable at they're expense...jerk!!!

Why is Brendan Fraser starting to look like Rodney? Lol
You're not lying one bit
I see it… now I can’t unsee it…
I guess we found who will play Rodney in his movie
OMG he does!!😂lol

Rodney died 19 weeks after this. He was in more or less a coma for the last six weeks of his life. His final words were funny, as always. (Look them up.) Sad to see him weakened here, but he gave his all even though he was feeling awful. Thank you, Rodney, for everything.
I met him at his nightclub Dangerfields and he was as nice as you would imagine.
I loved Rodney, he was the greatest. Howard loved him too. He was super nice to Rodney. I only wish the man would have had a happy life.
Wow, passed away 5 months after this. RIP Dangerfield. One of the GOATS!

Entertained me in my youth! And he such a sweet man.

Add Don Rickles too....

I've never seen Howard stumble and get nervous like this before. At the start you could tell he realised Rodney was almost gone and not what he used to be.
He left the hospital when they planned on keeping him in hospice.
Stern reminds me of my friend's drunk mom, about 2 bottles of wine in. No inhibitions, telling you all the things that should be bothering you
What a legend this man was. Fantastic interview.
He lived a long life and seemed normal and relatively happy especially concerning everything - that's a great man!
R.I.P to the great legend of all time Rodney Dangerfeild
People will say it was the surgery that killed Rodney but I'll always believe it was dealing with Howard and Robyn for an hour that really did him in.
They really are awful
This was the interview that turned me off to Howard after being a fan for soooo long. So disrespectful to a legend. Howard will never have Rodney’s legacy.

It’s annoying how much Howard puts words in Rodneys mouth.
Howard is an egomaniac.
Agree, ugh.
Yea, it’s like Howard was trying to convince Rodney what’s true. Rodney looked annoyed at time and I am with em.
