Let's be clear: Rodney Dangerfield was one of the funniest comedians of all time, and Johnny Carson played the perfect straight man. Together, they were awesome.

So great to have seen so many of Johnny Carson's Tonight Shows since it really was THE Tonight Show

the world is a poorer place without him (and Johnny). RIP

One of THE greatest comedians to EVER walk the earth...Rodney Dangerfield.

America misses this great man. He brought happiness to millions. sorely missed.

Rodney was always "on". He kept the lines coming all night. It had to be a lot of pressure that he put on himself. He once said that it took him 3 months to prepare for one Tonight Show appearance. That's dedication. I miss all of this guys. R.I.P. Johnny, Rodney and Ed.

Best stand up comic ever, never get tired watching these clips

It's real difficult to remember all those jokes one after the other. He fires them out like no one else. What a great comic. My favorite

I missed Rodney so much'he absolutley perfect.Live in peace Rodney.

Love Rodney Dangerfield. And Johnny Carson. And Ed

His 1 liners never get old thank you RODNEY !

Caddyshack... one of the greatest movies ever. 70s and 80s put out the best.

It’s almost 2020 I still keep watching this never get tired 😓 of it. Rodney was the best. Hope he gets more respect where he is now!

Carson knew he was in the presence of greatness. When legendary talent is around you, it's very overwhelming. He let Rodney have the show.

Rodney gets all the respect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Being from the UK we never had the Tonight Show but I adore watching these clips. Carson is an absolute master of his game. As for Rodney Dangerfield what a guy,supremely talented. TV today cannot touch these classics.

I have been on a Rodney kick for days now. Watching every clip.....he is one of a kind.....the man

I saw him live in concert in Louisville. He was great. If you've never seen him live then you missed a great show! I Loved Rodney!

36 years later and it's still the funniest.

Wish I could find him doing my favorite Rodney joke: "Me and my wife...we were happy for 20 years... then, WE MET!"

Two legends at their best. Can’t forget Ed too! Rodney is my favorite comedian hands down. And he is underrated. He will always have my respect and he is missed dearly. All three of these gentlemen♥️

I still have that album. lol. From a time when comedians didn't need 4 letter words to make you laugh. Rodney was the King.

A true Legend . Man I miss him.

You could tell Johnny really loved Rodney. They were actually very good friends. I think Rodney had the most appearances of any celebrity on Carson.

Saw him live in SF with my cousin in 1980. We laughed all the way home and into the following week. I remember he told a heckler, "what, do you go to the movies and yell at the screen?" Classic

You will always be my favorite Rodney! One of a kind! RIP.

I miss rodney! he was one of a kind!

Going to be 2020 soon & am still watching Rodney love Rodney my favorite comedian

Never be another Rodney, never!!!

Rodney is a piece of the worlds comedic history. He was a genius and a great showman.

There will never be another Rodney Dangerfield nor Johnny Carson. Stuff on TV today is something less. Much less.

This had to have been one of his best performances ever on the Tonight Show. Every joke was a killer. He was the best! How he remembered all of that routine I’ll never know. 😂

Hes 1 of a kind, never will there be another.

It's funny, (no pun), how he did his act and then came and sat down and continued doing his act. No off switch! I miss Rodney and Johnny both.

Rodney will forever be the Master Comedian at work! NO ONE like him today. He sure will live on in video clips like this.

Rodney was a legend......those were the good old days of real comedy.

The number of jokes and good jokes this guy tell in this short clip is amazing.

GREATEST COMIC EVER!!❤

Saw him live at the Comedy Store in L.A. back in '82. Wasn't scheduled. Just dropped in to test some new material for his upcoming Tonight Show appearance. Hilarious guy. Sharp as a tack.

Rodney was an amazing neurotic joke machine. What a mind ! and a true performer's heart and soul.

Who would hit thumbs down on Rodney Dangerfield? Smh

I love Rodney's accent. His voice is amazing. Funny as any of the best too. What a guy he was.

Flood of FUNNY - Genius writing, timing and delivery - ALWAYS on a roll.

I always imagined that Rodney did 90 minutes for God shortly after he passed, and had the Lord in tears.

Saw him twice in concert, he comes out does 15 minutes of jokes, and the entire place was laughing so hard,he sat down for 10 minutes while everyone was laughing! The King of the one liners!

Rodney was the best, none like him nor will there ever will be, the king of standup, today's comedians couldn't hold a candle next to this guy.

This is classic television right here.

He was a quiet man, so true.RIP to all of them ,as entertainers, they were great.

we will never see comedians like this again glad they r on KZfaq

I saw Rodney on the Johnny Carson show back in the 70s and 80's and other shows, he was always hysterical funny.

Rodney was by far the best stand up comedian. I think his hard childhood upbringing gave him a lot of early material to use later in life. Miss him and Johnny Carson. Funny funny men.

Rodney and Carson! Two legends!

Rodney was without a doubt, the KING OF, ONE-LINERS!! Nobody has been able to match him or beat him since he died. And when he was alive I cannot think of one person they could catch him. And not only catch him but surpass him. Not. A. Soul. He was the best. In the movies he starred in, let’s face it he carried the entire movie. Without him each movie would’ve flat out sucked. He even surpassed Chevy Chase in each movie. We miss you Rodney for comedy just as much as we miss Elvis for his kind of music. Our world became a smaller world and a sadder world without you in it for comedy and Elvis for music. America became a sadder, Quieter Country. A Quieter Country.

Rodney Dangerfield would have wiped the floor with today's comedians...

RODNEY D. ONE OF THE GREAT COMIC GENIUSES AND WITH THE GREAT ONE LINERS !

back in the day where comedians were sharp, fast, funny and unapologetic....and they could light up a smoke to relax a bit

20 year ago almost since Rodney hung up his tie.. What a legend.

Yeah .. The good 'ol days when the Tonight Show was actually The Tonight Show!

Hey I saw him at the Riviera Hotel! I started working there when I was 17 yrs old. And on our nightly lunch breaks we would always go backstage to watch whoever was playing! Rodney was getting very popular at this time and I made it a point to see him every night for 2 weeks! Saw alot of the older acts!

THAT'S MY GUY!! THE LEGENDARY RODNEY DANGERFIELD & JOHNNY!! I SANG THE RAPPIN RODNEY VIEDO!! NO RESPECT NO RESPECT,!! SO INSANELY FUNNY!! NEVER ANOTHER, JOHNNY!! DEFINITELY, NEVER ANOTHER RODNEY!! SOOO MISS HIM!!💔💔💋❤❤💘💜💜💘💋💋💔💔💛💛💔💋💋💙💙❤❤💘💘💜💘❤💋💔💛💔💔💋 SUZAN C. WILSON

Rodney had to overcome a terrible childhood and upbringing, he beautifully channeled his experiences in life to become successful. If anyone ever deserved fame and fortune it was him.

Classic artist...funny then and even funnier now, especially when you compare him to what you see on HBO and Showtime. Boy he's missed.

The Greatest!

I told my wife we should do a home improvement loan she gave me $10,000 to move out...RIP Rodney.

Rodney Dangerfield you are the greatest. the Elvis Presley of comedy.Thank you for all the laughs. So animated with those eyes and that voice.Many have called me a good imitator of Rodney but aren't we all. We would have needed another 40 or 50 years of of him and his new material to say the least. If it was only possible.Thanks for all the laughs Rodney.

He passed away in 2004...82 years old... Dangerfield's headstone at Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery On November 22, 2001 (his 80th birthday), Dangerfield suffered a mild heart attack while backstage at the Tonight Show. During Dangerfield's hospital stay, the staff were reportedly upset that he smoked marijuana in his room. But he was back at the Tonight Show a year later, performing on his 81st birthday. On April 8, 2003, Dangerfield underwent brain surgery to improve blood flow in preparation for heart valve-replacement surgery on a later date. The surgery took place on August 24, 2004.Upon entering the hospital, he uttered another characteristic one-liner when asked how long he would be hospitalized: "If all goes well, about a week. If not, about an hour and a half." In September 2004, it was revealed that Dangerfield had been in a coma for several weeks. Afterward, he began breathing on his own and showing signs of awareness when visited by friends. However, he died on October 5, 2004 at the UCLA Medical Center, a month and a half shy of his 83rd birthday, from complications of the surgery he had undergone in August. Dangerfield was interred in the Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery in Los Angeles. His headstone reads, "Rodney Dangerfield... There goes the neighborhood."

So many of the jokes wouldn't work coming from anyone else. His delivery is so good.

WONDERFUL! Simply Wonderful! Would never be allowed to show these days!

He was on the roll, and on time, sharp...the best....I can't Believe that I've seen these videos a hundred times and still life, like if was yesterday...I miss those golden years of comedy,...

I love how the Caddyshack clip has some dialogue that got trimmed for the Final Cut of the movie. Great to see. Killer set from Rodney, thanks a ton for posting.

I love Rodney and His Comedy ..........Good for You Rodney for giving this World something to laugh at.

He's a legend

Rodney was good, very good.........but Johnny set him up for it........Many comedians gave Johnny mega-credit for their success, for being a great straight man. Don Rickles, for one, gave Johnny his undying thanks for that. Here, Rodney and Johnny are spot on great!

when I was born...doc told my mother.."sorry miss, I did everything I could but he pulled through anyway"...😄😄.priceless!😅😅

this guy has my sides splitting with laughter! Comedic LEGEND!!!

Some say he’s still fixing his tie up there.

OMG, I am crying laughing! The pure genius of Johnny Carson to just let Rodney with his jokes; amazing these two guys!

Thank God for Rodney. That handle my bag joke was the best! Nobody did such rapid fire jokes like he did. One of a kind he was.

TRUST ME when I tell you , these were the last of THE BEST era ever in Show Biz ! { I was 17 on this night }

Whit humor intelligence funniest person who ever lived one in a million GOD took a lot of time making this man I know their enjoying him in heaven

Best of the best. True talent

I saw Rodney @ the MGM Grand in Las Vegas Aug. 25th 2001, just after he had a mini stroke on Jay Leno's show. He was spot on and didn't skip a beat. 80+ years old at the time. God rest his soul. He loved to make people laugh and lived for it.

I have seen Caddyshack a million times, I have NEVER seen the line where he says " Don't make the pants too tight , you'll hurt his fortune cookie." Rodney was just fantastic. Just loved him!

I have enjoyed Rodney since I was a kid. I am proud to say my son loves him too.

Rodney was a GENIUS!!!

the bag and wife joke had me fucking rolling!

Simply the Greatest!

A week before Caddyshack came out. Wow, what a time.

Oh my god, he was so funny in Caddyshack, I saw that back when it first came out. So funny everyone especially Rodney.

Rodney at the pinnacle here. He is the master, wish he was still here.

Simply the BEST

This is great, when no one knew yet what "Caddyshack" was! Strange to think how each classic comedy was once new and unknown, not yet part of the cultural language, loved and memorized by millions.

My Wife can't cook at all, "I leave dental floss in the Kitchen and the roaches hang themselves." LOL!

Rodney runs the show, doesn't he?

Oh wow I was a sweet 17 year sap in may of 1980 ! ! Boy boy rodney was priceless and nobody better than johnny and ed. Stan and ollie of my youth ! !👍👍👍

He was a comedy beast.

I saw a thing about the making of Caddyshack. Rodney did his lines and thought he had bombed. Nobody laughed. They had to explain to him that it was a live microphone and they couldn't laugh! But he still had a tough time the rest of the movie. Hence his comment at the end where he talks about liking the live performance and the feedback.

"You buy a hat like this, you get a free bowl of soup, eh?"

I miss Johnny too. Growing up in the 60s and 70s I always watched Johnny

the funniest stand up comedian EVER.Bar NONE!
