    fun fact: Maurice LaMarche the voice of brain from pinky and the brain was the reason sam was on this special, Rodney was a bit unsure about sam thinking his act would be not right for the show, but Maurice who was a stand up at the time and on the show begged him to put sam on even telling Rodney he would forfeit his payment for the special if sam bombed Rodney was so impressed by that he put sam in and sam was a hit i love sam, Rodney, and Maurice

    The title is the honest truth. I remember this special like it was yesterday. it had back to back great comedians and it was the first time we ever saw Sam Kinison. I remember the original uncut version and me and my friends were crying from laughing. We couldn't wait for the next Rodney specials. Pure Classics One more note, me and my friends never ever heard of Rosanne before Rodney's specials. LOL I hope one day they will be able to re air all of Rodney's shows in their uncut original form.

He was annoying at irate but after about 30 seconds he had everyone in stitches. I peed a little laughing so hard. I was so lucky to see him in his happy place 💖I miss you Sam

      Adam B Robin Williams and ZZ Top’s Billy Gibbons were among those who eulogized Kinison, 38, at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Hollywood Hills. Faces in the crowd: Jim Carrey. Garry Shandling. Rodney Dangerfield. Charlie Sheen. Tommy Chong. Dan Aykroyd. Vince Neil. Ozzy Osbourne. Axl Rose. Billy Idol.
      Previously, he had told his ministry “He was at the piano and was playing and he told these folks ‘In five or six months, you are going to look differently at me. You are going to feel differently. But I want you to know I am never going to feel differently about you.’ 🥰
