Rodney's last appearance with his #1 fan, Johnny. His last joke he told with Johnny, Boy did he really set Johnny up. What a talent. There'll be nobody that could ever replace Rodney.
I agree. Rodney probably isn't the greatest comedian ever, but he was unique, irreplaceable and if there was a Hall of Fame for comedians he'd be one of my top ten and first to be honored. My HOF starting Top Five Legendary Comics: 1. Richard Pryor 2. Milton Berle 3. Bob Hope 4. Red Buttons 5. Don Rickles My second group of five would be: 6. Rodney Dangerfield 7. Lucille Ball 8.

@@fougee1 That's an opinion. You also contradict yourself because if you were right you'd have no need to respond to me. Lastly, I didn't give a list, but mentioned one person. Go away troll.
What do you mean, 'from a video' ? You were 'laugh(ing) out loud'; a response provoked by Dangerfield's _act_ which in this case just so happened to be captured on videotape but it was the man(routine, jokes, interplay with others etc.) that 'made [you] laugh' _not_ *the means* by which the material was transmitted to you.
@@manofiske3318 I think that what he means is that people tend to laugh out loud much more seeing an act live, as opposed to seeing it on video. And what made Rodney so special is that even watching a video, he would laugh out loud.
I watched Carson's show all the time. My parents and I stayed up late to do so. After the show ended, then it was bed time. And in the age of TV Guide we never missed the show double true if Rodney was on. Rodney preempted everything.
I've seen all of his previous appearances on here but when I saw it was near the end of Johnny's run and Rodney was older I wasn't expecting him to be as good as he used to be. Surprise!!! This was his best appearance ever in my opinion.
I think I've seen everything Rodney has done , except in person . This was hilarious and one of his best segments and I wish Johnny would have let him continue until he was done , as we know Rodney will let you know. He certainly was skirting the edge on the sexual innuendos and I have seen guests doing same with the result being their segment over.
There will never be another one like em folks! Truly funny guy! And Johnny was the best at setting him up......and letting him GO! Always a great escape to watch these clips!
These two were great to watch not only because Rodney was hilarious but because Johnny was a great straight man. Having grown up with duos like Laurel and Hardy and Abbott and Costello, he knew how crucial that role was and knew how to punctuate and by how much. Just one or two words (“You Bert ha!”) was often enough.
Not true, actually but he helped a lot of dudes get going in the biz by buying jokes they'd write for him. Of course, he came up with plenty of his own...don't go nuts, just a fact.
Rodney always captivated you with his hilarious “Sad Sack” stories. And how he handled the jokes that got silence - with his reaction & expressions, only delayed the laughter. How I miss his energy !
I really don’t care about swearing except I believe most comedians are way funnier when they don’t swear. That routine was easily in the top all time ten
"I was an ugly kid; my father took me to the zoo. They thanked him for bringing me back! Oh, I was a fat kid too. One time, my old man took me to the beach. A bunch of scientists kept trying to push me back into the ocean.
Hope I live long enough to see this kind of stuff come back around one more time in the cycle. The timing of the Expressions on one bone less are incredible
Loved this comedian sooo much. I wonder how he used to sweat when performing… probably from some heart problems. But hey! I’m no doctor. May he rest in eternal peace 🌹❤️
Pure Class ! Rodney may have not invented comedy but he earned the crown. I laugh so hard listning to him I hurt in my sides. I have to think what more he would have brought to us if he would have lived on longer. RIP Rodney
When he first heard about Viagra, he asked around if people had heard about it, which they had, then he tried a joke at a club, and booked himself on the Tonight Show the next day before it could be stolen. "My doctor put me on a Viagra and prune juice diet. Now I come and go at the same time."
I have been trying to picture him at the Pearly Gates, St Peter and the whole entourage are laughing hysterically and God says , I guess Rodney made it. I sure hope so, RIP
I was fortunate to see him LIVE in person when Rosanne Barr was his opening act. One of THE best. Aside from Craig Ferguson, Late Night television no longer exists. I used to think Letterman was great, until he went liberal crazy. I miss Leno as well. RIP Mr. Dangerfield, Mr. Carson, and Mr. McMahon.

Rodney Dangerfield showing the true meaning of saving the best for last! Great appearance.
Absolutely. He actually got funnier with age. I was splitting my gut with laughter with this appearance by Rodney.
it very hard to replace both legends, there will be no one like them.
An understatement. Late night comedy these days is garbage.
Can't replace people

There are not very many comics that can make me laugh out loud from a video. Rodney was one of a kind. The KING of the one liners :)

Ok Jo Jo
Carson/Dangerfield. The best comedy act ever !!!!!!!!!!
I watched Carson's show all the time. My parents and I stayed up late to do so. After the show ended, then it was bed time. And in the age of TV Guide we never missed the show double true if Rodney was on. Rodney preempted everything.
He had the best " one liners " ! He was a class act!
I know a great attorney that got one of his clients charges of rape reduced to tailgating. Carson fell on the floor with that one.

I was thinking exactly the same thing. This appearance by Rodney with Carson was truly one for the ages.
He must have all the angels in heaven laughing 24 hrs a day. He was the best...
There will never be another one like em folks! Truly funny guy! And Johnny was the best at setting him up......and letting him GO! Always a great escape to watch these clips!
Rodney Dangerfield, he never missed a beat even when he got older.
Jimmie Fallon sucks as a host he is pathetic. Can't even watch his bull. Sad as sh*t.
The audience was electric when Rodney went on stage
Rodney would just roll. And carson, the ever amazing interviewer would just sit and watch. And laugh. Amazing

The greatest attribute that Rodney brings to the table is his unending supply of fresh material.
Old here but still on point. I love this guy.
Rodney wrote all his own jokes. And his delivery was one of a kind. Great comedian, in the vaudeville style. He had his own lane.😃
Not true, actually but he helped a lot of dudes get going in the biz by buying jokes they'd write for him. Of course, he came up with plenty of his own...don't go nuts, just a fact.
Alan Zweibel, for one.
Jersey boy
One guy is not going to come up with that many good jokes. He did wrote lot of his jokes - something that Bob Hope never did in his career.
He paid fifty bucks a joke.
I watch these videos are realize how much I miss him.
Rodney was my favorite comedian and still is. I know most of his jokes. Sure miss him. Rest in peace Rodney.
Johnny is simply in awe of this comic great.
OMG, golden comic years of the past late nights. You can't beat that with a stick.
Rodney was really on a roll here 😅😅 Luvd it 🎉
"At my age, if I take excellent care of myself, I'll get very sick and die." So true!
On that note I’m going out to buy a pack of cigarettes and then go to the bar
@@jimmyolsen5897 I'm a workaholic myself. You mention work, and I get drunk!
At 71, that one's not nearly as funny as when I first heard it.

By far, Rodney's BEST visit at the desk.....
What a crowd , what a crowd , what a great awesome entertainer , Rodney is the best
There will never be another Carson or Dangerfield. The best of times are over.
(from Bolivia)
... the sad truth ...
What a treat I haven't seen this clip before or heard these jokes...great just great!!
He is amazing guy
One of his best appearances on the Tonight Show too...great material there..!!
Best riff ever. This guy is amazing.
It's amazing how Rodney caught on with 'the younger set' after his relatively brief appearance in Caddyshack.
@@dhpbear2 I was in that younger set, 12 when Caddyshack came out. I saw it on HBO. Great movie, I think he's the funniest guy ever!
@@dhpbear2 He is timeless.
Love this guy, he is an all-time great.
It's lonely at the top, especially when there's no one on the bottom. Classic.
This was about the funniest thing I’ve ever seen Rodney was a genius
The GOAT of stand-up!
... what a GREAT comment
I really don’t care about swearing except I believe most comedians are way funnier when they don’t swear.
That routine was easily in the top all time ten
Rodney was a great comedian.
Only good thing about getting older is you can still roar at Rodney because you’ve forgotten some of his routine ! No one was better !
the best, both of them at the top of their game.
"I was an ugly kid; my father took me to the zoo. They thanked him for bringing me back! Oh, I was a fat kid too. One time, my old man took me to the beach. A bunch of scientists kept trying to push me back into the ocean.
Note to self: Don't be drinking water while listening to Rodney. Now I have a mess to clean up.
😂
The monologue doesn't end when he sits down with Johnny.
He was one of a kind
Classic and unique. The talents of today can only hope to be half this funny.
Much funnier than comics today. And cleaner
He should have been on Carson's very last show, just for one more little 5-minute bit.
Hope I live long enough to see this kind of stuff come back around one more time in the cycle. The timing of the Expressions on one bone less are incredible
Ft
Hollywood has gone to pot. They have no class
Pure comedy. He's the king
DAMN-Rodney just got better as he got older!!!!!!!!!!!
He puts his pocket hanky away in the back, then pulls out another one lol
Loved this comedian sooo much. I wonder how he used to sweat when performing… probably from some heart problems. But hey! I’m no doctor. May he rest in eternal peace 🌹❤️
"If I gave you money to buy booze, you'd go out and buy food instead."
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
He was a classic. Just like Don Rickles. Another classic.
Ladybugs was such an awesome movie and I loved it. That's how I heard about him and why I'm here.
Funniest part of that movie is when he's telling the bartender how he dresses up his nephew as a girl and plays with him, LoL!
One of his best appearances.
Agreed
@@smallbusinessmarketinginst7080 Maybe THE best!
I think that is Bernadette Peters sitting there. What a total babe and she still looks great 30 years later.
Legends and Legendary stuff
I always liked how Carson was so good at feeding Rodney straight lines. It was like two old time vaudeville comedians working. A lost art.
I once dated a fast food worker who could make a Big Boy in three minutes or a Boy Big in two minutes!
(from Bolivia)
Rodney was funny all over the world. THE BEST
I can’t understand how I can hear these jokes over & over again, and Rodney STILL cracks me up!!
Rodney is a LEGEND...and I miss him so much.
Legendary performance, one of Rodneys best.
The absolute best Dangerfield/Carson clip ever!!!!!
Oh god he's hilarious 😂
His whole shtick went against taboos: “never let them see you sweat” and “ don’t telegraph nervousness!” LOVE IT!!! A laugh riot! Thanks for the clip!
I haven't seen this one before. It's tough to see a grown man cry.
He was setting Johnny up big time.
what did he say? I couldn't make it out through his crying act... "every day. every night... I gotta...?"
The last joke when he cried was so funny. It’s lonely on top when there’s no one on the bottom !
One of a kind. Superb always
So fun listening to them.
I've watched that many times. I believe he had an emotional event of some kind there. He barely pulled himself out of it.
Rodney was batting a thousand this night!!
Rodney was one of THE very best.
Pure genius on both parts.
Pure Class ! Rodney may have not invented comedy but he earned the crown. I laugh so hard listning to him I hurt in my sides. I have to think what more he would have brought to us if he would have lived on longer. RIP Rodney
The drugs kicked in that night and who the hell cut his hair? Legendary comedy all the time, so quick with the quip, great timing!
I’m in tears😂
very simply, he was the best, ever.. with a style all his own
He is the only one who can keep Carson laughing.
I went a nude beach and they told me to park in a handicap spot 🤣😂
You *really* have to be funny to get Johnny to crack up!
“I’ll tell ya. I’ll tell ya, I’m alright now but last week I was in rough shape.”
My wife ran away with my best friend-now I’ve got no dog!
Best joke--a total surprise.
"I tell ya Johnny I know I'm getting old ya know. I mean at my age, when I hear a guy goes both ways, I figure it's number 1 and number 2" 👌

I saw the great Rodney in Vegas and you dare not laugh or you missed 3 jokes. He was a true professional, ALWAYS perfect delivery
He's hilarious 😂
It seemed like Rodney was really upset that the show was ending and that was his way of telling him that he'll miss him
Rodney was the best of the best.
Rodney is the man. 😎
TOTAL RESPECT.
R.I.P.
This was when late night TV was funny!
The young lady on the couch is Bernadette Peters.
Andrea Martin did an incredible Bernadette Peters on Celebrity Farm film blow up
Yeah. She was in the movie 'The Jerk' with Steve Martin.
Thanks, I was wondering.
Best stand up comic of all time
The man who had the great gift of making people laugh rip Rodney
What a Pro
Gotta Love Rodney
I love these new comics
There is and was one only like Rodney!
I have been trying to picture him at the Pearly Gates, St Peter and the whole entourage are laughing hysterically and God says , I guess Rodney made it. I sure hope so, RIP
