Jacob Cohen was his real name, and truly did have a horrible childhood. Only child to an undiagnosed clinically depressed mother which made his father flee at an early age. Great Kudos to Rodney's spiritual legacy for having turned that Immense Psychic Pain into such universal sophisticated humor. Though, you never escape the pain. When he jokes that he wakes up to a dark cloud saying hello, he was not joking, inwardly, and yet he made millions laugh. Good Karma to you, Jacob

Dangerfield is the best IMO. All self-effacing humor. Best kind of comedy.
Johnny was no slouch. He was an excellent comedian in his own right. He knew how to set up others and let them do their thing. That's why Johnny was and always will be the king of late night.

Yeah, early Johnny Carson shows had that aura of the audience having a look into a social party gathering of Johnny's Hollywood friends uncensored. Now, late night is scripted promo interviews of a nobody's upcoming B.S. product

I’ve watched these performances so many times. The jokes are funny whether you hear them once or a thousand times. What makes them special was Rodney’s perfect comic timing and delivery. He was one of the hardest working people in “show business” and he deserves our respect.

I'm 61. Back in the 70s I told my parents there were two guests on Johnny they HAD to let me stay up late to watch. Rickles and Rodney. No DVRs, VHS or TiVo in those days. You saw it or you didn't. Thank goodness for KZread, Rodney's joy in life was making other people laugh. He wasn't a happy man by nature, and this was his engine. You're gone almost 20 years now, but through technology we can watch you over and over. No respect is a timeless phenomenon and your jokes will never be dated. You truly deserve to rest in peace old friend..

I"m in my mid 60's, have watched these videos countless times, and laugh my ass off still so much. Some of them I caught live back in the day. God, I miss those guys. Johnny knows so well to 'turn Rodney loose'. And when Johnny loses it himself, it's just a thing of beauty. The level of talent is unmatched. RIP guys, and thanks for the incredible memories.
Classic! This is top drawer Rodney & Johnny. I wonder if many people would recognize the guy in the light suit as English actor James Mason? It's the uncomfortable body language of this classic English gentleman, combined with Rodney's direct address "what's new with you?" that completely sets Carson off, and sends this segment to the comedic stratosphere!

Me and my family and friends saw Rodney in the late 1980's at his club Dangerfield's in NYC. He was absolutely hilarious. Every joke he told (many raunchier than what TV allowed) were so mind blowing, we laughed so hard, our ribs hurt for days. The only loss we remember from that night was that his delivery was so rat-tat-tat fast, we missed out on every other joke. He was that good! None of us ever have forgotten that wonderful night and the outrageously funny joy we experienced. We're all just sorry he passed on. A true comic genius. We sure need that in the national dialogue today. Rodney would make shrift of the politics boring the hell out of all of us today. You might remember an expression. "Laughter is the best medicine". Boy do we need that now. God Bless Everybody. Larry D

Dangerfields timing is phenomenal. He's got some damn good jokes but he even manages to crack everyone up with the stale ones.
the scene where Johnny has to leave his desk is the BEST. and the world-class actor James Mason going along with it. Rodney and Johnny together are amazing.

When it comes to comedy, Rodney was pure brute force. He'd write a string of about 30-40 original jokes from scratch, memorize the precise wording, timing and delivery....and then go on a show and just let fly. No Robin Williams improv here. Completely old school. He was going to hit you over the head non-stop and beat you into submission. It's the most difficult approach to comedy requiring intense preparation and hard work, but it's probably the most sure fire way not to bomb.

Wonderful summation. He was the flip side of Rickles in my estimation. Carson obviously loved playing back and forth with either of them on his show.
You’ve got to be a special kinda comedian to make Johnny Carson break like that.
My face hurts so bad from laughing , what's funnier is the people sitting across from me at the airport wondering if I'm "ok" 😂
Dangerfield = Comedic gold! Never be another! And the same goes for Johnny Carson as well. He was, and always will be the Gold standard of late night hosts.

Rodney and Robin Williams
When the Carson show ended it was truly the end of an era. Dangerfield was deadly that night what a great man.
An icon, a legend. Far too often we throw these descrptives about comedians. Rodney Dangerfield was a genius, without even one swear word. Absolutely amazing. He helped so many young comedians at his club too. A gentleman and probably the most humble person in show business.

We r all cut from a different mould as Rodney was, a master at his trade.
Best line of the entire video: "What's new with you?" LOL!!!!!!!
The stand up comedians were really worth staying up late to watch.
05:58 watch Rodney actually break character and genuinely grin at Johnny's "Gay Ranchero" joke. Awesome.
That is timelessly funny!!!!
Genius: material, attitude and impeccable timing!
Possibly one of the greatest comedians of all time
Those were the days. I was crying from the beginning. Rodney was special and frankly so was Johnny they had a wonderful friendship. Irreplaceable
Rodney was rocking this time!!!
Brilliant...Brilliant man...and a VERY kind person...a friend of mine in New York worked for him for 12 years...he was ALWAYS kind and polite and treated everyone well....a true Genius..

Some people are just so lucky to have personally known him, and, work for him, too.
Turns to James Mason...”what’s new with you?” Priceless.

Mason smiled but didn’t know what to say and Johnny lost it.
Rodney Dangerfield was so funny. He even cracked Carson up. Carson was laughing so hard he had to get up from his chair.
A TRUE CLASS ACT AND ONE OF THE GREATEST EVER....HE IS DEARLY MISSED.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Whenever I'm having a bad day, I dig up these Carson episodes with Rodney, and my day gets much better.

I love this! Getting Johnny to spin out of his chair was always comedy gold!
