Rodney Dangerfield at His Best on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson (1983)

No one could make Johnny laugh quite like Rodney. The week before Easy Money hit theaters, Rodney skipped his usual stand-up set and sat right down, delivering one-liner after one-liner.

1:18 “My father, he was a workaholic. You mention work, he got drunk.”
2:56 “When my wife has sex, she screams. Especially if I walk in on her.”
5:41 “She was fat, are you kiddin'. I met her at the Macy’s parade... she was wearing ropes.”

Rodney was the best ever no one could match his wit .

[dibber]

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

[ronyeahright]

nobody delivers a one liner like Rodney, what a legend

[aleisele]

Johnny Carson and Rodney Dangerfield, two legends that we would badly need today. We all need a laugh to keep our spirits up!
Late night TV at its best in those days!!

[huascar]

Like a machine gun, one joke after the other, non-stop. Rodney, simply the best.

[nexusofice]

This man embodied just letting go and having a laugh. Carefree comedy at it's best. The world needs this man more than ever now.

[pzkw]

One of the reasons he's the king of comedy is the way he does his stand - up routine. He speaks as if he's speaking directly to a particular individual as opposed to a whole audience. RIP Rodney. You're sorely missed.

[trock]

We will never see another like him. His delivery and timing will never be equaled. I could hear the same joke over and over and still laugh just as hard. What a talent.

[blablablugh]

15 years since Rodney's passing and so much of his material still holds up. He was Amazing!

[goober]

There will never be another Rodney Dangerfield.

THIS IS AN ICON, A LEGEND AND A TALENT!!! MR. DANGERFIELD!!!

[lemondishonor]

The king of the one liners. Nobody told jokes like Rodney Dangerfield.

7 mins and Johnny didn't say a word. Two genuine legends

[daking]

Even as a kid, of 1955, and African American, we loved Rodney. He uses common languages every one can relate to, Classic, without profanity and vulgarity.

[shaq]

2020 and still watching rodney clips like this ...guy was a legend

[racthem]

I rather watch the repeats of "The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson" than any of the crappy evening talk shows.
No matter what kind of day I have, once I watch a clip of Rodney, my day is better.

[ronaldleedham]

This, in my humble opinion, is the best Rodney on Carson show ever. He was hitting it out of the park on every joke!
You know Carson had to know his routine but still was laughing his ass off!

[jamesrobertsonrobertson]

Once Rodney gets on a roll, there's no stopping him!!

[TheRealDrJoey]

So much great material per second, it's hard to believe.

[broe]

Funny yesterday, today, and all the tomorrow's yet to come. They can't make this kind of humor anymore.
