35 year old clips of Johnny and Rodney ten times better than anything on at 11:30 at night nowadays. No comparison
Amen.
Johnny Carson, personal life aside, will have no equal as a show host!! He made it look so easy! Not like today!
10-4!
I don’t know man, Stephen Colbert and Seth Meyers are pretty funny. The other two or three though...meh, whatever. I do miss Letterman though.
No lies told here. You're absolutely correct!
One of THE greatest comedians to EVER walk the earth...Rodney Dangerfield
My favorite Dangerfield line: "I told my boy about the birds and the bees. He told me about the wife and the mailman."
i fkn krak up all the time when I hear that line!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and Im over 60young years and I love Rodney Dangerfiield!!!
Line was he told me about my wife and the butcher! He liked to hammer the last word
STOP 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
*One of mine is ....*
*"And my wife, is she fat!*
*One day a cop told 'er to break it up ...."*
😀👍❤

😂😂😂😂😂😂
Sheer brilliance...he was my dad's generation, but the jokes still hit home...the heaviness...so true. RIP Rodney!
Carson was a master of featuring his guests to their highest potential. Of some, he asked the right questions, but with Rodney, he just stayed out of the way and let the magic happen. I miss both of these wonderful men!
He did the same thing with Robin Williams. Just sat back and let him do his thing.
Carson beat his wife lol, nice man
NilleMr20 wish he could have beaten your sorry ass instead.
I heard Carson say: I grew up in Nebraska. The only thing I had to play with was a tumbleweed.
I don't think I know a comedian who makes fun of himself more than any other, talking about having no ego. Don Rickles is the opposite, like a severe funny. Two different styles.
There will never be another late night hosts as good as Johnny Carson he was the ultimate king of late night
Agreed.
I am very sorry for invading your privacy, I saw your profile page on my friends suggestions list, and i was kind of attracted to you.there is a saying that says always tell someone how you feel, because opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye that is why i am using this opportunity to tell you this, You are a very beautiful woman.
@@wilsonjeffrey9801 sorry I don't swing that way.
Totally agree !
I worked at KNBC-TV in Burbank, and it was always a thrill to see Johnny drive up in his white corvette or Mercedes.
Rodney has more talent in 5 minutes than most actors today in 15 years.
It's a tragedy all the talent that was on such a sublime show. All of them gone never to be repeated.
Especially the RACIST ones that can only make white jokes. It's all their shows. Pathetic!
“There is another” - Yoda
You are correct...
@@reepacheirpfirewalker8629 Things end Dude! Relax!
I had the privilege of seeing Rodney Dangerfield live twice. I got sick both times from laughing so hard. He was the type who could tell a clean joke and make you laugh 'til your sides hurt. RIP Rodney. You've brought a ton of laughs to this insane world.
Same here, saw him live, lack of oxygen.
I saw Johnny do his live show in Vegas in the 70's. We laughed for two hours.
@@robertdiotalevi6073 Carson is and will always be the king of late night.
Da man, bro!@@pzkw6759
I never tire of these two talking with each other. I can see a genuine affection.
Rodeny was on with Johnny on the Tonight Show over 70 times!
Hilarious! He honestly kills Johnny every time, You can tell Johnny was a huge fan.. RIP Rodney and Johnny..Gone but not forgotten
Legends, never get tired of watching them over and over again.
I love how Rodney never stops doing his act even when he’s sitting down with Johnny
Rodney had some more in depth interviews on Howard Stern. The last one was about a year before he died and he was very old and not quite the same but there are others from the mid 90’s which are great. Got to hear Rodney just talk instead of perform.
That the best part of his act.. and, Carson just let's him take over...
@Joseph actually people who knew him well said he was NOTHING like his stand-up persona in real life.
Yea when he sits down he's still on.
I sure do miss watching Carson before bed every night. Best host on late night TV ever. He set the standard and the bar is high.
Thenonly one who came close to Johnny was Craig Ferguson. All the others just grabbed the bar and put it by their knees.
Will never be another Johnny.
None can even compare. How I miss watching him every night.
@@michaelreynolds3592 Indeed.
Cathy T: Craig Ferguson was the best. Only host to keep up with Robin Williams and with Dame Edna. Graham Norton in the UK is at least as good. But Carson was the King.
No one came close to him
"My psychiatrist told me I'm crazy. I said I'd like a second opinion. He said alright, you're ugly, too." One of the best jokes EVER!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
"My psychiatrist told me to lie face down"
Lol
I saw Rodney Dangerfield at the bushnell funny as hell 🐱🇺🇸
My favorite comedian Rodney! 😁
Rodney was purely unstoppable! He did stand up comedy when he entered the theater, then he continued his routine throughout the rest of the show!
I'd give anything for all those guys to still be with us. I've watched these clips so damn many times, and I'll watch them again so damn many times. And some of my favorites are Rodney w/ Johnny. I love watching Johnny trying to hold it together, and then just busting out laughing. I never did see Rodney in person, and I regret the hell out of it. Comedy gold. RIP guys, thanks for the incredible memories. You were simply the best that there ever was.
Well said my friend
You need to watch Johnny Carson along with Bob Uecker that’s a funny guy to
Yes, quite well put!
Both Rodney and Johnny are sorely missed. The talent that both men had is not easily replaced. Thanks for the video.
Johnny Carson, Rodney Dangerfield, Don Rickles, Johnathan Winters, an era gone by, hell of a shame.
Amen. And please don't forget to include Foster Brooks in this group. He was another of the funniest comedians of all.
@@theloneranger8725 yes he was & also a Damn good drunk
I was 19 when this episode was on I never missed Carson any night then after Tom Synder interviews. Best time gone forever
The clip with Johnathan Winters and Robin Williams is some of the funniest TV I've ever seen. Johnny just let them go. Said it was the easiest show he'd ever done.
The masters of dry one liners
Dangerfield was the KING of the one liners. The absolute BEST.
"My wife said 'take out the trash', I said you cooked it, you take it out!"
@Zolar Czakl 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I don't remember that one. Thanks!!!!!
@Zolar Czakl How about "Caddyshack" with the hat. "This is the worst looking hat I ever saw. Looks like something you get with a free bowl of soup......Oh, looks good on you though!"
@Zolar Czakl True. He was a great funny man. There are some funny clips of him on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson!
@Zolar Czakl I LOVE Back to School!!!! SO MANY great lines, thanks for that memory!!!
To get Carson to almost fall out of his chair, THAT'S saying something. When Rodney tells Johnny to "bring out the next guest", I was done...and so was Johnny.😂 RIP to both🙏
RIP to both? When did Carson die?!?
@@Tom_Van_Zandt lol he died like 17 years ago now
@@Tom_Van_Zandt January 23 2005 so it’ll be 18 years in a few days.
@@AFMMarcelD Okay...but Rodney Dangerfield is still alive and making people laugh at his self-deprecating monologues, right?
@@Tom_Van_Zandt I know that you may be kidding but Rodney also died, 5th of October 2004, all the great ones are gone, all of them.
All that remains is mediocracy in today’s nigh talk shows.
God, Johnny asked if Rodney wanted a commercial break, he THANKED the audience for "allowing him into their homes", etc. Very humble and respectful. End of an era
Ok I'll no p
Of course he was respectful, he never got no respect himself
Ikr gods I love him so much miss him terribly he didn't deserve to die like that....very funny fellow...rip rodneu you earned it...
You copied this comment verbatim from another 😂😂😂😂
I have said this before there will never be another like Rodney. He was so funny.
Carson cracking up is just as golden as Rodney killing it.
I think that is him laughing his ass off while he is doing his stand up, his laugh stands out, the "ha ha ha", so since he wasn't on TV i think he just loved it. I could be wrong, maybe was the audience
His audience cracking up is also priceless
Johnny Carson best late-night host ever and you could tell he thoroughly enjoyed what he was doing!
Rodney Dangerfield’s comedy is timeless.
Plus he has the best delivery in the business.
Plus he must have a great memory to remember all the jokes he has in his routine.
Johnny was the only host to allow his genius guests to shine while remaining the brightest light in the room. Just a talent on a level never to be equalled. Just watching him truly enjoy his guests, withholding that laser beam wit that he can wield at any moment, yet remaining confident and generous enough to set the stage. And charisma, my god, no superstar could steal a particle of his light without him gifting it willingly. Miss you Johnny.
Plenty of Letterman setting up his guests perfectly. The classic bit with Frank Caliendo doing John Madden is a perfect case in point.
2 genius at work
Well said and i agree !
He was the greatest "straight man" ever. That is the most difficult job in comedy. And he did it well with everybody, no matter what their style, timing, subject matter. And he genuinely enjoyed his guest's humor and laughed at their jokes. But it's very hard to be a good straight man for all the varied talent he had on his show: from Rickles to Dangerfield and everything in between.
Your so right, Angryfrank!
I sat though his show at Ballys (Vegas) in the nineties. He spat out jokes in the same fashion rapidly for two hours. I laughed so hard I was in pain.
I saw Rodney Dangerfield at the Bushnell in Hartford ct, so busy laughing at one joke I missed the next two 🐱🇺🇸👌just give me one of these👌
I remember once at his comedy club in NY called Dangerfields he said “Anyone here from Queens” (and of course people in the audience yelled yes) and Rodney’s reply was “Yeah, well I’m from normal parents myself”
@@bartonpercival2147 🤣😂
⁰
Man, you are so cool for sharing that memory, thank you
RUclips may be filled with lots of nonsense, but thank goodness that videos like these are here so that people a hundred years from now can watch a comedy legend like Rodney and laugh.
Johnny was the ultimate professional! He is the greatest late nite host!
No late night talk show host comes within a mile of Carson, and he was the best audience for his guests. Especially comedians.
I agree. He was the best. When I was a kid I’d be upstairs in my room and I’d hear my mom just cracking up watching Carson. Great memories
I dunno letterman came pretty close
Yeah, he just sat back and let Rodney go!
...and Rodney went! lol
Letterman himself said the rest of us are all pretenders.
Dangerfield was priceless. His material was fresh and so damned funny!!
By bff
And he was so spontaneous! Just one after the other after the other!
Today you can't make jokes about gay uncles. Or fat people. If you do people would be out protesting! Spreading a annoying virus. Can't beat the old days. People crowded out places to watch priceless comedians like Rodney Dangerfield. And Billy Connolly. Not having to worry about being infected.
Jeez, I miss Johnny Carson. Easily the best host of a talk show ever IMO.
His manner is so relaxed and friendly and he always gets the best out of the guests on his show.
No talk show host on TV today can hold a candle to Carson. He is a marvelous entertainer.
The one and only Rodney Dangerfield. Forever funny, there will never be another!
When a man that's been around comedians and he's a comedian too, like Carson was, if he laughs so unabashedly at your jokes there's no better validation or recognition. Dangerfield was born funny.
Think the answer might be Coked up.. Dangerfield is going 120 Mph and sweating like a mine-worker..
Thomas Falken I don't know if the man was an addict or not. I like to think he wasn't. His movements and apparently sweating, since he keeps wiping his face with a handkerchief is part of his schtick, an act. Remember he's portraying a man that's on
the edge of a nervous breakdown, if not in one already, full of anxiety, frustration and stressed out to the max because for as long as he can remember everybody and everything around him does not fit, his entire life is a whole lot of misses and very few and too far apart hits that even then they turn around and bite him on the ass. Thus his famous line I get no respect, you know, no respect. Either way a very funny man indeed.
@@rogervallecillo292 The following passage recalls Dangerfield’s audition for Al Czervik (casting for Caddyshack):
“He comes in wearing this aqua-blue leisure suit and takes out a plastic bag and does two lines of coke. He undoes his shirt and says, ‘Where’s the pussy?’ ” It was a hell of a first impression. Dangerfield would end up getting $35,000 for his role. And though he would always credit Caddyshack for launching his movie career, he would often do so while complaining that he actually lost $150,000 on the film, having given up a month of headlining in Vegas to shoot it.
(Excerpt from a Sports Illustrated article on a book by Chris Nashawaty titled "Caddyshack: The Making of a Hollywood Cinderella Story")
@@Krumpenstein commonly known among comics that rodney...was shall we say..eccentric....
born funny but it took the rest of the world a long time to figure it out...selling aluminum siding...having failed as a comic..till his forties ...Rodney shall we say...was a late bloomer
His jokes were all 20 years old when we first heard them... and all these years later, we're STILL laughing at them. And Johnny never minded being upstaged by his guests.
When your guest are good... they make you look good.
Johnny always let his guest shine over himself. That was his talent.
Johnny was the king of Late Night, and nobody has come close to him since. He was genuine, and non-partisan. He was hilarious, yet he had a heart and truly cared about people.
😂😂😂😂😂
It's all in the delivery..
He made Johnny laugh his ass off and everybody also love Rodney.
One of the funniest men who ever lived. Rest in peace, Rodney!
Rodney was one of the funniest people EVER. And Carson still the all-time king of late night. Put them together...magic. Laugh so hard you cry.
Late night TV was never the same after Johnny left. Rest In Peace Johnny and Thank You For Your Service.
Grew up watching this man, hilarious! There will never be another like him!
Same here and also loved Carson. Now comedy’s woke and late night sucks. From these two to John Early and Steve Colbert.
WOW! Rodney is fabulous!
Why can't my generation have anyone as funny as Mr. Dangerfield?
I actually remember watching this one! I cried like a baby on the last night of Johnny Carson's Tonight Show. I grew up sneaking into the living room to watch this from under the couch where my parents were cuddling and laughing. Great memories of home.
Me too -as a child, I used to fall asleep watching "The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson" in my pjs at the top of the stairs leading down into our den - saw most of the legendary appearances by actors, celebrities and comedians. It was a fantastic era of TV that will never be repeated.
Great stories! I remember watching Johnny on a tiny (a 6 inch screen or so) black and white TV that a neighbor had thrown out. My mom let me keep it in my room because you couldn’t really see anything on the screen through all the snow. She figured I just used it for pretend, but at 11:30 I always dragged it out from under my bed to listen to Johnny and company (the TV audio still worked OK, just a lot of static). Rodney was always my fav guest.
Also, sorry for the novel. Sometimes I get carried away. Lol
@@RoyAnderson I have the same tendency...loved your story! Thank you for sharing.
@@RoyAnderson fun fact: when I was a kid (early to mid 80's) my older brother had a B&W TV in his bedroom and he would watch Doctor Who (the Tom Baker era) on it. For a good chunk of my life, until I was about 35 or so, I thought those episodes were strictly B&W...Last year I had a desire to revisit those classic episodes (I had never watched Doctor Who), and so my wife and I started watching the Tom Baker episodes, but the whole time I was watching it something seemed off. It didn't feel like the same show I remember my brother watching. About 20 episodes in I realized what was wrong...I was watching it in color...lol
You got that right. I looked forward to Carson every Monday through Friday. Boy do I miss those days.
Loved this guy growing up. Back to School was one of fav movies of all time.
This is real comedy and there'll never be a talk show host as good as Johnny Carson!
“They found a peeping tom outside my window asleep” had me crying with laughter... what a talent
No politics, no agenda, just pure laughter, gone forever I'm sure
Comedy R.I.P.
Would never get away with gay uncle or fat girl jokes now. Society has regressed.
For sure
@@Lordoftheswollen Political correctness stifles our culture.
@@Lordoftheswollen I know what you mean. Things now are getting too pc. Today we need to lighten up them jokes were harmless. Rodney Dangerfield was one of the best.
I remember working 2nd shift as a Nurse and watching Johnny Carson show was the perfect thing to come home too. So funny and original. Those were the best days of Comedy. 😂😊
Rodney & Johnny's chemistry was 2nd to none. ❤️
Rodney is most definitely on my Mt.Rushmore of comedians.
Norm, Rodney, Eddie, and Dice, of course thos are subjective and you might be able to get me to replace Dice With Redd Foxx.
Along with Foster Brooks I guess
@@glennatkinson9948 For sure.
@@astrzmbie9968 Solid list. Norm is somewhere top 20 for me. Eddie is probably the most talented. Carlin is the best. Pryor and Bruce the most innovative. Rodney is the king.
Johnny Carson will always be the undisputed KING of late-night talk shows. He was the best.
Miss Johnny Carson. No one like him. His show was great....filled with real talented and interesting guests. Never political like the dopes on today......Rodney was a legend... The timing impeccable.
Johnny always really appreciated his guests with talent, like Rodney.
My favorite Rodney story: I went to the beach with my folks, and I got lost. I found a cop to help me find them. After a while I asked the cop "do you think we'll find them ?". He said, "I don't know kid, there's so many places to hide".
You always will get my respect.rodney!!!! I never forget you I listen too your material too this day!!!.never forget you
how about: " I went to the hardware store and ordered some rat poison. The clerk asked :are you going to eat it here or is that to go? I get no respect"
"I tell ya, on Halloween, that's when I know I"m ugly: I open the front door and kids give ME candy."
This line kills me every time LOL!!
Johnny did a great job rolling with Rodney during this interview. He just lets him go because he knows he's gonna get gold every time
And when he does say something it's usually to help Rodney get the next gag out. That's true skill.
That was the great thing about Carson. He could lay back and let the guest get all the laughs. He didn't try to one-up them. Today's crop of late night hosts could learn a lot from him.
Sign of a great interviewer. Carson, Parkinson and Frost are the best
Loved Rodney...his movues where great! I watch them all the time!!
Loved Johnny Carson's laugh!! Made me laugh even more!! 😄😂 Rodney Dangerfield was a hoot!! 😁
The sheer physics of this--Dangerfield's lines, Carson's foil--is so great, it's a master class in one-liners.
Two legends in one room!! So hilarious I love them
If you have an antenna, there's an entire channel just for old Carson episodes. It's great.
In another episode Rodney said "I was so ugly my mom tied a pork chop around my neck to get the dog to play with me." I laughed so hard at that one!
That was my be of my dad’s favourite jokes
I sure miss those days ...1978 ...better times,better people, and better music ...
Two very amazing gentlemen. Miss them so much.
Carson made more people stars than all the agents and studios combined. If you got Johnny’s smile and handshake you had a career ahead of you.
Rodney was legitimately funny. Even today. I miss him and Carson. My dad too. We used to watch TV together. Rockford Files, etc. Good times 💛
I am sorry for your loss, my Dad passed away in 1994 a couple of months before my fifth birthday. My Dad had a good sense of humor and we used to watch tv together too. I used to watch Married With Children with him
I used to watch The Rockford Files with my dad too. I remember seeing the first episode with him. Made me feel really grown up. I must have been about 7. Happy days.
When The Tonight Show was everything about everything other than politics
There will never ever be anybody else like Rodney. Also my favorite comedic actor.Caddyshack,Easy Money and Back to School.Amazing!
Johnnies laugh has been one of my favorites since I was a kid! It’s genuine and contagious!
I've heard every one a million times and I still laugh.
Rodney had an undeniable ability with one liners. It showed so well ANYTIME he appeared on Carson. Could be new or a classic. It always resounded with Carson.
Gone are the greats like Rodney Dangerfield. I’m glad I grew up in the 70’s. I got to see the best.
40 plus years and it’s still timeless. Just comedy no bs agendas!
I agree. Things are much better when it’s just straight, rich, white men telling jokes. These women and minorities need to stop talking about their lives and struggle and just take a page from straight, rich, white men - they have it figured out.
Not one cuss word, no politics, no race bullshit no shock jock filler just pure creative talent and set up by an equal. Geniuses
You mention there was not one single cuss word and then point out how it made the show better for it; you then turnaround and use a cuss word to prove your point. The irony.
Rodney used a LOT of cuss words in his live shows, never on TV.
Yep. Society is in the gutter
MCU Thor my language has nothing to do with how a professional entertainer speaks on Television. I’m happy you grasped the meaning of irony this week and hopefully you’ll get another chance to use it on RUclips. I remember back in 2nd grade bursting at the seams to use the word “irony” on someone to feel whimsically astute. Impressive work pal.
Warren I was referring to TV Rodney was crass as anyone live.
God Bless Johnny Carson. He made everyone and everything better. the king of late night, bad jokes made funny and bringing the best out of everyone who graced his show. this is a classic with a classic comedian.
Impossible to explain the excitement and anticipation of watching Johnny work his magic with his guests, least of all Rodney - you never knew what was going to happen and when it did, it was funny, plain and simple - God, I miss The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson!
Such good memories of the Tonight Show and Johnny Carson. As kids, we had to be in bed by nine but I would stay awake reading under the covers. Come ten thirty, I would hear my Dad begin to laugh and I knew Johnny Carson was on. Thanks for the memories!
"Let me tell ya, my high school was rough. I used to get beat up by the class bully every day. Her name was Mary."
😂😂😂😂
Lmao!🤡
A fkin genius this guy was.
Thank you for this treasure ❤️
Two legends. I'm privileged to say I saw Rodney live once in the late part of his career. I was too young to appreciate him then, but I remember he was the surprise attraction and came on the stage wearing a bathrobe 🤣 who does that?
Legend has it that he used to wander downstairs in the big Las Vegas casinos in his bathrobe, with his junk hangin' out. Nobody minded. After all, it was Rodney.
Rodney not only did the standup, he always had great material on panel. One of the all time greats.
Johnny was the perfect foil for Rodney. “You live in a rough neighborhood, don’t you?” Then he just sits back and let’s Rodney rip!
Always loved how Johnny would just play straight man and let Rodney do his thing. Jimmy Fallon could NEVER!!!
@@despicableme8762 if you looked up fallon or watched you can tell hes been told to be less energetic nervous
Johnny was not appreciated for the straight man role he played to comedians on his show. One of the toughest jobs in comedy!
“Rough neighborhood, I tell ya Johnny even the guys in my neighborhood were tough. Guys like MOOSE, BULL and OX, I mean these guys were animals”
“I came from a tough neighborhood ya know. I asked a cop how long it took to get to the subway, he said he didn’t know, so far nobody made it that far yet”
He had his shtick down ..no cussing just pure timing and a great spin on his reality..gone but not forgotten.
Love Johnny Carson & Rodney Dangerfield. Laugh out loud!
"When I was born, the doctor told my mother, 'we did all we could but he pulled through anyway.'
2 legends enjoying each other - priceless
Rodney sadly missed. A genuine funny comedian! Lucky to these videos to treasure and lift oneself with a simple smile via Rodney!
I miss Johnny. He was the best closing of a busy day.
The very best!
Hello 👋 Vera
How are you doing?
I really miss them!!! So glad that when life is too busy and stressful, seeing this brings back so many warm memories. Just hearing the theme song transports me back to that wonderful time. Johnny is the perfect straight man for Rodney. These are two masters of comedic timing. I love how Rodney's act continues when he's in the chair. He's just the greatest!!
Johnny Carson was unique, no one like him. I miss that show, it was awesome.
I agree
It's such a disappointment where we've gone now. From Johnny Carson to Jimmy Fallon. 👎💩🗑️
We lived
Rodney was the the deal still has me cracking up after all these year's he was great. Rip
Rodney and Richard Prior 2 kings of comedy! Love still from 2,022!
Seen this before but i'm still absolutely howling with laughter!!
Laughter is the Best Medicine,Better than Moaning.
Guy rotated my tires from my car to his!!
Priceless
Rodney remains the gold standard of comedians.
Seen a lot of the two of them together, but Rodney was on fire with that line of jokes. Hard to believe he could be any funnier than normal, but he killed it!
Hard to believe.But their was a time, when late night was funny, and entertaining.
Wrong there
I agree that it's definitely not like it use to be, but I do enjoy Jimmy Fallon. He cracks me up!
@@spookypunky This generation of voters right here is the first to be so rude and nasty to wear vaginas and keep up the baby killing they are so nasty. They throw fetus's on christians windshields and or faces and laugh while saying its not alive its a glob of flesh its not a baby.. when it most certainly is because it has fingers
@@jessicariley2114 :) I like when he reads and rights Letters, Dear...
Not anymore, they're nothing but political hacks now
Back in the 80's, I got to see Rodney and Don Rickles with my parents at The Wisconsin State Fair
Rodney in 83 and Rickles in 84. Both times we got REALLY Close seats! And I was laughing SO HARD I actually got Heckled by BOTH Comedians! It was PRICLESS! We were all laughing SO HARD I almost couldn't BREATH! For ME it was an HONOR to get picked out of the crowd and Heckled by two GREAT and LEGENDARY Comedians! Their kind we will never see again!
After both shows we got to talk to them back stage and I got their Autographs which I STILL HAVE till this VERY DAY!
Both men were Sweet Funny Great Guys and BOTH Made sure I wasn't upset being the "Butt of their Jokes"!
I said the same thing to BOTH... "For ME it was a Distinct HONOR to be part of their Show!" And I thanked them for making us laugh SO HARD! Those were some of the BEST TIMES I ever had with my parents! I miss them all SO MUCH! My parents AND Those to VERY Funny Guys!
AND I miss Johnny Carson too! His show was ONE of a KIND!!! He Will ALWAYS BE the "KING of LATE NIGHT TV"! :D
'Nuff Said!
Joe
Good memories are priceless. In that respect you're a wealth man Joe.
I SOOO Agree! And Thank You for that! :)
You Know... people like Donald Trump might be "Wealthy" in a monetary sense... but I THINK a GREAT "wealth" is when you make special connections to people! THAT is the REAL "WEALTH" of Living!
It's the PEOPLE!
at the end of "It's a Wonderful Life"... Clarence the Angel gives George Bailey the "Tom Sawyer" book he was reading and in it he inscribes these words... "Remember George... No Man is a Failure who has Friends"
There is SO MUCH Truth to that! And AGAIN... people LIKE Trump BURN their "People Bridges" because they don't SEE the REAL "Wealth" or "VALUE" of People. Of Family and Friends... And sadly... SO MUCH is LOST!
When I got to meet both Rodney and Don Rickles after their shows... I was shaking hands with and TALKING TO Comedians... PEOPLE that I had grown up with and ADMIRED my WHOLE LIFE!
It also made their passing MUCH more profound for me! I feel like I lost a little part of me when they passed on... but then I thought... Because I Think of them... they are STILL alive in ME! In MY Memories of them! They were Great men... NOT Because they were FAMOUS... but because they gave the VERY Precious gift if LAUGHTER to SO MAN for SUCH a long time! THAT is their Legacy! :D
J.S. Connolly nice
Thanks Pj. Yea it was REALLY Something! So see these "KINGS of COMEDY" that I used to BEG my parents to stay up and see if they were on The Tonight Show" on a "School Night"! And BAM! THERE they WERE!
RIGHT THERE! Not more then like ten or so feet from us!
GODS they really were MASTERS of their craft! But ALSO GREAT People too that LOVED their fans! :D
AWESOME
Damn, we sure need Johnny and Rodney right now.
He killed it with his stand up, and continued to MURDER with his sit down! LEGEND!
Rodney neither killed nor murdered! Such Disrespect!! He was/ IS brilliantly hilarious and still cleanilestically funnier than any comic of the previous 70 years ever!!
Rodney Dangerfield, one of the greatest comics ever, no one like him.
Rodney was a very funny man as Johnny said... Still have his comedy records - Tom - 72 - Delaware via Brooklyn N.Y.
How I miss watching all this.
Johnny was the best & always had me in tears! Rodney was hilarious, good clean fun.
Rodney's real act was anything but clean.
