Yes he did indeed, appears like Johnny dabbled with Spanish a bit, smart! Particularly in those days that very few white people knew Spanish, most all they knew was “no mas” specifically the sports fans.
Paul at this time was hot. New Norman Lear produced sitcom, new film and first shot on Carson. I think they were grooming him to be the next Latino comic sensation. For a while, in the 80s he was headin that way. Paul’s a legend and an elder statesman in comedy.
Paul was 29 years old when he performed on this show on January 4, 1984. He is 67 years old now. His son, Paul Rodriguez Jr., is a professional skateboarder.
@@Jerryemcse yes. I was born and raised in Chicago. My parents are from the same country he sneaked in from. My parents came here legally in the early 60s. You problebly did the same thing he did. Bet you're a Biden supporter. TRUMP 2024.

This guy is a comic gem if there ever was one.
Paul Rodriguez was the first Latino Comedian I remember seeing, and I loved him from the first set that I saw. He's a legend.
Freddie Prinze for me
@@penguin44ca I genuinely could not care less.
6:26 Did Johnny just speak Spanish there? Did he say "Es Verdad"?
yes he did.. 'it's true'.

He dabbled in other languages too, like Russian and Swahili.
Another great talent that was spring boarded to stardom by the great Johnny Carson.....

That was always the dream of every comic to do a set on the Tonight Show with Johnny.
Also, it is the secret dream of every Pachuco to put on the Zuit Suit...
And it's a dream on top of a dream to get called to the couch after your set.

His son is very successful
@@gamernorcal That's great!
Paul Rodriguez, Sr. (born January 19, 1955) is a Mexican-American actor and stand-up comedian.
Yup , But Paul Rodriguez born in Culiacán, Sinaloa MX
Cheech Marin, Freddie Prince and Bill Dana who would be canceled in today's woke, pussified world.
Priceless! What a great comedian. Love him. Always made me laugh out loud!!!
Always loved this guy!!!
The goat , this was huge and so humble
Always was a fan of Paul. He got screwed out of AKA Pablo back in the day.
His Son is more popular than him - he's one of those skater millionaires
Different generations, you'd expect the younger crowd to make an athlete more popular.. ;)
I know Paul but I don’t know his son
He was good.
He did the Joan Rivers show, he never got invited back to the Tonight Show, Johnny was ruthless
Yeah, I heard he got into an argument with Carson son the set.
@@slappy1234567 Not the way to make friends.
This set is really not that funny.
Excellent interview.
I should have taken him up on his invitation to visit him when I got back to LA from Vegas. I didn't though.
Oh yeah I remember this guy
😂😂
Deveria colocar que ano foi o programa
What a fantastic segment!!! However, we thought racism was horrible then- how much longer???
So funny"
If you haven't seen it, check out The Whoopee Boys. It stars Paul Rodriguez and it is possible one of the funniest films in cinema history.
Someone please call ICE this dude is not and has never been funny.
You must be A Trump supporter
Said no one ever but you, lol😂
