  • Jeffrey Gurian of Comedy Matters TV talks with Robert Klein about his friendship with the legendary Rodney Dangerfield, who was the first big star that Jeffrey ever wrote for, and Robert has some very interesting, here-to-fore unknown stories about the comedy icon. Robert was Jeffrey's guest on Sirius XM's Bennington Show with Ron Bennington.
    They shot this interview in the Sirius XM studios. And if you liked this video you might like to see the time that John Mulaney made fun of Jeffrey for forgetting his mic, or Tracy Morgan told his wife something special about Jeffrey: • Garden of Laughs with ...
    Or a video of why Jim Gaffigan is scared: • Jim Gaffigan Is Scared...
    Or an amazing video of Robert Klein and the legendary Shecky Greene moments before he threatened to quit The Friars Club because of something that Gilbert Gottfried just said:
    • Robert Klein, and Shec...
    Comedy Matters TV is an inside look at the comedy world bringing up close and personal with the comedians you love the most. Jeffrey holds a very unique place in the comedy world and according to Ron Bennington is the only one he knows who was friendly with and wrote for the comics from the "Golden Age" and is also friendly with all the young comics of today like Bill Burr, Nick Kroll, John Mulaney, Amy Schumer, Amy Poehler and even women NOT named Amy!

    Klein 's Dangerfield impression is about as good as impression as I've ever heard by anyone, of anyone. Listened three times to the bit about Rodney's brother the men's room attendant: not only does he nail the voice -- and in a subtle way, not at all exaggerated as many impersonators do -- but listen closely to the pace and the inflections.
    Rodney was one of a kind, and Klein was one of another kind: both of them towering figures on the history of stand up comedy. I feel lucky to have seen them both perform live.

    My uncle, great guy, very intelligent in a low key way, loved Rodney. I didn't get his humor the same way as a kid, and when I asked him about it, my uncle said Rodney was a philosopher as much as he was a comedian, and his routines were an outlook on life.

    In the 1980's I had a couple of Klein's comedy LP's. They were hilarious, I remember one off then he talked about being a substitute schoolteacher in NYC. I grew up in NYC so I could relate. One of the LP's had a picture of RK sitting on a dentist chair, hilarious. I always enjoyed seeing him on the Tonight Show and The Ed Sullivan Show. Thank you Mr Klein for making me laugh so hard.

    Great interview. All of us Rodney Dangerfield fans love to hear Rodney stories. He was truly one of a kind, one of the greatest comedians of all time. I still get a laugh out of seeing a young Rodney in the background in "The Asphalt Jungle", way back in his early years, knowing what he became in later life.

  • @frisco21
    @frisco21 7 лет назад +88

    Klein comes across as a well-grounded, reasonable man, as opposed to the stereotype of comedians as drug-addicted misfits. I was especially struck by Klein's humanity, his obvious caring for people and their well-being. His frank, honest portrayal of Rodney Dangerfield as a brilliant but flawed man is quite refreshing. He held nothing back, including his still-painful disappointment at Rodney's betrayal of his family and friends late in his life. All in all, this was a terrific interview, well worth the time spent listening to it.

    In the mid 1990s, I watched my somewhat excitable wife run across the length of the Stardust casino to catch up to Rodney after his show, as he walked alone towards the elevator. He was definitely showing his age and looked quite tired. When she caught up (by now I was in chase to try to head her off), she said, "Rodney! Rodney! I've lost all my money at the craps table, but I'll be happy if I can get a picture with you!"
    Rodney turned at the elevators, gazed at her as if appraising, and said, "Hey, honey, you can have me if you want." He even threw in a tie adjustment. Just a lovely, wonderfully talented and kind man.

    Thank you for that great interview. I watch his videos once a week. I even show my grandkids the videos they laugh they’re 12 years old. It’s 2023 now. Not sure if this is true but I heard that prior to Rodney going into the hospital, he was asked by a friend how long do you think you’ll be in the hospital? Of course the answer was brilliant. Two weeks if all goes well. Couple of hours if it doesn’t.. it appears to me. He had the same stylus Henny Youngman. I love Henny Youngman one line. My wife wanted to go on a pleasure cruise, so I took her to the airport. I use that every once in a while for fun. Thank you.

    This was wonderful for me to see. Thank you so much, from a lifelong fan of great comedy.
    Many years ago I got the insane idea that it would be nice to send Rodney a couple of jokes that I had the temerity to make up. I sent them to his club in NY. I thought at the time they were pretty good. One of them went like this: "I never get any respect.... the other day I bought some M&Ms. THEY MELTED IN MY HAND!! ". not surprisingly I never heard from him!
    PS. Sometime back in the late 60's I ran into Jerry Stiller in a restaurant in Brooklyn. Later on my dad told me that he was probably in the neighborhood to tape a TV show at a studio which was nearby. Further research told me that is was probably a Kraft Music Hall segment.

Shortcut - how did the car get 27 dents in it - what shortcut? 'it was across a driving range.' (his wife driving a car across a driving range!!!!)😄

    Robert Klein in the 80's was THE comic. Jerry Seinfeld should shovel about 20% of what he's earned in his career his way. Jerry et al, the 90's comics and beyond, were pale imitations of RK. He was the master. Go back and listen to his seminal work the Child Of The 50's album. I haven't listened to it in 25 years but know every line from every bit. I owned it and musta listened to it 50 times. The problem with RK as a comic was his all consuming desire to a be an actor. Comedy's loss was Broadway's gain. Live long and prosper Mr. K.

    That is the most honest interview I ever heard.
    It was obvious that Robert was incredibly angry at how Rodney treated his family. Usually, people keep this stuff quiet, especially at a funeral, but Robert couldn't get over it. Still, he paid Rodney the respect of coming to his funeral.
    Is Robert in good health? It looks like his shoulder bag might be a portable oxygen generator and he's sitting in a wheelchair. I hope i'm totally wrong.

    I admire Robert Klein for his talent and intelligence. The way he delivered made you feel he was appealing to your cerebral self. His pace and phrasing held me rapt, even as a young kid. He is a superb storyteller. In fact, Robert Klein just told a story that would normally have me annoyed and disappointed with Rodney Daingerfield for how he snubbed RK, a long-term, genuine friend.😮 Yet, somehow, with the genuine forgiveness and acceptance, and the manner that he told the story, RK slipped any righteous indignation or bitterness right past me and I'm glad I still have respect for Rodney Daingerfield.
