Redd Foxx introduces Rodney Dangerfield and the Gerald Wilson Orchestra, “People respect great musicians… and they respect great comedians, all except one. And we’re going to change that all tonight. We’ve combined the best musicians with the only man who gets no respect.” Originally aired January 5th, 1978 on the Redd Foxx Show. 0:26 “Last week I looked up my family tree. Two dogs were using it.” 1:36 “I was so poor. My rich aunt died. In her will, I owed her $20.” 3:45 “Just last week a guy pulled a knife on me. I could see it wasn’t a very professional job. There was butter on it.” Subscribe to channel: http://bit.ly/2sr65Yu Twitter: http://twitter.com/rodneynorespect Facebook: http://facebook.com/rodneydangerfield Instagram: http://instagram.com/rodneynorespect
When I was seventeen or eighteen I snuck into Dangerfields with my buddies. It was a Tuesday and the place was dead. I order a drink and turn around and Rodney Dangerfield is standing right next to me. He does about fifteen minutes of one liners making fun of how his own bar is empty. It was one of the greatest nights of my life
Back when RD was performing, there was nobody like him. And today, there is still nobody like him. One of a kind talent who brought smiles to so many!
Rodney is so good that I can watch his videos over and over again, know the punchline and still laugh with tears in my eyes. Broke the mold after he was born. Best comic ever.
