Throwback Thursday Comedy Showcase: Rodney Dangerfield on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1967

It's Throwback Thursday again and we're going back 53 years to get another dose of Rodney Dangerfield explaining why he "don't get no respect."

Born Jacob Rodney Cohen on Long Island, Dangerfield (he took the name from a character in a skit on the Jack Benny Show) had a career that went beyond standup comedy to the movies and to his own comedy club, Dangerfield's, in Manhattan.

In this video clip from The Ed Sullivan Show in June 1967, Dangerfield delivers monologues and tosses out one-liners about psychiatry, traveling, and relationships.

Enjoy!
