Rodney
Dangerfield (1921-2004) was a fixture on the standup comedy circuit
during the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. His appearances on the Ed Sullivan
Show, the Dean Martin Show and all the late night shows solidified his
place in the world of comedy.
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.
We
found a video clip of Dangerfield on the Redd Foxx show at the peak of his popularity in
1978. In five minutes, he fires off a barrage of one-liners to the
delight of the audience.
Enjoy!
