I get a kick out of watching Rodney Dangerfield as a guest on the tonight show Johnny set him up beautifully
I agree. Johnny let him run at the mouth when came to sit
down too. The things he would spout there were some of the
funniest self-deprecating examples of humor I’ve ever heard.
‘Uh, did I have it bad growing up? The doctor who delivered
me, looked at my mom and said, “Sorry, we did everything we
could, but he lived.”’
“One day my mom sent me to the pharmacy to pick up meds.
When I came home my parents had moved, with no forwarding
address.”
“Acne? Sure I had acne. I had it bad! (Carson, “How bad?)
I’ll tell you how bad it was. It was bad! Why it was so
bad I once fell asleep in the library. When I woke up a
blind man was reading my face.”
“The other day I had a very tough day. (Carson, “How tough
was it?) I got off work and hailed a cab. I asked the guy,
you got any nude photos? The taxi driver handed me a photo
of my wife. So I says to the guy, take me where I can have some fun, you know... So he drove me to my house.”
“I tell ya Johnny, I get no respect.”
