[history]
Comedian Rodney Dangerfield was moved from a hospital's intensive care unit to a private room Friday as part of his continued recovery from brain surgery last week.
His publicist, Kevin Sasaki, characterized the move as an indication that the 81-year-old star of "Easy Money" and "Back to School" was "out of the woods."

Saw him at the MGM in 1998, he was 76 at the time. Fantastic- he's a little dirtier than on TV, but nothing really blue. Came out and did 25 minutes non-stop, not even a drink of water. Took a drink and did 15 minutes more non-stop. Not many young commedians can do that. Hope he recovers fully.

I had the pleasure once of literally bumping into Rodney and his lovely wife one day in Los Angeles a while back. He was gracious and treated me very well! Nice people, seemed to me. Get well soon, Rodney, We Love You!

Dangerfield showed his darker side in "Natural Born Killers."

Some classic Rodney:
I saw a bar with a sign outside that said "Topless! Bottomless!". I went inside - there was nobody there!
And my girlfriend - boy is she fat! She went on one of those excercise shows - I tuned in to watch her and she started jumping up and down. My TV fell off the stand!
They always say you should know where your kids are at all times. I do - I see them on the news!

My wife likes to talk to me during sex. Last night she called me from a Holiday Inn!

Once he is feeling better, I feel sorry for his nurses. On second thought, he will probably be feeling for his nurses. Old goat.

I get no respect. When I was a baby I was breast-fed by my father.

My family's claim to fame... When my Father was a struggling young musician, he got a job playing at a resort in the Catskills. He had just bought a new car, and a commedian needed a ride up to the same hotel. That commedian was Rodney Dangerfield... And he got sick and threw up in my dad's car!

"Easy Money" and "Back To School".
Heck, Rodney nearly put me in the hospital with broken ribs from laughter with those two.
Side note...Sam Kinnison as a prof in "Back To School"...how sad he checked out
too early...
