Throwback Thursday Comedy Special: Rodney Dangerfield on the Dean Martin Show

Throwback Thursday has become a weekly social media posting trend to let readers and viewers look back fondly on some of their favorite memories -- hence the "throwback" theme. At Jewish Humor Central, every Thursday we'll be posting a nostalgic video clip from a very old TV show or movie that brings back happy memories.

Today it's Rodney Dangerfield doing one of his standup comedy routines on The Dean Martin Show in 1973.

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.

Enjoy!
