No respect, I tells ya!

I feel shame for not remembering this guy name. He died at the age of 82 (I believe) and was in Caddyshack. Bug-eyed comedian, was on the Simpsons as Mr Burns' son. Ron, Rob, or Rob. I forget.

Good guy though. Memorable for his one-liners. Great comic. Shall be missed.

His name was Rodney Dangerfield, and this has already been brought up in the thread "Another great comic has left us"

I thought his best stuff was:

Back to School
Easy Money
Caddyshack

He was too good a comedian to do anything else.
Old school comedy.

Just his stage name that he has gone by since the 60's.
I can't remember his real name........

His interview with Terry Gross on Fresh Air was played today. He was very influential in getting several great comics started like Jerry Seinfeld and Jim Carey. He had an incredibly painful life and it seems like all the best comics have this in common and use comedy as part of their coping skills.
