May he get the respect he never got

His life was a very sad story.

Oh man. He was on the Howard Stern show, which I listen to almost every morning, right before his operation in August kinda joking that that appearance might be his last on the show. How sad. He shall be missed.

Man, that guy was funny. But as Photo said, he never got the appreciation that he deserved.

This sucks.

That's really a shame, I really liked him.

That was a funny movie. He was a great guy.

A lot of big stars going away these past few years...

And wow, I didn't know he passed away that old; probably because he acted young.

Heh, if you would have read the newspost that was linked in the first post, you would have seen

Born Jacob Cohen in Babylon, New York, in 1921, Dangerfield began writing jokes as a teenager, struggling as a comic and singing waiter in the "Borscht Belt" resorts of the Catskill Mountains under the name of Jack Roy in the 1940s.

Leaving show business to earn a living as a house painter and aluminum siding salesman, he returned to the comedy circuit about a decade later, this time as Rodney Dangerfield.

So there's your answer.

I loved his work, myself... it's too bad he had to go.
