Rodney Dangerfield meets Dean Martin, 1973.
Here’s Rodney Dangerfield with a classy stand-up appearance on one of Dean Martin’s comedy shows around 1973 (or possibly ’72 on The Dean Martin Comedy Hour or ’74 on The Dean Martin Comedy World, it’s hard to place).
After the typical two minutes onstage, Dangerfield does a sit-down bit with Martin. I gotta tell ya, he doesn’t get no respect. Enjoy.

Hello, good people. Here, coming in a bit later than usual, is our daily print ad. Internet was out for around 30 hours here at ‘Disco HQ – but we’re now back online. For a day there, it was like living back in the 70s. I had to do weird things like read a book.
