Comic Rodney Dangerfield Dies in L.A. at Age 82

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Rodney Dangerfield, the goggle-eyed comic famed for his self-deprecating one-liners and signature phrase "I can't get no respect," died on Tuesday at age 82, his publicist said.

Dangerfield, who became a pop culture sensation with a string of broad film comedies starting with "Caddyshack" in 1980, died at 1:20 p.m. PDT (4:20 p.m. EDT) at the UCLA Medical Center, where he had undergone heart valve replacement surgery in August, spokesman Kevin Sasaki said in a statement.

That is shocking and Devastating news

Oh, I am so very sorry to hear that. He seemed like such a genuinely good person. I know his wife was so devoted to him, I hope she and his family's alright.

RIP, Rodney.

RIP Rodney. I'm assuming he never came out of that coma he was in after the surgery. If that's the case then I'm glad he didn't suffer.

Brian · 10-05-2004, 08:27 PM

RIP

And very fitting, he won something along the lines of "Comic Legend" at Comedy Central's "Commies" last year.
He truely was a genius.

Jrnygrl · 10-05-2004, 08:35 PM

This is really sad news. He did an interview on the Howard Stern show, and he was so funny and candid. He will be missed.

REST IN PEACE RODNEY! THANKS FOR THE LAUGHTER!

I'd say he loves it. And he's suddenly become a big classic Hollywood fan, that's why he's brought up Janet Leigh, Katharine Hepburn, Bob Hope, etc.
