Michael Seth Starr is the author of
Nothin’ Comes Easy: The Life of Rodney Dangerfield
Michael shares:
-Different generations know Rodney for different things: Carson, Caddyshack, Back to School
-Rodney quit comedy to sell aluminum siding
-How he got the name Rodney Dangerfield
-Where did "I get no respect" come from "It was the era of the Godfather. Rodney was working in a club, you heard some mobster-type people talking about getting no respect. He latched on to the "no respect" which is such a universal feeling, because everybody feels that way"
-When he did Caddyshack he was almost 60! "The role of Al Czervik (Caddyshack role) was offered to Bob Newhart, who didn't think it was funny! And Don Rickles who didn't want to do it, it wasn't his thing!""
