He was the best. I saw him once live and when he fixed his tie the audience was already laughing.

I had the pleasure of working with Rodney in the mid 1980's, on the movie "Back To School." I was "looping" him. (That's dialogue replacement and adding lines as necessary for those of you who don't know much about film-making.) He arrived at the studio for his morning session in a limo, dressed in a bathrobe, his underwear underneath and in a pair of fuzzy slippers. In the pocket of his robe he had a bunch of rolled joints. He was very friendly, walked around the room introducing himself to the engineers and to me. (the sound editor) He began by more-or-less doing one of his routines, claiming he "got no respect." Then he turned to me and offered me a joint. I declined. He offered one to the engineers behind us in the recording booth. They both declined, pointing out that it was against the rules...fire marshal stuff. He asked if he could step out into the hall for a moment...proclaiming himself the world's oldest living pothead. When he came back in a few minutes later, we had a very surreal recording session. During that time, a young Robert Downey Jr. dropped in to visit him along with a few other actor friends of his. Rodney kept us all in stitches with his asides between takes. What would have taken an hour under normal circumstances stretched into three. It was a lot of fun.

The line between reality and a joke has been hijacked by the PC crowd, that’s a shame

It's sad, all the pc crap. I've been watching "Rowan & Martin's Laugh In." The stuff is as funny now as it was in the late 60's, early 70's. But people would get fired or locked up if they went on the air with that kind of programming today. One of my favorite bits was Goldie Hawn and Chelsea Brown walking side by side and dressed as Nuns. Goldie in black habit, Chelsea in white. Artie Johnson is walking toward them and split to walk around them. Artie stops - looks puzzled and says "How'd she do that?"
