The 22nd of November marks the 100th anniversary of the birth of comedian Rodney Dangerfield.
He was a hero for all those downtrodden folks that got "No Respect"
People might remember him from his appearances with Johnny Carson. Others will remember him from movies such as Caddyshack and Back to School.
Comedian Harry Basil, worked with Rodney Dangerfield for twenty years as his support act and collaborator on movies such as Meet Wally Sparks, My Five Ways, Back By Midnight, Ladybugs, and The 4th Tenor.
Harry has some great stories about his friendship with Rodney and how he became one of the best comedians in the world.
I hope you enjoy it.
Jason Ford.
