1. I’d say this calls for a moment of silence.

   Or three.

2. I should note here that Dangerfield’s last TV appearance may well have been on Jimmy Kimmel Live, a few days before the surgery. On the show tonight, they had a moment of silence for him after playing clips from that appearance. I was in the green room, and you could have heard a pin drop throughout the studio.

3. I’ve never really enjoyed Rodney Dangerfield’s movies (I’ve never seen Caddy Shack, that may be different) but the man’s stand-up was inspired. I’ve laughed so hard that I thought I was going to pass out. He was a great talent and will be missed.

   1. Go find Caddyshack. There’s a very good reason it launched his movie career.

4. And the Academy…

   … REJECTED him. BAH. One of the few comedians who actually managed to make me laugh more than once. He was right to decline when they reversed without apology.

5. Vaya Con Dios, Rodney…..

6. Oh dear.

   Rest in peace, Rodney.
