My Take

Rodney Dangerfield is one of comedy's great comeback stories, and that's why I respect him so much. Born Jacob Cohen in Babylon, New York, he flopped early, quit the business entirely, then clawed his way back to become a household name. Turning his own perceived failures into the immortal line "I don't get no respect" is a masterclass in self-deprecation as armor. His star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame was hard-earned and late-arriving. I'll always take the artist who keeps getting back up over the overnight sensation, and Rodney is the patron saint of that stubborn second act.

Overview

Jack Roy (born Jacob Cohen; November 22, 1921 – October 5, 2004), better known by the stage name Rodney Dangerfield, was an American stand-up comedian, actor, screenwriter, and producer. He was known for his self-deprecating one-liner humor, his catchphrase "I don't get no respect!", and his monologues on that theme. Dangerfield began his career working as a stand-up comic at the Fantasy Lounge in New York City.
