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.
