Rodney Dangerfield gets no respect...even in death

[russian33]

January 31, 2005 -- EVEN in death, Rodney Dangerfield gets no respect. The late comedy legend's longtime publicist, Kevin Sasaki, got a call from a booker at CNN last week asking him if "Rodney would be available to share his comments on the passing and legacy of Johnny Carson." Sasaki replied that unless CNN had a new way of linking up to the afterlife via satellite, that would be impossible. Dangerfield, of course, passed away last October.

4. Rodney would have gotten a kick out of that

Carson dies and the world talks about it for days. Rodney, who did more to help young comics that Carson, dies, and CNN doesn't even know it.
Poor Rodney.

5. Another sad aspect of this is

that this booker from CNN most likely has a college degree.
