Comic Rodney Dangerfield Dies at Age 82
LOS ANGELES - Rodney Dangerfield (news), the bug-eyed comic whose self-deprecating one-liners brought him stardom in clubs, television and movies and made his lament "I don't get no respect" a catchphrase, died Tuesday. He was 82.
Dangerfield, who fell into a coma after undergoing heart surgery, died at 1:20 p.m., said publicist Kevin Sasaki. Dangerfield had a heart valve replaced Aug. 25 at the University of California, Los Angeles, Medical Center.

My favorite joke in a Rodney film was in Easy Money. It's late at night and he's hungry, so he heads out to a diner. When he gets to the diner the door is locked and the sign says, "Open 23 hours". Poor Rodney.
