Rodney Dangerfield has died. As the obit mentions, he was a “one-liner comic of the old school,” so his comedic gifts were sometimes lost on younger audiences, although his performance in the legendary Caddyshack offset this to a large degree. What is often overlooked is his eye for new talent. He gave important spotlight opportunities to Robert Schimmel, Andrew Dice Clay, Carole Leifer, Bill Hicks, Dom Irrera, Lenny Clarke, Barry Sobel, Bill Maher, Sam Kinison, Jerry Seinfeld.
