Since Howard Stern is arguably the most famous radio host in history, he has become rich and he has famous friends. However, Stern’s career has also gotten him in trouble because he is so candid about his opinions. In fact, Stern is so forthright that his comments have led to violence in the past.

Since Stern is such an open host, he often gets guests to say things they ordinarily would never admit publicly. One perfect example of that is the fact that Stern got Rodney Dangerfield to be very forthright about his family.

The Tragic And True Story Of Rodney Dangerfield’s Family

During Rodney Dangerfield’s lengthy standup comedy career, he made millions of people laugh. As anyone familiar with Dangerfield will already know, Dangerfield often made people laugh by making fun of himself and his family. However, Dangerfield once spoke about his family during an appearance on The Howard Stern Show and what he said was no laughing matter.

Around a year before Rodney Dangerfield passed away, he made an appearance on The Howard Stern Show. While the comedian tried to throw in jokes throughout the resulting interview, it is astonishing how serious the conversation was from the start.

At the time of his appearance, Dangerfield had relatively recently gotten out of the hospital following brain surgery. After Stern brought that up, they began talking about Dangerfield’s memoir, which had been released around that time. The second Dangerfield mentioned his book, Stern summed up how the reality of the comedian’s life made him feel.
