By  Janie McLaughlin

For anyone who has ever felt a little overlooked, a little unappreciated, there's a good chance you've found a kindred spirit in the comedy of Rodney Dangerfield. His distinct way of speaking, that shrug, and the constant refrain of "I don’t get no respect!" really, really struck a chord with so many people. It’s a line that, as a matter of fact, became his calling card, something folks still say and remember even now. He managed to tap into a feeling that, in some respects, pretty much everyone experiences at some point in their lives, making his humor incredibly relatable.

This comic genius, who brought so much laughter to audiences around the world, actually started his professional life with a different name and a rather different kind of performance. Before he was the widely recognized Rodney Dangerfield, the person we all know, he was a fellow named Jacob Cohen, and he had, you know, a bit of a tough go at the start of his comedy pursuits. It’s a story that, arguably, shows how persistence can really pay off in the long run, especially when you have a truly unique voice waiting to be heard. His early days were, basically, a period of trying to find his footing in a very competitive field.

From his early days trying to make people laugh to becoming a household name in movies and on television, his path was, in some respects, anything but ordinary. His unique brand of humor and his memorable catchphrase have, pretty much, cemented his place as a genuine legend in the world of entertainment. He showed that even when things aren't going your way, you can, perhaps, turn those very frustrations into something truly funny and enduring. We're going to take a closer look at the life and times of this truly unforgettable performer, a man who, like your favorite old sweater, just felt comfortable and familiar, yet always managed to surprise you with a new laugh.

Rodney Dangerfield- The Early Years

The man we came to know as Rodney Dangerfield began his life as Jacob Cohen. He came into the world on November 22, 1921, in a place called Deer Park, which is located in Suffolk County, Long Island, New York. This was, you know, where his story first started, a place that probably shaped some of his early experiences and perhaps even some of his outlook on things. A person's early surroundings can, arguably, leave a lasting impression, and for a comedian, those initial observations might just turn into material later on. His family background, we can assume, played a part in who he became, just like anyone else's beginnings do. It’s interesting to think about how someone from a specific place can, in a way, become a voice for so many, especially when their humor speaks to universal feelings of being a bit put upon and not getting a fair shake.

Before the bright lights and widespread recognition, there was a period where he was, basically, a person
