Discovered Bob Saget
While Rodney Dangerfield was at the Comedy Store in Hollywood, he discovered a 21 year old Bob Saget! Yes, Danny Tanner from Full House first got his start in comedy thanks to the legendary Dangerfield. Saget credits him for his big break in comedy and getting to perform the Young Comedians Special. The two actually became close friends.

Broken Home
As we touched on earlier, Rodney Dangerfield came from a broken home of sorts. The comedian was born in Deer Park, Long Island to Jewish parents. His mother Dotty Teitelbaum was overbearing, and his father, a vaudevillian performer, left the family early on. Thus, his mother moved him and his sister to Queens. Growing up, he often faced anti-Semitic remarks from teachers and turned to comedy for some relief.
