Rodney Dangerfield Website Goes Live From Widow Who Still Keeps A Container Of His Sweat In Her Refrigerator

Rodney Dangerfield's wife Joan has launched a website dedicated to the career and legacy of the late comedian. The site launched on Nov. 22, which would have been her husbands 92 birthday. Dangerfield passed away in 2004 at age 82. The site, Rodney.com contains lips of Rodney's standup, old talk show interviews, get a glimpse of his notes and half finished routines as well as brows photos of him with friends like Adam Sandler and Bill Gates.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, who visited with Joan, the project is years in the making and a labor of love for the woman who owns all of the comedian's intellectual property, among other things.

Yes it is true that Joan Dangerfield keeps a bottle of her husband's swear in her refrigerator and showed it to reporters when they came to interview her about the new website.

"I discovered that Elvis had a handkerchief that was apparently stained with his sweat and it went for a lot of money. So Rodney had a 'eureka' moment. He said, 'I sweat more than anybody! My sweat has to be as good as Elvis' sweat, right?'"

After that she went to work ordering hundreds of perfume-sample bottles and began farming her husband's perspiration. "My job became the 'sweat collector,'" she said. "I'd take a sponge and spoon and collect his sweat - about an inch at a time. I thought we could water it down but he said, 'No, that wouldn't be right.'"

Ultimately the MGM Grand Hotel & Casino where Rodney performed quite often in his later years, said no to the whole idea of selling his sweat.

"They said, no, we couldn't offer that sweat. They said there was an insurance issue. Rodney was crestfallen." Joan still keeps the sweat in a Tupperware container, which she'll transfer to a crystal decanter for special occasions. "It means a lot to me," she says. "I do know how hard he worked to make people laugh."

Obviously the sweat thing is enough to make some people shudder but it won't be featured on the website. So feel free to check out Joan Dangerfield's website dedicated to the late comedian.
