Rodney Dangerfield's Longest Laughs on Johnny Carson, Part 2: Timed

We timed every laugh Rodney Dangerfield got on nine more Tonight Show nights, 1971 to 1983, all from the Rodney Dangerfield channel's own uploads: from the end of the punch line to the next word anyone speaks. These are the fifteen longest. The longest ran 11.7 seconds. At #3, Johnny Carson laughed until he had to take a commercial break. No narration. Each joke plays from its setup; the clock runs over the laugh; the table fills in as we count down from #15 to #1. Part 1, the eleven nights in our archive from 1973 to 1992:    • Rodney Dangerfield's 15 Longest Laughs on ...   How we measured: a word-timed transcript of each tape gives the moment the punch line ends and the moment the next word starts. Each top-15 window was transcribed a second time on its own, and the two had to agree; we looked at the frames of each one. Applause at the end of a stand-up set (the biggest reaction of all, at the start of this video), film clips, introductions and the ends of segments are not counted. The 1978 tape was a Redd Foxx show, not Carson, and is left out.
