A very rare and interesting interview of Jim Carrey was uploaded recently on YouTube. Appearance on the Canadian TV Show ‘City Lights’ hosted by Brian Linehan in 1984. Jim was just 22 years old that time and a struggling comedian.

He was asked about his experience working with Rodney Dangerfield. Jim explained that he was very thrilled to be discovered by him and knew that something good have finally started in his career.

Dangerfield gave him a chance to do an opening act for his show and Jim considered it as one of his biggest break. He further said that whenever he was doing a stand up act Dangerfield always praised him, especially when he made faces and elbowed people sitting next to him saying "look at the faces he is making...funny, isn’t it?"
