In memoriam, ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'' ran a short sketch of Dangerfield (played by [[Darrell Hammond]]) at the gates of heaven. [[Saint Peter]] mentions that he heard Dangerfield got no respect in life, which prompts Dangerfield to spew an entire string of his famous one-liners. After he's done, he asks why Saint Peter was so interested. Saint Peter replies, "I just wanted to hear those jokes one more time" and waves him into heaven, prompting Dangerfield to joyfully declare: "Finally! A little respect!"<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://snltranscripts.jt.org/04/04bdangerfield.phtml|title=SNL Transcripts: Queen Latifah: 10/09/04: Dangerfield Tribute|date=October 8, 2018|website=SNL Transcripts Tonight}}</ref>
