Rodney Dangerfield is back and he's feeling funny.
The comic has recovered from heart bypass surgery and is about to release a film called "My 5 Wives."
"I was inspired to write the story because my wife is a Mormon and I became fascinated with the whole polygamy thing," he said Monday. "Polygamy's still practiced in over 50 countries."
Set in the fictional town of Redwood Falls, Utah, "My 5 Wives" is not about the LDS religion but instead a lighthearted look at polygamy. It opens nationwide Sept. 8.
