Comedy Central's next roast: Bob Saget

This has the potential to be absolutely amazing. I happened to see Bob Saget do a comedy show and he is very vulgar and crude yet hilarious. I definitely hope Jeff Ross and Patton Oswalt get in on this one too, as they've been killing at roasts lately. Carrott Top is always good for a joke or two also.

 

Now this, folks, is how to turn a two-inch story into a six-inch story. Repetition, repetition, repetition. I think it's set to air in August, but I'm not sure who the roasters will be.

I'd like to see a lineup of

Lange
Lampanelli
Ross
Giraldo
Quinn
Norm McDonald
Oswalt
Kimmell
Silverman

Unknowns can be good. I had never heard of Lampanelli until about two years ago.

 

Wonder if there will be any jokes about Kimmel and Silverman breaking up?

Kimmel really was f*cking Ben Affleck!

 

Because Stamos is the bigger star. He was the first person cast by Jeff Franklin -- the creator of the show -- and had a say in who was hired to fill out the ensemble. Saget was actually the first and second Danny Tanner; he was cast, then had to pull out, then the pilot had to be reshot after Saget got fired from another show and hired for Full House.

 

I wonder if he found my underwear in her mailbox. Uh-oh. ...

 

I knew Mikey would be around these parts ...

 

It was like a signal. A big house in the sky.

 

If anyone was going to provide such insight, it would be him...

 

You watch the making-of and the behind-the-scenes and read the Web sites enough times, it's easy to retain the information and regurgitate it onto a screen.

 

The only problem I see with this is that the roasters probably won't be able to make too many jokes about Saget he hasn't already told himself.
