Roast of Joan Rivers

That may have been the funniest part of the entire roast.

 

No one watching this?

Greg Geraldo was hilarious, Mario Cantone half and half and Tom Arnold currently bombing. So far so good overall though.

 

The best part of his roast isn't in that clip - when he tells the 9/11 joke, bombs, then goes into the aristocrats to get the crowd back.

 

Just got done with this. Very hit or miss. I wish they had some better candidates to roast. Joan Rivers, really, is too formulaic. If it's not about her age or her plastic surgery, it's about her vagina.

CC needs better people to roast. I'd take a roast of Howard Stern, Eddie Murphy and/or Tom Cruise just off the top of my head.

 

Somebody actually watched a roast of Larry the Cable Guy?

 

I'm sure Tom Cruise is the perfect candidate for a roast. Guy seems like he has an awesome sense of humor.

 

He was pretty funny in Tropic Thunder.

 

I don't know...I did like the line from Greg Giraldo (I think), who said, "Most comedians aspire to work in Las Vegas, Nevada; Bob Saget aspires to work in Hannah Montana." He also said, "They should have called the show 'Blackjack' because he started hitting on the Olsen Twins when they were eight and didn't stop until they were 21."

 

best roast ever was Betty White of Williams Shatner. Period.

 

"Have anyone who makes a joke about Scientology or my sexuality killed."

 

Gilbert Gottfried was a riot...

 

Just finished watching it. Wasn't too bad.

Jeffery Ross was great as always. I was pleasantly surprised at how good Brad Garrett and Whitney Cummings (whom all the others kept saying they didn't know who the hell she was) were.

I haven't seen all the roasts, but does it seem like Giraldo is always the opening act. He seems to be to these roasts what Greece is to the Olympics Opening Ceremonies.

Oh, and Joan Rivers' payback wasn't too bad either. Although, through the first minute or so, I thought she may have been "shooting" on all the roasters, but it soon became obvious that wasn't the case.
