Are Comedy Central Roasts still a good show?
- Matthew Love
- Denis Leary. With a line-up primarily made up of straight, white guys, the Leary roast hearkens back to the boys' club feeling of the Friars' events — minus the elderly Jews.
- James Franco. "I can't tell if this is a dais or the line to suck Judd Apatow's balls," Sarah Silverman quipped during this recent roasts; as for the event, it felt like a press release for itself.
- Jerry Stiller. The biggest problem in the Jerry Stiller roast is…well, Jerry Stiller. The genial actor and comic is simply too nice to lay into with the sort of cuts-to-the-bone remarks required for these evenings, and you can tell everyone's having a hard time finding a good place to slip the knife in.
- Drew Carey. One of the few Friars Club productions to be broadcast on Comedy Central, this special features a number of older, revered comedians whom very few young viewers would know on sight: Kip Addota, Dick Capri, Alan King.

Roast Master: Jimmy Kimmel
The Roast of Pamela Anderson wasn't the first on the network (it was actually the third) but it was the one to put the series on the map. The special was expectedly raunchy and hilarious, and garnered plenty of attention given the performers who roasted her. The 2005 special features Courtney Love, Hugh Hefner, and Anderson's ex-husband, Tommy Lee. Anderson's history with Tommy Lee, which was depicted in the sometimes inaccurate Pam & Tommy, was unsurprisingly the topic that most of the roast...
Roast Master: David Spade
As expected, The Roast of Rob Lowe featured tons of jokes made at the actor's expense, and, for the most part, Lowe was a great sport. That includedjokes about his infamous sex tapes. The likes of Saturday Night Live's Pete Davidson, Lowe's Parks and Recreationco-star Amy Poehler, and roast veteran Jeff Ross made up the highlights of this panel. There was a surprise standout though as musician Jewel, who was a late replacement for Bo Derek, shined with a parody take on "You Were Meant for Me"...
Roast Master: Seth MacFarlane
Donald Trump had his very own roast in 2011, which featured Larry King, Whitney Cummings, Snoop Dogg, and even Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino. There were enough jokes that even had Donald's wife, Melania, hysterically laughing at her husband's expense. The comedians had Trump's reality TV series, The Apprentice,and his chain of hotels in their crosshairs, but they also included digs at Trump's famous hairstyle and his family. Although the jokes at Trump's expense were memorable and funny, it...
Roast Master: Kathy Griffin
If anybody can take a joke at their own expense, it's the late great Joan Rivers. She was one of the very few subjects of a Comedy Central Roast who roasted the other comedians and entertainers more than they roasted her. Though that should've been expected from a comedy icon so large she even got a TV show loosely based on her life in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. The comedian has never bitten her tongue and has always spoken her true, unfiltered thoughts, and that was no different in the 2009...
- Bill Engvall on Jeff Foxworthy. It's always satisfying when a roastee's career gets shredded, but particularly so when it's being done by a close friend.
- Greg Giraldo on Chevy Chase. The late, great Greg Giraldo was fearless any time he performed, whether it was on a roast (he did eight of them), a comedy club stage, or annihilating Denis Leary on "Tough Crowd."
- Norm MacDonald on Bob Saget. During one of the dirtier roasts, complete with many unprintable lines about Bob Saget's TV family. After an hour of jokes that wouldn't even be printable in Playboy, Norm MacDonald got up and did the most subversive thing of all: He went clean.
- Jeffrey Ross on Pamela Anderson. The Roastmaster General, Jeffrey Ross has been producing the show since the Friars Club days. He's great at saying the worst things about people but also making sure everyone has dinner, parties together, and stays friends.
Jul 27, 2018 · Roaster: Drew Carey. Roast: Hugh Hefner (2001) Despite being taped only a couple weeks after 9/11 (or maybe because of its cathartic timing), Hefner’s roast was easily one of the two or three...
