...was by far the worst I've ever seen. After having to watch Burned 8 times I figured they must be building up to a great one. Why else make the special? But no it was quite terrible. Oh well there's always next time. Any favorites that are worth watching? At least Whitney Cummings was there, I love her.  |

I thought it was better than the Bob Saget and especially Larry the Cable Guy ones, at least, though still not great.
Shatner is still my favorite by far.

Carl Reiner was embarassing.
"Look everybody, I can swear on TV now! f***! Shit! I'm so cool!"
But at least Joan made up for it with a great finale.

That sounds more like him making a statement I think it's more a sign of what roasts have become. It's a contest to see who can swear the most. |

I haven't seen it yet.
Then again, I haven't even seen Larry the Cable Guy's roast yet.

The only good part was no Lisa Lampanelli.

Probably, she had dark hair and was the only woman under 40. |

Question about the CC roasts. Not sure if this goes here or the other one, but I thought the point of the roast was for the people to make fun of the person getting roasted not the other panelists or to do their stand-up routien (I give Gilbert a pass on that for doing the Aristocrats at Hef's because he wanted to get the crowd back after the 9/11 joke). And the roastee mocks the panel at the end

Jeffrey Ross, Carl Reiner and Joan Rivers were the ones that I really didn't mind. I thought they were pretty good.

I didn't think it was too bad...they seemed to have gotten a bunch of C-Listers for this one, instead of the usual B-Listers so I was a bit weary, but their material was good for the most part

My question is, how many of those people even actually know Joan Rivers? Weren't Roasts suppose to be friends digging into other friends? And not just a bunch of random ass, unfunny comedy hacks that can't get any other job...

Every time Comedy Central has a roast, it piques my interest, until the hype-machine starts, and then I can't even watch the network without being bombarded with ads about it, to the point where I would only watch it if my life depended on it.
Yes, its ok to advertise it, but the week of, there would be at least 8 commercials an hour about it, plus a countdown clock and a banner in the corner. Got way excessive.

Comedy Central should leave roasting up to the Friars Club.
A roast isn't about paying some C-list comedian to tell bad jokes. It's about making fun of the roastee in a good natured manner. The roasters should know the roastee personally before they're even allowed to roast.
That's the central flaw with the CC roasts. They're just illogical. And the people they roast certainly aren't the right ones. Larry the Cable Guy? Are you kidding me?

Oh, if you've given them your e-mail address (I did once for a contest), it gets worse. I must've gotten like at least 15 e-mails about it within the span of a week from Comedy Central. |

Seriously? that's f***ed up. I really, really try to like comedy central, but whenever they have something that I *may* like, they kill it with advertising. |
