Joan Rivers, to me, makes sense to roast. She's a well-known comedienne who deserves a good roast. But...they killed it with Jeff Ross and Greg Giraldo farting all over the place. The only good routines were Gilbert Godfried (as per usual) and Carl Reiner. Other than that, this was a shipwreck.
I say next year they start to roast funny people who matter. And what a better way to start than with Jon Stewart. I'd love to see the tables turn on him, especially if you get Stephen Colbert, Steve Carell, Rob Riggle, Rob Corddry...and hell throw in Gilbert Godfried just for the hell of it.

Why does every one hate Liza Lampanelli? I think she's awesome.

At least this one had some different people instead of the same unfunny people year after year (Liza Lampanelli being one of them).
Honestly I was more excited over Jeff Dunham getting a show.

Joan Rivers is good at deception. I mistook her for 55 and I'm sure she's much older. She said she was 76 at the end of the roast.

Why does every one hate Liza Lampanelli? I think she's awesome. Because her act is tired and repetitive. You shag black guys. A lot of them. Therefore, your vagina is huge. We get it. To me, its not so much Lampanelli as it is the other roasters. Her stand-up is hilarious, but at the roasts, the others tend to go back to the same crap every time.

Her standup seems exactly like her roast material, except that she doesn't have a specific target. She still talks about how "edgy" she is, how she loves black guys, and how she refuses to be "politically correct"(by the way, this is the most overused hook in the comedy industry). Shouting out racial epithets at the audience in a shrill voice isn't funny. At all. And that's all I've ever seen her do.

I have to note that I've only seen her stand-up once, and it was quite a while ago under the influence of, let's say, a substance that makes anything funny.

Lisa Lampanelli wasn't there which made the roast much better, IMO.
Tom Arnold was funnier than he had any right to be, though I think it was mostly because he messed up.
Gilbert Gottfried was excellent. Giraldo wasn't bad, the one girl - sorry, don't remember her name - was fine, the others... not so much. Joan, of course, was awesome. Overall, it was an okay roast. Not good, not bad, but okay.
