Comedy Central roastees include Denis Leary, Jeff Foxworthy, Pamela Anderson, William Shatner, Flavor Flav, Bob Saget, Larry the Cable Guy, Joan Rivers, David Hasselhoff, Donald Trump, Charlie Sheen, Roseanne Barr, James Franco, Justin Bieber, Rob Lowe, Bruce Willis, and Alec Baldwin. The Roastee has just as much say in the creative process as the producers, including choosing a Roastmaster (Master of Ceremonies who fires the first salvos at the Roastee and introduces the other guests) and other Roasters. While it may look and feel spontaneous, it really isn't. Another series of roasts were hosted by Dean Martin in the 1970s (he was the roastmaster for all of them), and revived thanks to those late night Infomercials by Guthy-Renker. Only rarely have these been seen by the rest of the world, either in video offers seen on late-night TV or through Comedy Central, who got the rights to broadcast a few of them in the early 2000s. The standardbearers for the Roast are the New York Friar's Club, who have been roasting celebrities since the early 1950s.

Alright everybody, you know I kid, you know I kid. Andy, Cornell called, they think you suck. Stanley, you crush your wife during sex and your heart sucks. Angela, where’s Angela? Whoa, there you are, I didn’t see you there behind that grain of rice. Creed, your teeth called, your breath stinks. ![]() Kevin, I can’t decide between a fat joke and a dumb joke. Meredith, you’ve slept with so many guys, you’re starting to look like one. Michael: Jim, you’re 6’11 and you weigh 90 pounds. When Michael returns to the office, he has a few roasts of his own: We’re stuck listening to you all day, Stanley tried to die just to get away, well it’s true. Andy (singing to the tune of “What I Like About You”): What I hate about you, you really suck as a boss, you’re the laziest, jerkiest, and you’re dumber than applesauce.(Kevin yells “How small is it?”) If it were an iPod, it would be a shuffle! ![]() And one time, I walked in on him naked, and his thing is so small. He’s supporting about 20 Nigerian princesses.
