Additional Comments: Anyone else catch this last night on Comedy Central? I think Bob Saget is one of the worst actors that I have ever seen. But I have to tell you that the comedians that spoke were pretty funny, except Norm McDonald. He just didn't have it. Cloris Leachman was hillarious. But my main focal point was watching my teen-and still heart-throb...JOHN STAMOS. Gosh is he easy on the eyes! After all these years, he his still a hunk!

How fun that someone posted about this!! I make it a point to see all these Comedy Central roast shows, and really enjoy them (for the most part, anyway). Now of course, before you start watching you HAVE to turn off your inner "parental control" button; they are FILTHY and everyone tries to one-up each other in their nasty, filthy, pornographic stories/remarks. (I think Gilbert Gottfried always beats the rest of them on that score.) Is anyone else a fan??
The first one of these I watched was William Shatner's, and I was not prepared ahead of time; I was shocked! But, since then, and especially after watching Pamela Anderson's (whose was the filthiest so far, IMO - and the one the channel repeats the most so it must be popular!), I'm pretty jaded/used to it. Oh - watching these introduced me to Lisa Lampanelli, for which I'll always be grateful. One of her stand-up acts that they repeat a lot late at night is HILARIOUS - my absolute favorite, and I can watch it over & over.
To be honest, I thought Saget's was a little tame, or more tame at least, compared to Shatner's or Anderson's. But it had its moments, and I agree, Cloris Leachman was great. I LOVED her opening line about agreeing to attend not to meet Bob Saget but to *fu__* John Stamos - HA!! She also took all the ribbing about her very well. (Bea Arthur was at the Anderson one, and maybe the Shatner one too, and she didn't seem to be sitting too well with every remark about her. Of course they TOTALLY beat her up ... who hasn't heard an "old" or "ugly" joke about Bea Arthur anyway, from just about every comic around??)
And for anyone who's heard about Bob Saget in the years since he left "America's Funniest," you know that he has one of the filthiest mouths in the business, and loves telling really nasty jokes. What a turnaround! Or, at least the side of him he was never allowed to show on his two TV shows.
Has anyone else seen that movie (whose name escapes me at the moment) about "the oldest joke there is," with all kinds of comics giving their version of the joke/story? Saget has a key part in it, maybe even narrating it (though my memory's foggy now). I think that's where I first heard his nasty side. Or maybe it was on a late-night talk show. His appearances on Conan O'Brien were real eye-openers for me - they had to bleep him like crazy! Conan had such fun acting aghast at how far he's come from his tame TV shows.

it was like looking at a train wreck with bodies spewed all over the place. bob saget is a foul mouth pig. cloris leachman took it all in stride and she spewed right back at those so-called comics. she pretty much put them in their place and she looked like she was having fun.
norm mcdonald. WTH?? no reason for his wasted air space. what a loser. had nothing to contribute. his time has come and gone.
yeah, bob saget kinda turns my tummy. ick.
LOVE JOHN STAMOS. cookie, yummy.

Message: I would love to see it, but I don't have cable/sat. As to John Stamos, did you see him on his first (could be only) Oprah appearance back in the mid to late eighties? That is when he caught my attention. She asked him what he'd be doing if he weren't famous/acting... He did this great hand motion of flipping burgers and explained that he'd be working at (his Dad's, I think) restaurant. What a doll. And by the way, I don't remember anyone else who appeared on that show--they were all up and comers and I don't know if they faded off into obscurity or if they were just not as memorable. Hmm, I may just toddle off to IMDB to check it out.

Message: Only caught a small portion of it when some jerk was really rude and seemed to be roasting Cloris Leachman. He said some really nasty things about her, her age and how she looked. I changed the channel.
