Most of the roasters poked fun of Franco's sexuality, while Hader's future after leaving 'Saturday Night Live' was a hot topic of discussion. Every year, Comedy Central puts together a dais of comedians and has-beens to make fun of one another and destroy a special guest.Renaissance man James Franco submitted himself before the Comedy Gods, allowing friends Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill and Bill Hader, among others, to roast him on Sunday evening at Culver Studios. The roasts are brutal dissections of a star’s’ career, punctuated with dirty language and poor taste, inspired by the traditional roasts at the New York Friars Club.Įvents from the roasts have become of the stuff of legend. At Hugh Hefner’s roast, comedian Gilbert Gottfried told the “ aristocrats” joke previously only shared between comedians. His sharing of the joke was so infamous, it spawned a documentary film about the history of “The Aristocrats”.

Flava Flav’s roast remind people that Flava Flav existed and that giant clocks shouldn’t be worn as statement jewelry. Even Republican presidential candidate Donald Drumpf has been roasted. In anticipation of this year’s roast of Rob Lowe, we here at Fandom have put together a list of some of the best Comedy Central roasts. Warning: Roasts are vulgar affairs, so reader discretion is advised. To many of us, Bob Saget is America’s TV dad.

#Watch roast of james franco comedy central tv As the patriarch of the Tanner clan on the long-running Full House, he taught Millennials all about caring, sharing, and family values. He also made us laugh at wholesome fun as the host of America’s Funniest Home Videos. His stand-up, however, is as far from wholesome as Norm MacDonald is from being funny. Saget’s stand-up is absolutely foul, and he has a reputation as one of the most potty-mouthed comedians in Hollywood. His career was ripe for a roast, and after the previous year’s less-than-stellar roast of Flava-Flav, Comedy Central pulled out all the stops. Saget got lambasted by some of the greatest roasters in the series’ history, including Greg Giraldo, Jeffrey Ross, and Brian Posehn. Hosted by fellow Full House alum (and total dreamboat) John Stamos, Saget’s roast was pure, filthy joy.

His jokes fit the tradition of roasting, going beyond the limits of good taste while still being funny. Part of what makes roasts so fun is the ability to laugh at things that are otherwise taboo. His joke about Jon Lovitz, in which he said “there hasn’t been this much Jew in a closet since Anne Frank” is both tasteless and hilarious.
