Comedy Central made history--and garnered its highest-ever ratings--when the cable channel invited busty actress Pamela Anderson to be the first female recipient of its time-honored celebrity roasts.
Perched on a white couch in a talk-show-like set, Pam proved to be a good sport as she endured hilarious insults on a variety of topics ranging from her notorious bad-boy lovers to her less-than-illustrious acting career, and, of course, those famously top-heavy assets.

Being the center of a roast such as this is actually an honor though I am sure this wasn't her idea.

 Shatner's Comedy Roast
Of course we're talking of the annual gala put on by US channel Comedy Central, in which they take a huge celebrity and haul him over the hot coals of comedy, thanks to anecdotes from comedians, colleagues and friends.
The last celebrity to be in the roast pit was Pamela Anderson, but this year's event promises to be even more hilarious and brutal.
Plus, they'll be plenty to roast him about: Over a 50 year career, Shatner has become an Emmy and Golden Globe Award-winning actor, director, producer, screenwriter, recording artist and author.

The purpose of the moon landing was to allow the Bush family to look on the moon for oil prospects and land acquisition, and also to provide a sanctuary for their own exclusive Freemason lodge, where they could plot the New World Order undeterred by earthly matters.
Date Posted: Aug 15, 2005 05:35 PM I think the comedy central roasts are a weak attempt to jump on the friar's club roast bandwagon.
The sad result of people watching that roast is that people like Courtney[cough/murderer/cough]Love and Andy Dick get more attention, which I'm sure we can all agree is the last thing anyone wants to happen.

 Comedy Central Roast of William Shatner - Associated Content
Although I have not personally seen the entire program, I have heard from numerous sources that the "N.Y. Friars Roast of Chevy Chase" broadcast on Comedy Central a few years ago was such a disaster that even Comedy Central acknowledged its failure and vowed never to air it on television again.
He's pretty funny (well, was, anyway) in those '80s comedy like "Vacation" and "Caddyshack." But from what I've seen of the program he really didn't understand the concept at all.
He's a good sport all through this roast - some of the jokes are truly brutal, ranging from verbal jabs at his alleged hairpiece to his singing career and of course his infamous acting chops.

 Amazon.com: Roast of Denis Leary Uncensored: DVD: Denis Leary,Jeff Garlin,Kevin Spacey,Elizabeth Hurley,Steve ...   (Site not responding. Last check: )
The 2003 Friars Club-style roast of actor-comedian Denis Leary was the highest-rated program in the history of the Comedy Central network (after South Park) thanks to its barrage of raunchy and frequently hilarious routines from top comics and Hollywood stars.
In the tradition of the New York Friars Club Roasts, Comedy Central's Roast of Denis Leary is deservedly the highest rated program to hit the cable network (next to South Park that is) as it shows the foul-mouthed, scathing comic getting a taste of his own medicine from his closest friends.
The first is that this program is a roast of a man who is known for his rants not bantor so the whole thing comes off flat because this is not the style of humor that Leary or his friends are known for.

 Chevy Chase, humiliated again. - By Virginia Heffernan - Slate Magazine
On Sunday night, Comedy Central broadcast September's notoriously scorching roast of Chevy Chase at the Friars Club in New York City.
Witnesses at the time had called the roast relentless, and, sure enough, the night's vituperation, a third of it deleted by the censor's screech, recalled Lord of the Flies.
Comedy Central, which has acquired the rights to broadcast many of the Friars Club's roasts, set up the show with a fl-and-white sequence of prison guards leading a figure in shackles through swinging doors.

 Comedy Central Roast of Pamela Anderson Uncensored! | PopMatters Television Review
Having lent her name and her almost permanently pained expression to Comedy Central's Roast in return for a sizeable donation to PETA, she took her charity to the next level by allowing it to become a benefit for one poor dumb animal in particular: Tommy Lee.
Personally, I was tired of Lee's penis by the time Roast Master Jimmy Kimmel had finished salivating all over it in his opening remarks, but apparently, each and every comedian on view felt either so intimidated or intrigued by Lee's celebrated trouser python that they all refused to let it lie.
Curiously, there were far fewer references to spousal abuse or Hepatitis C. Worse, Anderson not only gave her one-trick pony a thorough massage of his ego, she also allowed him to inflict his "music" on a captive audience.
