Whitney Cummings was awesome. Mario Cantone - whose stand up routines I usually love - was being a little prick whenever someone ripped into him. What's with the bitchy facial expressions? It's a roast, jesus, lighten up.

On these roasts, you should either be funny because your jokes are, or because you're so much of a trainwreck, or some combination of both. Gilbert Gottfried was surprisingly enjoyable. And while I know it might be sacrilege in OSTS, I would've preferred Kathy as a roaster, and Lisa Lampanelli as the host. Overall pretty good, but not the best of the Comedy Central roasts.

They either should go the way of Saget roasts and focus on "younger" comedians like Ross and Giraldo and Lampanelli or should have went with Reiner, Billy Crystal, Rickels (there), Goldberg, Robin Williams, Tomlin.....the BIG names. Idk kind just looked like a mash up...I had high hopes but def one of the worst roasts.

As far as no celebrities there, I think that has to do with Joan's humor. She is not well liked. She knows it. Best of the night was Gilbert. I laughed at everything he said. Greg Geraldo was pretty funny too. Kathy, not so funny. She's losing her game. She needs to stick to her standup and her TV show and stop trying to branch out. Can't wait to read her book though.

I like her more if you just put her out there and let her go. If she has to read something pre-written or something, she's not as good.

As funny as she was on LKL, she kept doing that thing where she'd make a wry comment to Joan then immediately smile to let the audience know she was joking. It got a little tiring. But, she was much better on the roast because, well, obviously there wasn't a need to placate the audience.

It's the first one I thought Greg Girardo easily topped Jeffrey Ross' set. Also: Holy fuck, I hate Mario Cantone. He's probably the worst person I've ever seen on a roast. Including the old Dean Martin ones where they'd bring on someone like Omar Bradley

I am so gonna watch his special this sunday. I hope it translates to a whole set cuz he cracks my ass up. I really wish Lisa Lampanelli had been there though.

The delivery was just okay, and it got annoying with her laughing at all of her jokes, but the writing was the best of anybody there. I don't get the appeal of what Gilbert did. I was cringing; not laughing.

And for those complaining about the roasters, those from Joan's era are already gone. Since i watch Til Death, i was hoping Brad would be funnier, plus that someone would say that the only reason the show is still on is because of Joely Fisher's boobs, not another Ray Romano joke.

As annoying as Mario Cantone. I thought Whitney was pretty funny but I didn't think the AIDS joke was all that funny (the low T cell count). I just don't find making fun of disease all that funny, but that's just me I guess.
