The Comedy Central Roast of William Shatner
HILARIOUS. Luckily I watched the Pamela Anderson one last night so I was prepared for how raunchy it can get. Interestingly enoughly the Pamela one from last night was not bleeped (except for when someone said "Coke.").
WOW. They hold nothing back, do they?
LOVED IT.

It was without a doubt the funniest thing I have seen on any channel in a very long time. Lisa Lampanelli KILLED!

I thought it was fairly funny.
My favorite joke (delivered by a guy who's name I can't even remember sitting here this morning since I'd never heard of him before)... Addressing George Takei:
"So George, When you came out of the closet, did the doors go, 'ssshhhhhiiiikk'?"

When are they going to play the uncensored version without all the bleeps?

Usually Saturday at 1, about a week or two after the first performance. But I checked tivo and didn't see it yesterday.

I think George Takei had one of the best sets. Very surprised by how well he took to all the gay jokes. And the uncensored stuff is just part of Comedy Central's Secret Stash. Who knows when this will end up on there, it took quite a while for the Pamela Anderson Roast to show up as they almost exclusively show South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut during that time slot.

I agree that Takei's set was among the best. I always wonder how they decide which really old actress and which washed up sex symbol they use each year. I could totally see them taking them out of a hat:
"OK and this year's Golden Girl is ... OK, Betty White. Make sure she's not dead yet."

This was absolutley the worst show I've seen in a long time. Bits weren't funny (one or two, maybe), and there was WAY too much roasting of people other than Shatner. Not worth the time. Bleh.

she had a show on recently, it was her regualr stand up routine about an hour or more, if you thought she was good on the shatner roast you really need to watch that if it reruns sometimes.

He's got a great sense of humour. He's been a guest 'announcer' on The Howard Stern show twice (for a week at a time) since Stern went to Sirius. He's always entertaining when he's on. Which reminds me, how did Artie Lange do on the Roast?

Artie did ok. I was expecting a total flop considering how completely wasted he was, but he pulled it out. He didn't go up and shake Shatner's hand though after he was done, which was very tacky.
Andy Dick was, as always, the worst. I still have no idea how that guy ever got work and continues to get work. What Ben Stiller saw in him, I have no flippin' clue.

I was pretty entertained. It was well worth the time spent watching.
I thought the bits were a bit too heavily weighted towards everyone but the guest of honor though.

I thought Rene Auberjonais' reactions at ringside had the ring of real unrehearsed hilarity at some of the more risque jabs.

Really? I didn't realize they play unbleeped versions. Too bad I already burned 2 copies of this to DVD-R for myself.

Tivo recorded this for me at 12 midnight this morning (there were conflicts on Sunday night.) I haven't watched it yet, but the description says its rated TV-MA so I'm hoping mine is the unbleeped version.
According to the guide, there's another showing this Saturday 8/26 at 12 midnight EDT (I wonder if that's early Saturday or early Sunday?) It's rated TV-MA-L. You should try and pick that one up.

I listened to the clips on the Howard Stern show this morning. Greg Giraldo killed and Jeffrey Ross was pretty funny too. "Speaking of Shatner, Betty White just shatner pants!"

+2. I can't recall him ever saying anything I found funny. Name suits him, though.
George Takei was hilarious, and a good sport.

I'm pretty sure any showings at midnight Eastern will be bleeped -- they run all their unbleeped material after 1:00 A.M. Eastern so that it's within the post-10:00 P.M. "safe harbor" hours even for satellite viewers in the Pacific time zone.
Since it's the one I TiVoed via my satellite dish here in the Pacific time zone, I can report that the final showing on Sunday evening was rated TV-MA-L, but was bleeped.
It'll probably be a couple of weeks until they start showing the unbleeped version, if I recall correctly from the Pamela Anderson roast last year -- they want to get as many people as possible to watch both versions.

I was hoping for so much more. The beginning was pretty good, had a lot of "The Office" moments with Nichelle Nichols. Agreed about not roasting the guest of honor, I thought it was a George Takai roast after a while. What was up with Fred Willard? Only one person ragged on him, was he a late entry or something? Farrah, , , 
I don't get how the gays always seem to be affiliated with pedophelia? That was just wrong and not funny in my book, and I'm not even gay!
Andy Dick, please stop hiring him for anything stand up, use him on shows like News Radio where he is just quirky, not bizzare.
In general, I liked the first half hour, then, if I had missed the rest, I wouldn't have missed much.

mmmmm
I need to see this still. I completely spaced that it was on. I want to see the uncensored one of course. There's no point in watching anything censored. I wish they'd just stop all the bleeping and let people say what they want.
I need my nichelle nichols fix! Rene aubergine is a great ol' poof, he has an awesome sense of humor.

Apparently nobody saw my original post. The unbleeped versions are Comedy Central's Secret Stash. This weekend's stash is Friday with Ice Cube and Chris Tucker. I have only seen three different things make the stash before this: Pamela Anderson Roast, South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut, and Eddie Murphy: Raw.
I'm looking at the page and they list quite a few more movies, but I doubt the Shatner Roast makes it any time soon. Comedy Central's Secret Stash Website.

George Takei is awesome-he is always funny on the Howard Stern Show.
my favorite lines of the night?
"When did you go from Captain Kirk to Captain Crunch? You went from TJ Hooker to PF Changs! Do you work at Boston Legal or Boston Market?"

all roasts are like that... where you rag on anyone in sight that you have a joke for. I get the impression that alot of people don't like william shatner... and usually, the less you like someone, the less you tell jokes about them, lest your true colors show thru. Maybe that's why it seemed like there was less shatner roasting. But George Takei really hates shatner, and you could tell those jokes were from the heart.
Also, they probably edit out at least 40% of the roast, so who knows what the true ratio is.
I liked the roast. I liked the benstiller/sarasilverman bit with the priceline mishap. I thought Betty White rocked. Farrah was lame.
For the uninitiated, Lisa Lampinelli says she only sleeps with black guys... so that explains those black guy jokes. The upside, they leave alot of bling in her c@#$. too funny.
Artie was funny, but i thought it was annoying he was laughing at his own jokes.
I also loved the shatner singing montage... he's so bad it's funny... Rocket Man. He took himself so seriously.

My random thoughts.
I thought Artie was the worst. Too much plugging for Howard's show, and he wasn't funny.
George Takei (pronounced like toupee), had me in tears.
Andy Dick is useless. Unfunny, and always tries to steal the spotlight.
Patton Oswald was not funny to me either.
And when Nichelle said "My black ass!", I fell out! I wasn't expecting that at all.
During the 'Rocket Man' showing, I kept thinking of Stewie from Family Guy.

Jeff Foxworthy roast has been aired uncensored. And the Pam Anderson roast didn't take long to make it to the uncensored version. Less than 2 weeks IIRC.

I thought this was fairly funny. Not nearly as funny as the other Comedy Central roasts though. I think the roast they did of Hugh Hefner, Pam Anderson, Drew Carey and Jerry Stiller were a whole lot funnier. Are these roasts no longer "Friars Club" roasts? I think they get a better class of comedian when they are Friars Club sponsered (I am pretty sure that Jeffrey Ross is a big deal in the Friars Hierarchy). I think the problem sometimes stems from them getting people on these roasts who don't know the Guest of Honor. It's hard to make fun of someone if you don't have any real connection to them. The fat jokes and the speech pattern jokes got old after the first couple. I also find it amazing that they get away with all those gay jokes, and I think George Tekai is a great sport.
Anyone else think Farrah was wasted? I think if she cleaned herself up a bit, she's still look REALLY awesome, and she's gotta be pushing 60!
BTW, my Tivo stopped recording somewhere in the middle of Lamponelli, did Shatner make a speech and blast everyone which is traditional?
