It's probably not a huge surprise, but Joan Rivers's roast on Comedy Central last weekend "drew 2.8 million viewers, 32% fewer than for the previous one on the cabler." I know I didn't tune in for that one. Did you?
I did, however, greatly enjoy the Comedy Central roasts of Denis Leary and Bob Saget, and obviously the success of these things depends on how interested audiences are in seeing a particular celebrity be teased and insulted over and over again. There wasn't a ton of interest in Joan Rivers, apparently. So who should get roasted on Comedy Central?
Kathy Griffin was the roastmaster for Rivers's show, and I think sometime down the line, she herself would make a good roastee. I also think Steve Martin might make for a funny roast, and I'd like to see Jeremy Piven up there someday mostly because, well, he deserves it. Who do you want to see get roasted?
Stila
La Senza
Nuance
Neil Patrick Harris
1Hasselhoff
Lindsey Lohan
2George Clooney
the Olsons
Heidi & Spencer Pratt
3I bet anything that Spencer would try to fight someone before the first commercial break, and that Heidi would be trying to promote something retarded to benefit her "TO DO" plastic surgery wish list.
Perez Hilton, Billy Bob Thorton, Kanye West
4Joan's roast is the only roast I've ever been interested in watching. I really enjoyed it. It was absolutely hilarious.
5If female comediennes are heavily involved--such as Kathy & Joan--, I'll tune in, but I haven't had an interest in any other roast and totally have steered clear of them because they're normally such a D-list thing to do.
If they do Margaret Cho or Roseanne, I'll be back.
Neil Patrick Harris, Dane Cook, Greg Geraldo
6I would like to see Beyonce get roasted. Just to watch her squirm in her chair. And the roasters would be:
Greg Giraldo
7Nick DiPaolo
Jim Norton
Jeff Ross
Lisa Lampinelli
Lewis Black
Gilbert Gottfried
Jimmy Kimmel
Mike Epps
Cedric the Entertainer
Whitney Cummings
Sarah Silverman
