What can be said that hasn’t already been said when Bob Saget is on TV? Enthralling, hilarious, edgy, and compelling are a few words that come to mind that haven’t ever been said. I will go on record today however and say that because of Bob Saget, Comedy Central has had its best roast yet.

I’ll admit that watching a celebrity be roasted by the best in the business is great fun but when the roastee is also fellow comic and long time friend to the entire dias, I began to realize that I was watching something special. The Pamela Anderson roast is by far one of my favorites, and yet at times it appears that Anderson is only partly paying attention to the celebration. With Saget, it was like watching a group of buddies get together and screw around. There was no doubt that the former Danny Tanner was having a great time and would have loved to be nowhere else but on that stage.

Bridgette Nielsen, Farrah Fawcett, Courtney Love, and Tommy Lee all have something in common - they aren’t funny and they suck at reading live. For reasons unknown to me, those stars have all taken the podium at prior roasts and created what I believe to be the lowest point of each one. Well, watching Fawcett be out of her mind on TV is always good times. The Bob Saget Roast brought us what we’ve all longed for - a dias chock full of comedy professionals.

The professional that stole the show for me was Norm Macdonald. His very ballsy move to test his mastery of dead-pan delivery and timing with old-timey roast jokes - akin to what my 9-year-old has in his "101 Clean Jokes to Tell to Your Friends" book - had me in tears. Unfortunately, it seemed that the audience was split on whether Macdonald was a genius or an idiot. Already, I’m eager to get my hands on the DVD to hear the portions of Gilbert Gottfried’s roast that didn’t make the air.

I was very excited for this roast and did not disappoint. My only disappointment was the lack of Dave Coulier jokes. While John Stamos and Jeffrey Ross did dish a little heat Coulier’s way, nobody called him out on his continuing efforts to take his comedy on the road. Come on, Dave, cut-it-out.

Colin Quinn is wildly underrated. Comedy Central also should have never canceled his show, Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn. Those bastards. I would at least like to buy the DVD. Anywho, heres a clip of Colin Quinn Roasting Artie Lange on the Howard Stern Show.
