Not too bad of a show although Tyson gave the situation a run for his money for worst roaster.

Also caught 2 and a half men, and wow it's worse than I thought it would be. 2 Broke Girls though wasn't bad though.

No way, dude his joke about the Iliad and not being the only one to copy Homer to McFarlane was genius! I also like the young white dude, pushed the limit but not into 'make fun of the dead guy' territory.

Best:
Anthony Jeselnik the blonde new dude did very well. He had some awesome cutting remarks and just went for it. Liked his delivery too....he could be a new up and comer IMO. Lovitz was pretty decent. I actually thought Kate Walsh had a nice run too. Jeffrey Ross always puts together a nice one.

Average:
Seth MacFarlane, did a good job at hosting. Shatner was good, gave some "words of wisdom" to Sheen. He really is a funny guy. Amy Schumer really went for some deep stabs....which I like, but at time wasn't on too.

Weird:
Mike Tyson.

Sucked:
Steve-O sucked. Patrice O'Neal struggled too. Neither of these guys were funny at all with their "schtick." Nor are they ever funny as comics for that matter anyway. Steve-O needs to stick to the regular things he does on J.A.

Overall, I give it a B- to be truthful.

I still like the Bob Saget one the best. That one was great.

I liked the comments about Charlie "winning" except for when it came to a custody hearing for his kids. the only time his kids could see him was during re-runs.

Not sure how Shumer's joke about Ryan Dunn is any worse than Ross' joke about how he hopes Jeselnick is the the next Greg Giraldo.

Some of those early roasts on Comedy Central were just classic...Greg Giraldo, Jeff Ross, Whitney Cummings, Lisa Lampinelli and Gilbert Godfried. Those five were just unbelievably funny roasters. Some of those I had tears rolling I was laughing so hard.

Yep, Jesselnek will join that list, that guy is hillarious.

Remember when they had actual comedians do these roasts? That's why Jeff Ross is far and above EVERYONE on that stage. He actually knows how to make people laugh. Unlike anyone that they pick for these roasts anymore. If you think that blonde chick (Amy Shumer?) was funny, I consider that false. And that blonde dude was so damn slow when he talked it took twice as long for him to go. As for everyone but Jeff Ross it was terrible.

They played that one over the weekend. I agree with it being the best. Best line of the Sheen roast for me and, I think it was the Jeselnik who said it. "The only reason you got on tv was because a god hates Michael j Fox"

"Over the top" and "Too far" is Schumer's schtick. She's awesomely funny. What, the Dunn joke was in bad taste because she said something that you were thinking or something that you and your friends probably said? IMO, Dunn and Steve-O made a career of making an *** of themselves and not taking themselves seriously. Nearly all the stunts they did could have killed one of them. One of them gets loaded and throws his 911 off the road and all of a sudden thats hands off for comedy?

Ryan Dunn would have wanted to be made fun of.

I made that up but a guy like that probably wouldn't much care.

Maybe not if it's actually funny but it wasn't. It was pretty generic and everyone saw it coming a mile away. As soon as she said Ryan Dunn, I knew where she was going. Call me sensitive but I think mocking someones death directy to one of his best friends not long after it happens crosses a line somewhere.
