A roast is a form of humor in which a specific individual, a guest of honor, is subjected to jokes at their expense, intended to amuse the event's wider audience.
The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast is a NBC television special show hosted by entertainer Dean Martin from 1974 to 1984. For a series of 54 specials and shows, Martin would periodically “roast” a celebrity. These roasts were patterned after the roasts held at the New York Friars' Club in New York City. The format would have the celebrity guest seated at a banquet table, and one by one the guest of honor was affectionately chided or insulted about his career by his fellow celebrity friends.
This annual laugh fest from Comedy Central picks a particular celebrity each year as it's target. A panel is selected from the celebrity's peers and current, popular comedians to comically point out the foibles of the personal and professional lives of the celebrity in question.
Established in 1904, the Friars Club is one of the hottest private clubs in entertainment. From Sinatra and his rat pack to Robin Williams and Billy Crystal to Jerry Seinfeld and Chris Rock and Lisa Lampanelli and Howard Stern–all have passed through the doors of the Friars clubhouse–aka the Monastery–and into the time of their lives. The Friars have always entertained huge crowds and even back in 1910 they were getting mentions in the press about the “bawdy” comments at their classy Testimonial Dinners. Eventually, they realized they needed a private, behind closed doors, stag event–just the guys–so the members could get real down and dirty if they chose. They would select a guest of honor and let a group of top comedians go at them with the funniest–and sometimes dirtiest–jokes and comments imaginable. Yet everything was done under the aegis of the Friars favorite motto: We only Roast the ones we love!
