That was awesome.  Thanks for posting. 

Don Rickles took no prisoners.  Can you imagine him trying to pull that off today?

All the Dean Martin roasts were great, especially Rickles.

It's sad that we'll never see comedy like that again.  Did you see the comedic lineup at that table?  Jack Benny was a blast too.

I remember watching them as a kid, and then more recently on YouTube.  You'd have people like Jimmy Stewart, Lucille Ball, Bob Hope, Benny, Orson Wells, Frank Sinatra (when he was roasted), Rickles of course, John Wayne, several political figures of the day, Rich Little, etc, etc, etc.

Certainly the golden age before Political Correctness destroyed the country, and entertainment.
