-sigh- .. I too miss the 'rat pack' roasts.
Bob Hope, Dean Martin, George Burns, Joey Bishop..they were all class acts, it was hilarious how they all portrayed Frank Sinatra as basically a male mafia maven, ..the whole gang looked like they were havin FUN ..not hammering the crap outta someone.
I didn't see the Shatner roast .. kinda glad I missed it.
I would bet Shatner wished he had.
