ROSEANNE BARR & TOM ARNOLD REUNITE ON #ROSEANNEROAST

Tom Arnold & Roseanne Barr reunite on Comedy Central's #RoseanneRoast

"She went on Johnny Carson, she got validation from the King and that can never be taken away from her... I want you to know Roseanne, that you're my Johnny Carson. Thanks for letting me sit in your chair for a little while.". - Tom Arnold

So amazing to see Ex-Husband and Wife Tom Arnold and Roseanne Barr aka Rozilla (as per Gilbert Gottfried) reuinte on Comedy Central's #RoseanneRoast and be real civil about it. Funnywoman Barr received some real nasty shots from some of her Contemporaries including the likes of Gilbert Gottfried, Jeffrey Ross, Ellen Barkin, Seth Green, Carrie Fisher, Jane Lynch and Wayne Brady all paying their (dis)respects to the Golden Globe and Emmy Award-winning Comedian/Actress.  Despite Barr admitting on Twitter she was so nervous earlier that she chewed her nails off, she handled it all like a Champ, taking all shots with a smile.  

Upon finally taking the stage, Barr asked "Where the hell are the Stars? I must've pissed-off every Celebrity I know. I was in a Movie with Meryl Streep and I get Amy Schumer?".  Unafraid to shake things up, she continued, "Thank God for Jane Lynch... you are one ferocious B*tch, but I hate you because you're thin. But I guess I'd be thin too if all I ever ate was (delete expletive)!", taking aim one-by-one at her Roasters. 

Barr left on a high note telling the Audience, "If I can bury my hate for the likes of Tom Arnold, maybe there's a chance we could have World Peace", before delivering a condensed and tolerable version of Star Spangled Banner to wild applause.

Check Comedy Central Canada's Website for additional details, although unfortunately #RoseanneRoast wasn't available for live streaming on their Website.

In the meantime, you can stream it here.  Thanks to my Reader Kevin for sending this over!

JEFF ROSS ROASTS CANADA: STOP-OFF IN TORONTO ON SATURDAY

Jeff Ross in Toronto - February 2012

After years of being the butt of jokes as a New Jersey Boy, Jeff Ross now gets the last laugh.  The Writer/Actor/Comedian has gained notoriety for his work on the Comedy Central Roasts, a series of televised broadcasts in which Celebrities are insulted by their Peers in the name of Humour.  Pamela Anderson, Donald Trump, William Shatner, Joan Rivers, Flavor Flav, Charlie Sheen and Davis Hasselhoff are Celebrities we love to hate. They all have been "roasted" by Ross at some point in his appearances on the Comedy Central Roasts between 2005 through 2011.  He currently is the New York Friars' Club Roast Master General, a title few can earn only after years of proven biting insults.

Just for Laughs presents Jeff Ross Roasts Canada, which has the Funnyman touring Canada for the next week including a stop-off at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre in Toronto on Saturday, February 11, 2012. Audience members can be expect to get picked-on and laugh at the expense of others as well.  What could be more fun than that?  Click here for more information.

Ross was up as early as 6:00 AM beginning a day of Press which saw a stop at KISS 92.5 for the Roz and Mocha Show, where he donned a pink Justin Bieber Hoodie.  He stopped by CBC for a taping of George Stroumboulopoulos Tonight too, stopping to pose for Photos and Autographs - playfully drawing smiley faces and hearts on his personalizations.  Ross might be a big old Meanie on TV, but for his Fans he's nothing but a Softie.
