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!

COMEDIAN GILBERT GOTTFRIED IN TORONTO FOR YUK YUK'S SHOWS

Gilbert Gottfried in Toronto - February 2012

Veteran Comedian Gilbert Gottfried might as well be known as Gilbert Gotfired with the string of misfortunes he has encountered throughout his career, but through it all he has remained true to himself and resilient. The unapologetic New Yorker's Career has seen extremes from voicing Iago in Disney's Aladdin, to being criticized for his controversial remarks made after last year's tragedies in Japan and also 9/11.  

I caught-up with the charismatic Gottfried who was full of energy at 7:00 AM following an appearance at KISS 92.5, where he promoted his series of five Shows this weekend at Yuk Yuk's Comedy Club - 224 Richmond St. West, Thursday, February 23, 2012 at 8:00 PM, Friday, February 24, 2012 and Saturday, February 25, 2012 at 8:00 and 10:30 PM. 

Sipping on some Starbucks, Gottfried graciously stopped and posed for a few Photos for Senior Producer @PlanetMaurie in front of the Studio, before heading off for what would be a taxing day including more Press.

Watch Gottfried's Interview this morning at KISS 92.5 here.  Follow him on Twitter here.
