Everyone gets so darn offended at every little thing anymore…And then there’s Blazing Saddles….. at least they haven’t been outlawed that yet.

I think the Dean Martin Show "roasts" are still around on YouTube, from the 60s or 70s, where all his many ethnic guest comedians would insult each other, and everyone laughed. That is how America was supposed to be. I think even Ronald Reagan may have been roasted on his show. Check it out! Definitely Don Rickles did many numbers on roastees.

Now that you mention Dean Martin’s roasts, one particular celebrity comes to mind- Don Rickles. If ANYONE was politically incorrect, it was him. Lol. He cracked me up every time I saw him.

There was only one Don Rickles…..
