I was a little kid when these roasts first aired. Amazing what they got away with in terms of non-PC humor.

Anyway, this is one of the funniest bits I've seen. Falk is just the best...

That was funny. Perfectly clean. No foul language. Today’s comedians have lost that art. What is truly sad is that I believe Falk and Don Rickles are the only ones still alive and Falk has Altzheimer’s.

Ronald Reagan, Dean Martin, Jimmy Stewart, Frank Sinatra, George Burns, & Dom DeLuise — may you all R.I.P. and Thanks for the Memories.

Thanks for posting.

It’s sad to think that, except for Don Rickles, all of them are gone.

The Dean Martin roasts are jewels. We don’t see this kind of entertainment now.

Peter Falk is so damn funny.

He had the best line in Mad Mad Mad Mad World, when Sid Caesar finally breaks out of the hardware store.

“What’s the matter, what happened to you? What was ya, in some kind of initiation?”

The best.

Comedian Shecky Greene told about the time Sinatra saved his life. Shecky said as he was leaving a Las Vegas hotel to go to his car several guys jumped him in the parking lot and started to beat him. They kept beating him with no letup, and he was pretty sure he was going to die, then he heard Frank say “Ok, that’s enough”.
