It was a fun show. I later found the jokes were scripted ahead of time, and what we saw on TV was just a sampling of the actual roast not shown.
Today it would make the snowflakes and fainthearts melt and faint.
“Uncle Ben, who was a credit to the RICE, never got a dinner!”
Sadly now he doesn’t even have a box.
Some of the guests were on just for publicity. I remember one show when Glen Campbell was on.
He went to the podium and said...”HI! I’M GLEN CAMPBELL!” Crowd roars in applause. Cut to commercial. And that was it from him.
