    The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast is a series of television specials hosted by entertainer Dean Martin and airing from 1974 to 1984. For a series of 54 specials and shows, Martin and his friends would "roast" a celebrity. The roasts were patterned after the roasts held at the New York Friars' Club.

    Frank Sinatra (1915 - 1998) was an American singer, actor, and producer who was one of the most popular and influential musical artists of the 20th century. He is one of the best-selling music artists of all time, having sold more than 150 million records worldwide.

    Dean Martin (1917 - 1995) was an American singer, actor, and comedian. One of the most popular and enduring American entertainers of the mid-20th century, Martin was nicknamed "The King of Cool." Martin gained his career breakthrough together with comedian Jerry Lewis, billed as Martin & Lewis, in 1946. They performed in nightclubs and later had numerous appearances on radio, television, and films. Following an acrimonious ending of the partnership in 1956, Martin pursued a solo career as a performer and actor. Martin established himself as a singer, recording numerous contemporary songs and standards from the Great American Songbook. He became one of the most popular acts in Las Vegas and was known for his friendship with fellow artists Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr., who formed the Rat Pack. In 1965, Martin was the host of the television variety program The Dean Martin Show, which centered on Martin's singing and comedic talents and was characterized by his relaxed, easy-going demeanor. From 1974 to 1984, he was roastmaster on the famous Dean Martin Celebrity Roast, drawing celebrities, comedians, and politicians. Throughout his career, Martin performed in concert stages, nightclubs, audio recordings and appeared in 85 film and television productions. His most iconic songs include "Ain't That a Kick in the Head?", "Memories Are Made of This," "That's Amore," "Everybody Loves Somebody," "You're Nobody till Somebody Loves You," "Sway," and "Volare."

    Don Rickles (1926 - 2017) was an American stand-up comedian, actor, and author, known primarily for insult comedy. A headline performer at Las Vegas hotel-casinos and peripheral member of the Rat Pack via friendship with Frank Sinatra, Rickles received widespread exposure as a frequent guest on talk and variety shows, including The Dean Martin Show, The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson, and Late Show with David Letterman.
    Peter Falk (1927 - 2011) was an American actor and comedian, known for his role as Lieutenant Columbo in the long-running television series Columbo (1968-2003), for which he won four Primetime Emmy Awards (1972, 1975, 1976, 1990) and a Golden Globe Award (1973). Falk was twice nominated for the Academy Award and won his first Emmy Award in 1962 for The Dick Powell Theatre. He was the first actor to be nominated for an Academy Award and an Emmy Award in the same year, achieving the feat twice (1961/62). He went on to appear in such films as It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World (1963), The Great Race (1965), Anzio (1968), Murder by Death (1976), The Cheap Detective (1978), The In-Laws (1979), The Princess Bride (1987), Wings of Desire (1987), The Player (1992), and Next (2007), as well as many television guest roles.

If you have watched all of the roasts you’d have noticed that the banter was back and forth, not just toward black people, but also White, Hispanics, Asians etc. nobody was spared or offended. It was sense of humor. Nowadays, even being polite is offensive to some. Back then these shows made everyone laugh. Today people use these to divide others. Today, it’s a shame that humor, past and present, is used to separate us more…

      Johnathon Winters would be hard comedian to learn how to be a comedian from since nearly every thing he did was spontaneous he did know what he was going to say until a few seconds before he said it.
      When on the The Johnny Carson show Johnny could had him one of several different objects he had hidden behind his desk. He told Johnny Winters what he was going to do that was all the preparation Winters got then Johnny would hand him something as obscure as a feather where by Johnny Winters could keep the audience laughing away both Carson an Winters could tell when the bit was starting to run cold even before the audience knew that’s how great their timing was from years of telling jokes to audiences of every type of person in the world that visited just to be a part of his audience

    Wow. Frank's speech at the end was The highlight of the whole roast. Dean has been my favorite since I was a little girl watching his shows with my parents. I'm glad Frank said that he wasn't a drunk. Too many people believed his act.
    Frank was humble and genuine, something we certainly don't see today. The entire dias would cry their eyes out of they could see what passes for comedy today and the woke BS where everyone is offended. Class act, every one of them.
    Thanks for the memories.

    Red Foxx was very cordial and polite. I met him around 40 + years ago in Hollywood driving down Franklin Street. He was wanting to cut in front of me where the street was narrowing down for street repairs. So I waived him on to cut in front of me. He signaled me to follow him to his beauty shop and introduced me to his staff.
    It was a beautiful shop with a bridge going over a small pond and invited me to have his cook make me dinner . Thanks Redd

    The Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts were the best, and this roast of Frank Sinatra might have been the best of them all. Here we are still watching, decades later, after every one of those gifted entertainers is gone. It’s 2024 as I write this, an interesting and exciting time to be alive in many ways. I strive to live in the present and look to the future, but when I feel like watching something on TV I usually go to TH-cam and find a show like this, or Johnny Carson, or Columbo. I find it so enjoyable, and it takes me back in time to the world I grew up in, and probably most who are watching this did as well. I’m thankful to be alive today, but to me those will always be the good old days… 😊

    This celebrity roast was a master class for expiring comedians. Most of today's comedians need to watch this and similar roastmasters to know that they do not have to make obscene gesters and spew vulgarity in order to get a laugh. All is needed for gut-busting laughter is a combination of comedic talent, quick wit, perfect timing, and a certain level of class. And surely, the comedians in this celebrity roast - most certainly and unequivocally - possessed those natural-born qualities, all in combination.
