Phyllis Diller was hilarious, just because she’s so old. But I didn’t
think that Gilbert Gottfried was as funny as the
rest of the audience thought he was.

I appreciated
it—I wouldn’t say
I liked it. I thought
it was funnier to listen to how
the comedians interacted with each other than to
the joke itself.
Ami Einken, 27, Writer
I thought it was hilarious. It was interesting that the women—Sarah Silverman, Whoopi— had to go an extra step with the joke because women aren’t usually in the role of telling dirty jokes.
Greg Zuccalo, 37, Dancer
Gilbert Gottfried doing the roast was the only funny
part, just because of the reactions from
the crowd.
J. J. Huckitt, 30, Actor
I was sort of disappointed that Robin Williams didn’t do his version. But it was funny.
It makes me
want to go home and fuck my cat.
