Frances Fisher came out for the Comedy Central Roast of Roseanne that airs tonight at 10p because her old friend asked her to. The two worked together on her sitcom back in 1988 and have remained friends since. So is she worried for her? She said that “Roseanne Barr is not afraid of anything and that is why we love her!” Amen to that!
So what does the does she have coming up? She is starring in Stephenie Meyer’s The Host, she just wrapped Red Wing and she is about to start working in Catherine Hardwick’s Plush. But before we see her in all of those movies, watch her support her friend at Comedy Central Roast of Roseanne tonight at 10p!
On Saturday Comedy Central Roasted Roseanne and one of the Roasters from the special that airs this Sunday at 10p was the always funny Gilbert Gottfried. Before he told Roseanne what he thinks about her, I got to talk to him on the brown carpet that matched the one on her #1 rated show.
He told me he came out for the free meal (which I heard was catered by the always yummy Wolfgang Puck) and the paycheck. And I can’t argue with him because that is a good enough reason for anyone to do it.
Then I had to find out from him, whose voice is more distinguishable his or Roseanne’s? He said that both are their voices are so sexy that they should do a p0rn together. Something I would pay to see. But I can’t wait until then, so I got him to talk sexy to me and you have to listen what he said because it is such a turn on.
Before he went in to Roast Roseanne, I had to find out from him what else he is up to and he told me you can check out his website GilbertGottfried.com, his notorious Twitter account Real Gilbert, his book Rubber Balls and Liquor, listen to him read excerpts from Fifty Shades of Grey and his amazing article defending Daniel Tosh.
Now when it comes to him Roasting Roseanne or as he calls her Rozilla, all I will tell you is they saved the best for last because he was freaking hysterical. He had me laughing so hard, I spit up drink and I am normally a swallower.
On Saturday night Comedy Central taped their Roast of Roseanne and her ex-husband Tom Arnold was a surprise Roaster at the show that airs this Sunday at 10p. No one but Arnold, Barr and a few others knew he was going to be at the show. In fact according to what he told TMZ, he wasn’t even sure he was going to do it until the last minute. Roseanne Tweeted her side of how it happened, by saying “I invited Tom Arnold2 roast me-he was afraid& his publicists insisted he NOT do it-but after I assured him it would be tame, he came.” Then she added, “Tom Arnold and I have a lifetime restraining order from each other-so there is no way he would ever have just showed up/ violated that”. Tom Arnold responded to that by saying, “Hahaha!” And that was how I reacted to his Roasting of Roseanne. He has matured a lot since their marriage and divorce and kept his part very classy and extremely funny. As he ended his time, he said something so sweet about Roseanne that you can tell he got choked up about it and so will you. That is until after the commercial break because Gilbert Gottfried will having you shedding tears of laughter. All I will tell you about that is one word and that word is “Rozilla!”
So tune in to the Comedy Central Roast of Roseanne this Sunday at 10p to see two exes reconnect after 18 years, in one of the worst forums to have such a reunion. Well it was bad for them, and great for us! I promise you won’t be disappointed.
On August 12th Roseanne will finally get what some people have been dreaming of doing to her for a really long time, Comedy Central is going to Roast the sitcom Queen. Although Tom Arnold and the cast of Roseanne will not be sitting on the Dais, Comedy Central announced today just who will be there to throw some jabs at the Presidential candidate. Her TV mother-in-law’s real life daughter Carrie Fisher will be there, along with Katey Sagal who lost out on Emmys to her, Sharon Stone who once guest starred on the top rated sitcom will show us just how funny she is and finally Seth Green most likely stole Seth MacFarlane’s invite to be on the show. So now we know which actors will be joking around with her, which comedians will be showing up too? They are Anthony Jeselnik, Jeffrey Ross and Amy Schumer. I have to admit this is the best Dais I have seen for a Comedy Central Roast in a while, that I can’t wait to cover the red carpet on Sunday! I don’t know what it is, but I just love Roseanne Barr Thomas Arnold Pentland.
Roseanne Barr was on Late Night yesterday and Jimmy Fallon challenged her to a game of Password. The Presidential candidate and the host had to guess a word from clues given to them by an audience member. Fallon’s audience member said pink and he said singer. Then it was the comedian’s turn and her person said bird. Of course now you know what the word is, but she thought it was vag!na. How she got there from pink bird, I have no idea but then again who has any idea what she does most of the time.
