MANDATORY VIEWING OF THE WEEK
Roast of Bob Saget -- 10/9c on Comedy Central (Re-Airs at 11:30/10:30c)
It’s deplorable to admit, but Comedy Central’s roasts have rarely been anything short of hilarious, no matter the roastee. Bob Saget, however, has been unwittingly begging for a roast ever since his Full House years. And speaking of his squeaky-clean, uber-corny phase, Saget’s Full House costar John Stamos (aka Uncle Jessie) serves as the Roast Master. Roasters include Susie Essman (Curb Your Enthusiasm), Tracy Morgan, Artie Lange (who was reportedly admitted to rehab just days after the taping; shocker), and veteran Jeffrey Ross, who drew the ire of Saget by taking shots at his former TV daughters, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen (who will not be appearing), when the roast was taped.
