LOL. Can somebody please explain this roast thing for me? Is it like a charity event where celebreties agree to get dissed publicly by comedians?
It was traditionally a Friar's Club thing for comedians and their celebrity friends...I have no idea if it's for charity or what. Here's a list of everyone they've roasted:
1904 - Will Rogers 1955 - Humphrey Bogart, Roastmaster Red Buttons 1958 - Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz 1968 - Johnny Carson, Roastmaster Alan King 1969 - Milton Berle, Roastmaster Alan King 1970 - Jack Benny, Roastmaster Johnny Carson 1970 - George Kirby 1971 - Joe Namath 1972 - Buddy Hackett, Roastmaster Johnny Carson 1973 - Milton Berle 1974 - Don Rickles, Roastmaster Johnny Carson 1974 - Johnny Carson 1975 - Jack Dempsey, Roastmaster Muhammed Ali 1976 - Frank Sinatra 1986 - Jerry Lewis 1987 - Phyllis Diller 1988 - Barbara Sinatra, Roastmaster Lee Iacocca 1990 - Zsa Zsa Gabor 1991 - Richard Pryor, Roastmaster Robin Williams 1993 - Whoopi Goldberg 1997 - Danny Aiello, Roastmaster Joy Behar 1998 - Drew Carey, Roastmaster Ryan Stiles 1999 - Jerry Stiller, Roastmaster Jason Alexander 2000 - Rob Reiner, Roastmaster Michael McKean 2001 - Hugh Hefner, Roastmaster Jimmy Kimmel 2002 - Chevy Chase, Roastmaster Paul Shaffer
But anyway the past few years everyone just started doing their own, like I think the Pamela Anderson one was something Comedy Central did, and I don't know who did that Emmitt Smith thing...

I love comedians who make me laugh at things I know I shouldn't be laughing at...
