The Rob Lowe Roast! Well, this was a brand new venture for me. One I wasn't quite sure how to tackle. My hard-core fans already know I have a love for making people laugh in my shows- often weaving dark stories from my own life with humor. But this was the first time I was asked to just have a go at a room full of virtual strangers. The whole concept of the roast is a weird one- people tune in to watch people hurl insults at each other. But I believe the spirit of the roast is to go for it, as they say, and so that's what I did. It felt like putting a character on where you were in a universe where it somehow felt like the standard was to be insulted and to insult, all in the name of comedy. I was given staff writers and they helped craft jokes. I was amazed at the talent of these groups of writers I collaborated with. I know there has already been a lot of controversy about the roasts focus on Ann Coulter. Here is my take on it. First of all, I wish no harm to Ann, or to anyone else on the stage. We all are adults that made the decision to do the show, and Ann knew exactly what she was signing up for. She is an incredibly bright woman. She also knew she had no association with Rob, and agreed to do the show knowing she would be a lightning rod for jokes as the only political pundit up there, and she was free to write jokes and have jokes written to give it back. Ann was transparent about her reason for doing the show- the opportunity to showcase her book, and to be the headline. She is very savvy, and I personally am impressed with how she played it- it stirred up her base and promoted her book and she got every headline, all while looking like the innocent. Her mentor Trump would be proud, I think. I knew every comedian would have jokes about her, and the rest of us. As for me, I tried to keep it even, trust the writers I was working with, trust the concept and premise the show was founded on, and do my best to deliver the lines with good timing and feel. I have no idea how it went, and I guess we will see how it comes out once it's all edited, but my friend Jessica was there and she did check in with Ann before she left, and she seemed fine, as did everyone else.
I can confirm that I checked with Ann and she's just as crazy as she's always been. :P
I like her analysis of it - Ann was there to hog all the attention for herself and she did, so good for her. Well put.
"Her mentor, Trump, would be proud." OUCH :lol: That would have been a good roast joke!

Jewel absolutely killed it!
Jewel absolutely killed it! I could have done without the song, but she did a great job delivering that monologue of sick burns.
Ann Coulter was given better jokes, but she decided to do original material. Bad idea and it showed.
I really don't know who Ann Coulter is, but I can see one clear thing about her, she doesn't know how to "receive" jokes/roast. It's clear she doesn't know how to react or look. I'm sure it's not easy but she did choose to go.
