There are pics out there, too! I'd imagine the dress and hair discussion will show up in the pictures thread soon.

Apparently some people don't like what she had to say. Oh well.

I went to go do my Jewel search to see if I missed anything else boardworthy this weekend, and the Ann Coulter fangirls/boys have shit everything all up.  Seriously, it's a roast, and that's how they work.

Whatever, at least Jewel's back in the news.  There's no such thing as bad publicity, right?

Being a Canadian I had no idea who Ann Coulter was, so I looked her up. Sounds like she got roasted more than Rob Lowe at this thing. Some really nasty stuff. But yeah, it's called a 'roast' for a reason. I really want to see this now!!!

Spoiler: show

"I was fired from the show for not sucking his face, where Rob was fired for just sucking." – Jewel

"Years later Rob wrote in his memoir that I was the only girl in history who did not want to kiss Rob Lowe...Rob I know you always wondered why I didn't want to kiss you that day, so tonight I will tell you why in song." – Jewel

To the tune of "You Were Meant for Me""Rob was so shocked/ On the Lyon's Den/ When I did not/ Want to kiss him/ You see, the problem, Rob, is you're such a w---e/ You completely forgot/ We hooked up before." – Jewel

From the EDA Inclusive:

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.

I already pretty much knew there were writers for this, but I was a little butthurt to hear it first hand.

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   That would have been a good roast joke!

Still trying my best to avoid spoilers on this (not easy when you follow Jewel and David Spade on Twitter!), and found out that it will be shown in the UK on Comedy Central this Friday night (Sep 9) at 10pm. Just in case there are other folks from here lurking on the forum!

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.

Awesomesauce! Let me know if it gets on the Tube... I couldn't get this channel so I missed the whole thing.

It was a tough room and she totally bombed. I actually felt sorry for her at one point.

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.
