No Greg Giraldo, no sale.
Also, some idiot from The Jersey Shore, double no sale. Seriously, what a horrible dais, Whitney Cummings and Jeff Ross are the only ones up there with an ounce of comic talent.

Echoes my thoughts completely, although Seth MacFarlane might be able to pull off hosting duties (even though I don't think he's all that funny).

I'll probably watch but with low expectations. The roastee is bad choice. Seriously, how many jokes can you make about a billionaire living a better life then everyone in the room? It'll be a bunch of stupid hair jokes.
The dais sucks. Most of them aren't even comics and they're just there so that the comics can "sub-roast" them.

All the same jokes about the Dais regulars with a few Donald jokes thrown in. I've had my fill of these and have to pass.

Greg Giraldo and Jeff Ross were the only funny roasters in previous years, so now they are down to one good roaster! And how many recycled 'Lisa Lampanelli likes black guys' jokes will we hear while she laughs hysterically in her chair!

No kidding, he was always my favorite. Gilbert Gottfried ususally shined in these as well, he's missing too. It will be interesting to see how far Trump will go.
Is this the unedited version? Usually it's edited the first airing and then later in the middle of the night or something they show the unbleeped version.
ETA: Speaking of Gilbert, I just read he said the following: "I just split up with my girlfriend, but like the Japanese say, 'There'll be another one floating by any minute now.'" That's roast caliber writing there.

Yeah, that was awesome. I love how he relentlessly comes in with the jokes, one after another, without ever quite giving the audience enough of a pause to move from uncomfortable laughter to groans or boos. By the time they are able to process how disturbing the joke he just told was and feel guilty for laughing he's already telling the next one.

reportedly The Situation bombed so bad that other comedians were coming up to make jokes while he was up there. Can't wait to see that.

Per Lisa's twitter, nothing was out of bounds for the Trump roast and he was really cool about it (and theres a tribute planned for Greg Geraldo as well.

If I wanted to see a buch of monkeys fling shit at each other, I'd go to the zoo.
These roasts are akin to a first grade "Oooh, he said poopy" level. But without the cleverness.
Give me the Dean Martin Roasts any day...

Snoop was awesome
On a related note, The Situation's publicist or agent must be dumber than he is to expose him to this.
