I was so anxious for this this roast to be released. Yeh, it’s a blast to glimpse Shatner talking trash and getting trashed. But that 1 slight tiny allotment of film with Nimoy and Shatner that opened the expose IS NOT THERE!!!!!!!!!!

WHY THE &*%$# NOT?
That one single diminutive is a incandescent cramped bit of comedy, brilliantly executed by two people who have been known for their love/hate relationship, and absolutely worth the designate of admission. I would select a DVD of that bit alone. I am sorely dissapointed.
Just so you know, there are several JOKE SPOILERS here.

I saw this uproarious roast of William Shatner several times when Comedy Central aired and re-aired it last August. After the wickedly comic Comedy Central verbal drubbing of Pamela Anderson last year (2005), I was wondering who they were gonna place next in the chair of humiliation. Well, it turned out to be Captain James Tiberius Kirk himself. I conception the opinion of the iconic and self-mocking William Shatner was a intelligent follow-up and a chance for the roasters to really outdo themselves. Now, I haven’t seen this uncensored version yet (there was a Shatner roast pay-per-view, but I wasn’t about to set out the chump change for it), so I’m basing these comments on the edited television release by Comedy Central, not on the forthcoming dvd. Being a completist kind of fella, odds are I’ll amend this “review” as soon as I gain the genuine dvd in my paws. But, for now…
William Shatner must be blessed with towering self-esteem, along with a very interested sense of humor, to have withstood all the verbal onslaught and composed near out intact and laughing; the roasters absolutely took no pity on him, and, yet, there Shatner was, chortling and seemingly having the time of his life. George Takei and Nichelle Nichols relate the new Star Fling cast in person, while Leonard Nimoy opens the festivities with a video clip conversation with Shatner, even managing to net a dig in as he tries to talk his obsolete shipmate out of doing the roast (“Why are you doing this? Is it for the food? “) . Takei, by the blueprint, comes in as a well-humored and thick-skinned dude and, for his occupy portion, gleefully aims several well-honed, gut-busting zingers at his fellow roasters (unpleasant Farrah Fawcett) ; having unprejudiced arrive out of the closet in October 2005, in Frontiers magazine, he actually takes almost as many shots as Shatner. However – and this fair may be me being influenced by all the rumors of the animosity which Shatner’s Star Inch co-actors held for him – I did sense a definite tension between Shatner and Takei (and, no, it’s not sexual tension), when one was speaking of the other, and vice versa. And where was Walter Koenig? He’s detached alive, ain’t he?
Actor/comedian/Cap’n Kirk-impersonator extraordinaire Kevin Pollak, the porcine and potty-mouthed Lisa Lampanelli, Greg Giraldo (“You overact more than Betty White’s bladder”) and perennial roaster Jeffrey Ross (“View at you, Shatner…you have let yourself boldly go”) form their comedy shticks from the dais and generally made me laugh, while filmed “tributes” by Sandra Bullock, Ben Stiller, and the duo of Jimmy Kimmel and the plucky Sarah Silverman are hits or misses. I was actually knocked for a loop when Betty White proved to be as raunchy and droll as she did (“It always makes me laugh when I glance Artie Lange on stage – shiny I’m going to outlive him”; and did Betty and Shatner really do the nefarious? Aarrgh!) . Lastly, it’s always a valid surprise when the roastee is able to give as beneficial as he’s got, and, construct no mistake, Shatner hilariously tore a hole into his tormentors. Kudos to Cap’n Crunch…er, Kirk.
Now, the negatives: Roastmaster Jason Alexander does try his darndest, but he ends up being merely adequate in his hosting duties. The ever annoying Andy Dick yet again demonstrates that he is neither clever nor humorous (this numbnut wastes television air time by mugging for the camera, being strange, and licking faces) . And then there’s Farrah Fawcett, who was on some strange kind of drugged-up or drunk bender when she horrifically attempted to do her “bit.” Her time on the cover was abysmally embarassing and so excruciating I had to turn the channel and only returned when I concept she had finished. Again, awful Farrah.
The only aspect of Shatner’s multi-media career that wasn’t brought up and gutted was his stint as a sci-fi author. Nothing else was too sacred or too personal for the irreverent roasters as they avidly wreck honest about every fixture in the William Shatner mythos: the hammy acting, the weight, T.J. Hooker, Boston Honest, the toupee, [...], the spoken song career, and, of course, Captain Kirk. As I’ve mentioned, I’ve only seen the televised roast on Comedy Central and, honestly, I had a rollicking, laugh-out-loud beneficial time. William Shatner is an overwhelmingly easy target, a fount of rude brow insults, and, while I concept the jokes were fairly certain, they were collected so ferociously droll, in spite of their viciousness (or maybe because of their viciousness? ) . Undoubtedly, the uncensored version is even more hilarious and shameful and, hopefully, comes equipped with quality bonus features. And, finally, for the last time, that terrible Farrah Fawcett…
*********************************************************************
Update: So I impartial watched the extended & uncensored dvd of this roast, and, as predicted, it was even more of a blast than the cleaned up exhibit that aired on Comedy Central months ago. Surprisingly, Roastmaster Jason Alexander showed dependable improvement when not bleeped or edited. He was actually glowing droll. And, as expected, roast hangers-on Greg Giraldo, Patton Oswalt, Jeffrey Ross, and (especially) Lisa Lampanelli shine best when unleashed uncut in their fleshy vulgarity. Betty White was awesome, as was George Takei, while Andy Dick remained intolerable. Fred Willard and Nichelle Nichol’s moments on the podium weren’t shown in chunky, but, sadly, Farrah Fawcett’s odd “episode” was, in its fat excruciating glory. I also noticed that the video clip with Leonard Nimoy which opened the aired display was absent in this dvd. Hmmm…
The bonus features weren’t all that: a brief “Making of the Roast” segment, “Red Carpet Interviews,” “Tedious the Scenes Footage,” and 3 Comedy Central quickies (short segments from the Colbert Characterize, Reno 911, and Drawn Together) . The one to check out is the “Red Carpet Interviews,” where you rep to discover the cute, bespectacled interviewer (her name’s Jessie something) originate out sober as she talks to the roasters before the show; then, the camera cuts to after the roast and to a drunk off her mind Jessie, who’s collected interviewing! It’s a gas.
