The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast is a series of television specials hosted by entertainer Dean Martin and airing from 1974 to 1984. For a series of 54 specials and shows, Martin and his friends would "roast" a celebrity. The roasts were patterned after the roasts held at the New York Friars' Club.

Dean Martin (1917 - 1995) was an American singer, actor, and comedian. One of the most popular and enduring American entertainers of the mid-20th century, Martin was nicknamed "The King of Cool." Martin gained his career breakthrough together with comedian Jerry Lewis, billed as Martin & Lewis, in 1946. They performed in nightclubs and later had numerous appearances on radio, television, and films. Following an acrimonious ending of the partnership in 1956, Martin pursued a solo career as a performer and actor. Martin established himself as a singer, recording numerous contemporary songs and standards from the Great American Songbook. He became one of the most popular acts in Las Vegas and was known for his friendship with fellow artists Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr., who formed the Rat Pack. In 1965, Martin was the host of the television variety program The Dean Martin Show, which centered on Martin's singing and comedic talents and was characterized by his relaxed, easy-going demeanor. From 1974 to 1984, he was roastmaster on the famous Dean Martin Celebrity Roast, drawing celebrities, comedians, and politicians. Throughout his career, Martin performed in concert stages, nightclubs, audio recordings and appeared in 85 film and television productions. His most iconic songs include "Ain't That a Kick in the Head?", "Memories Are Made of This," "That's Amore," "Everybody Loves Somebody," "You're Nobody till Somebody Loves You," "Sway," and "Volare."

Don Rickles (1926 - 2017) was an American stand-up comedian, actor, and author, known primarily for insult comedy. A headline performer at Las Vegas hotel-casinos and peripheral member of the Rat Pack via friendship with Frank Sinatra, Rickles received widespread exposure as a frequent guest on talk and variety shows, including The Dean Martin Show, The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson, and Late Show with David Letterman.
Peter Falk (1927 - 2011) was an American actor and comedian, known for his role as Lieutenant Columbo in the long-running television series Columbo (1968-2003), for which he won four Primetime Emmy Awards (1972, 1975, 1976, 1990) and a Golden Globe Award (1973). Falk was twice nominated for the Academy Award and won his first Emmy Award in 1962 for The Dick Powell Theatre. He was the first actor to be nominated for an Academy Award and an Emmy Award in the same year, achieving the feat twice (1961/62). He went on to appear in such films as It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World (1963), The Great Race (1965), Anzio (1968), Murder by Death (1976), The Cheap Detective (1978), The In-Laws (1979), The Princess Bride (1987), Wings of Desire (1987), The Player (1992), and Next (2007), as well as many television guest roles.

Definitely a great piece of history ❤️ 👏!
These roasts are pure gold..Every single person there on every roast was able to lovingly tease the roastee..And laugh at pot shots taken at themselves also..Those were the days huh??.. This would never be tolerated now..So Sad..
Sinatra old man river
@@derekargyle570 he just keeps rolling along.
Superb,,,excellence,,,not to be performed,,,in its format,,,ever in this life,,,What talent,,,as if chisled,,by the hand,,,of a perfectionist,,,
@@deniseg6984 You have nailed,,,it Denise,,,so sad the song,,,To have accomplished,,, perfection,,,only to have it swept,,,into obselences,,,
No vulgar language, no obscene gestures, they were all masters of their craft and I never realized how talented they truly were at the time. When I watch them now I appreciate them even more knowing we will never see their likes again.
Exactly! I'm 22 going on 23 and I love these roasts! They're so much better than the ones they do now! I would wish they'd bring them back but it wouldn't be the same.
Yes! However I would love to see the unedited version if it exists like the Richard Pryor one! The world is too sensitive today for that! Lol 😂
@@eharper7Everyone roasted would cry and start a lawsuit today. Face it… no freedom with all these Libs now
@@dianecourtney2724 Yeah. It sucks, but that's today's reality. 🤷♀️
@@dianecourtney2724maybe you should try crying about it a little more.
I love how Columbo just stays in character the entire time.
He’s not in character… 😅
Cos he can't do nothing else.
@@allanjohnson1854 You obviously haven't seen any of Peter Falk's other work. He didn't just play Columbo.
Method actor apparently.
It is amazing act he did here . Like Foster Brooks same . All are dying from laughter but they continue like it's a real situation.
Peter Falk. What an absolute gem of a man. A loss to the world on so many levels.
He was Columboe .

Peter Falk and Jonathan Winters left everyone else in the dust in this roast.

Being a teenager in the mid 70s , these are the guys I looked up to. If you stop and think of the amount of talent and star power on that stage, it's mind blowing. And many give credit to another for the start of their careers. Not today.
I graduated high school in 1971 and these comics were from my parents's generation but we loved them nevertheless. In my old age, I appreciate them even more. With the exception of Rich Little most of the people on the dais have probably passed on. Tis a shame.
They are just people. People with addictions and probably into some of the most macabre things that you could imagine. Idol worship is a fools habit.
Some of it would not be ok now, woke. It was a bit cringed
@@anairenemartinez165fine by me 22year old loved this from 🇬🇧
You’ll never see anything this legendary.
A group as fine in one place.
Artists aren’t as great nowadays.
They're no respected stars, hell, there aren't any stars anymore
Not even close !
Can’t be a legend when you’re WOKE
@@rickarra1833lq
Fantastic
Red Foxx was very cordial and polite. I met him around 40 + years ago in Hollywood driving down Franklin Street. He was wanting to cut in front of me where the street was narrowing down for street repairs. So I waived him on to cut in front of me. He signaled me to follow him to his beauty shop and introduced me to his staff.
It was a beautiful shop with a bridge going over a small pond and invited me to have his cook make me dinner . Thanks Redd
Wow!
Nice!
Where was his shop located exactly? Would love to see what's there now
I am surprised not to see Jerry Lewis there? He died in 2017. He was very close to Dean Martin. Can someone comment?
Guillermo Palencia
Does everyone realize the level of wit, intelligence, pace and talent compared to today ? It actually shocking.
Unbelievable he didn't even have to tell jokes whatever he said he made it funny. Genius and not scripted
Iii8@@bmj927
Absolutely true.
Freaking true, I born in 1983, and I can say comfortably this is the top of industry
What happened to the white house correspondence dinners under Trump? You’d think he’d show up and be ok with the ridicule
Without a doubt this was the best Dean Martin roast of all time. The group of performers gathered was perfect and much of the humor was spontaneous. We live in a world now where we have to read on tiptoes fearing some tender minded listener may be offended. What kind of society have we been reduced to ?
I think I now understand what Nietzche meant when he said that "nostalgia is for the weak".
You have to watch Don Rickles being roasted. It was one of the funniest ever!
It's sad.
He also said “Africans are, like non-human animals, less sensitive to pain than Europeans.”
@@ericpedrosa5364 well, back then people had tougher skin and they were not offended as easily as today. If you have watched all of the roasts you’d have noticed that the banter was back and forth, not just toward black people, but also White, Hispanics, Asians etc. nobody was spared or offended. It was sense of humor. Nowadays, even being polite is offensive to some. Back then these shows made everyone laugh. Today people use these to divide others. Today, it’s a shame that humor, past and present, is used to separate us more…
Have watched this roast video many times and Peter Falk (Detective Colombo) is a masterpiece of professional art, humor, timing, acting, total commitment as Colombo never breaking character and completly connecting with the audience, Frank Sinatra and all the guest roasters! You can see how much Frank loved it along with everyone else. What an outstanding gifted talent and we miss you Peter Falk.💖
Couldn't agree more..Peter Falk was absolutely brilliant 👏
These artists are all missed. Peter Falk is a particular favorite of mine.
Is he acting Joe Colombo?
@@anthonyguevara5319 Yes, Peter Falk was acting his famous Columbo routine from his TV series as he roasted the Chairman of the Board, Frank Sinatra!
@@anthonyguevara5319… duh
Peter Falk is the funniest comedian up there. Who knew? How gifted and underrated.
Peter Falk died of dementia.
I speak for many of us when I say that we really appreciate you putting these together for us.
Thanks. It means a lot. Appreciate it.
@@advids5572 I 2nd this. Who knows? Had you not put this together, Ronald may have never been president.
You're right!!
I see what you did there.
Agreed. Thank you very much
Those were the days of pure and decent entertainment with the best actors, comedians, singers in the world.
They spent more than 30 seconds performing before their "likes" & paychecks.
2.13pmthose were the days😂
Back in the 2000s they tried to revive the roasts. They were just vulgar and not funny. And the celebrities roasted were totally undeserving, such as: Justin Beiber, Pam Anderson etc..
I saw Martin and Lewis when I was 5 years old, and for the briefest moment Dean leaned over the sang to me as I was the only kid allowed to stand so close to the stage. I was smitten and loved him immediately. I never stopped in my complete admiration of him.
These old roasts are so much better then the what passes for roasting now. We went from roasting, to vulgar insulting and calling it a roast.
At 81 here, it's amazing that George Burns made it to 99.
Go check it. He lived to 100.
@@markgallagher1621 I stand corrected. Thanks.
MISSED BING!!!! HE WOULD OF SEALED THE DEAL!!!!!!
He was middle aged at 81.
Arguably one of the best groups of talent ever assembled on a live broadcast ..
and ronald reagan
In Total Agreement ☺☺😎💯
@@Nathanp166 😂 😝
Hard to believe that they are all gone now ,
No body will never have the class like these people
Rich Little is the only one still living at age 84! Hard to believe as all of these stars were such a huge part of my childhood.
@@KimSearch865 Ruth Buzzy is also still alive
@@Tee1312Jay Omg! You’re right! Good to hear!
@@KimSearch865 👍🏾
We have created a very angry and greedy nation having no sense of humor.. Children wearing bullet proof clothes to school would hsve been unfathomable .
Class... Sheer class... What a great group of Americans! A STARK difference to what we have today... RIP to the greats...
😂😂😂😂
Most of this gentleman in this roast is already gone.. Rest In Peace legends thank you for all the wonderful memories…👏👏👏
I think they all are now.
@@Po1itica11yNcorrect Think only Rich Little still around
@@Po1itica11yNcorrect Ruth Buzzi and Rich Little are still alive
Rich Little is alive and kicking as of October 15, 2023.
Yes very sad.
1978- The days when legendary performer’s got together to honor a fellow performer. Those were the days when tv was worth watching! A special thanks to the people who put this video out! 💕🙏
Amen!!!!
Jonathan Winters could improv like crazy. He just goes off on this one. Hysterical!
He and Columbo stole the show.
This is some of the most genuine laughter I've ever seen. The whole dais was laughing that they couldn't breathe
I love the Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts! There were so many legendary actors and singers. I am so glad these shows are here, thank you AD Vids for showing them!
Thanks for watching - the credit goes to Dean Martin & his talented guests.
@@advids5572Thank You! From South Africa 👌🏾
I cant imagine in this era having an event of very sophisticated men roasting each other...
God knows how I wanted to be this sophisticated, enduring and happy at the same time... What an era..
Peter Falk took it over. What an actor.
Dinos opening was all I needed to hear , but Peter Falk stole the show !!
RIP LEGENDS !
💚🤍❤
My god, what a great cast. THIS WAS CLASS at it's best
When humor was humor and was class at the same time!!
As good as they all were , I'm pretty sure Johnathan Winters is the only one who didn't rely on cue cards. All improvised. What a talent.
Don rickles too
He looked down a few times, read cue cards!
Those were truly the days of great comedians/ actors.
I don't care about Sinatra, I'm here for Columbo. Tv at it's finest!
Wow. Frank's speech at the end was The highlight of the whole roast. Dean has been my favorite since I was a little girl watching his shows with my parents. I'm glad Frank said that he wasn't a drunk. Too many people believed his act.
Frank was humble and genuine, something we certainly don't see today. The entire dias would cry their eyes out of they could see what passes for comedy today and the woke BS where everyone is offended. Class act, every one of them.
Thanks for the memories.
Wow great assessment, you hit the nail on the head
Very very true, unfortunately you have to take into account the so called comedians of today nothing more than crude human beings with little if no education. JUST Get on stage high on drugs and act stupid. Oh yeah don't forget to grab your crouch
If you take a good look in this roast Dean is actually drinking water from a water glass of it were actually vodka or something I believe it'd been a different glass jmo
@@BowB4me.Upezint yes, Dean never drank on stage. It was part of the act. He drank water or iced tea
I was barely 3 years old when this aired but what I wouldn't give to go back in time and be in that audience to see these legends and pioneers in person. They will never be duplicated.
Red Buttons, Charlie Callas, Peter Falk & Don Rickles absolutely killed it💯😃👍🏿
Burns was great!
IT has taken me a few decades to really appreciate these roasts and the enormous talent we no longer have in an industry who isn't interested in entertaining people, but just getting attention even if it is negative. Thanks for posting to share these great comics again with the rest of us.
There will never be a group like this ever again, just watching them today still cry
These are the good ol'e days everyone speaks of, the likes of these shows are timeless and every up and coming generation can benefit and enjoy these masters of comedy, Thank You so much Dean and Friends for the laughs...God Bless
God I miss these guys this is when entertainment was great
Me too … miss all of them. Jerry too.
Dean Martin is barely coherent, and most of the jokes are lackluster.
Historical document that once there were talented entertainers.
The heartfelt loving comments at the end are magnified by all the insults throughout. It's like an Irish friends' fistfight followed by laughter. I almost cried when they got serious.
Love watching these. Nobody took offense, they all loved each other with their jokes. They don’t make them like these greats anymore.
This celebrity roast was a master class for expiring comedians. Most of today's comedians need to watch this and similar roastmasters to know that they do not have to make obscene gesters and spew vulgarity in order to get a laugh. All is needed for gut-busting laughter is a combination of comedic talent, quick wit, perfect timing, and a certain level of class. And surely, the comedians in this celebrity roast - most certainly and unequivocally - possessed those natural-born qualities, all in combination.
I think you meant aspiring.
Could you imagine trying to stage roasts like this today. 😅😅😅
Agree. I won't watch today's so called comics. They are not at all funny and they are crude gutter mouths. This video is pure talent.
Dean was very quick on his feet for comebacks. Miss these people
Pure gold. I miss these giants of the entertainment world. We will never see the likes of these funny funny men ever again. Peter Falk's turn was absolutely hysterical. It was perfect..
All these wonderful people gone but, never forgotten!
Rich Little and Ruth Buzzi are still alive 🙂
For as long as we have RUclips, we have these Roasts
My wife could not believe I could name everyone right down the line. That's the highest compliment to this collection of talent.
Telly, Fred, Earnest, Jack, Ronald, Bill, Don, Dom, Dean, Flip, Frank, Peter, Milton, and the rest of the greatest generation! America was truly the best back then!
Truly was. Bring back those days.
All those men had class.
Wonderful. Lt. Columbo's bit was definitely hysterical. Thank you so much for sharing this. ❤
Real comedy by real comedians. No equals these days.😂❤
A brilliant display of friendship, humour, insults, and love. These were the best years. 🤣🤣🙏🙏💖💖💖💖
Dean Martin was a very special human being. He put Italian culture on display better than anyone in any industry. And proved why it's without question the best on planet earth.
Big.time😊
As an old Frenchman who has travelled extensively, I can attest to that 💯 👍
Nope American is
Holy s*** this is a lot of legends at one table. They got EVERYONE
George Burns made it at 100 years old, damn bro
Columbo you are so loved by so many . Thank you for all the fun we had watching you catching the bad guys ,
@AntiEverything00...He did so with respect and dignity, no vulgarity or nudity. If the writing good as well as the acting and script, there was no need for anything else, no need for distraction.
@@marykatezelazo8287 Except for that one time in the Bookstore…
Sinatra would be my pick for best Columbo killer we never had. That would have been epic.
The best roast ever and I think I’ve seen them all. There will never be another line up like this.❤
Peter Falk stole the show as Colombo. Priceless.
Peter Falk Kills It 😂✌🏼
Back when you can actually tell a joke and ppl would actually accept it and laugh and not cry
Received in my YT steam today..a year later. Today is political correctness, trigger warnings and cancel culture stifling jokes. Everyone is offended by everything, not much laughter and a whole lot of whinning. If we could turn back time I would for the generation of today, they are lost and confused no one seems to be of a working moral compass to guide their way. As depressing as my post sounds, it's even worse living amongst insane, entitled and disrespectful people who have no interest in becoming a contributing, America loving American citizen.
The one good thing I can see is biblical prophecies unfolding rapidly and Jesus will return soon.
Berle and Rickles would have been one hell of a comedy team
NO CURSING, CROTCH GRABBING, REAL FRIENDSHIPS. PURE COMEDIC TALENTS! THIS IS HOW ITS DONE KIDS!!!
Guess you missed Dean's roast in the beginning!!
The greatest talent of the 20th century ever assembled in one room. Actually in those days this type of event wasn't uncommon back then. We had the greatest entertainers of all time.
YOU WILL NEVER SEE THE LIKES OF THESE FANTASTIC MEN AND LADIES THEY WERE THE TRUE ENTERTAINERS OF THEIR TIME ...HOW I MISS THEM ALL ,
Dean Martin is an embarrassment.
SO ARE YOU , A DIS GRACE
I wasn't even born when these Roasts were being aired on tv but, I'm so thankful u post them so I can see these classic moments in time Don Rickles The Master Of Mean was always in attendance at these Roasts Rest In Peace 2 all the legends this stage.. ❤️
Thanks for watching.
Frank Sinatra loved Don Tickles, and Don loved Frank. None of the others would have even tried to say and do what Don did to Frank, and everyone knew it
Columbo was the best! I still watch every episode when on. I've seen them all countless times and still absolutely love him! Wonderful memories all the way back watching with my mom, and my now deceased wife. Time goes by too fast!
One more thing…
@@Throplife hahaha Yes! "Just one more thing"
What
The best!! I miss all of them, but maybe they're in a better place - I don't think they'd understand today's comedy or lack thereof. They laughed at themselves and each other. So glad that RUclips carries these clips.
Ruth Buzzi and Rich Little are the only ones still alive from this Roast... Amazing. The stories they could tell.
Wait, I know Rich Little, God bless him, is still alive...but Ruth Buzzi is too?
WHERE IS RUTH ? I REMEMBER HER ON THIS ROAST BUT ? SHE IS NOT HERE? WAS SHE EDITED OUT?
@@zero-z4551 In her 80's and living in Texas.
Peter Faulk as LT. Columbo was magnificent!
This is the best roast to ever exist.
The good ole days compared to today is an understatement.
No swear words needed to laugh!
Agreed. I’m no prude but all the eff bombs are distracting. Not necessary.
@jillgosk8806 ....respect Jill- the days wen comedy was pure -

you know whats a real actor when you see colombo and dont think for a second that would be peter falk
Don Rickles. What a Class Act. Nothing NOW, entertainment is gone and not forgotten. Wonderful to see the talent then, little now. Thanks for the memories.
Such magnificent talents! Wonderful to watch!Peter Falk is priceless!
Just wanna thank u for this video man ! 1 hour and 20 min of pure joy !
A fantastic walk down memory lane, absolutely.
Peter Falk and Jonathan Winters - Legends
This was so much fun as a child because you were very lucky if your parents would let you watch this we were laughing all crazy like the audience 😜 loved Dean Martin for sure
Even just talking Frank has a cool voice.
Amazing, it truly is a great piece of history! You don’t see these great talents anymore, they are truly missed, I so enjoy watching these clips!
True classy & genuine talent across the board ❤
Pure talent on that stage, the likes of which we will never see again.
Oh my gosh what a fantastic gathering of people. I had forgotten about Flip Wilson!!! This is fantastic.
Now that is real comedy, with friendship and respect 😻
WOW! So many memories with this group! I love how they crack each other up. And how far gone Dean is
Oh how I miss the good old days! I used to watch these shows back in the 80s with my late mother in law,May she Rest In Peace. Thank you 🙏♥️
27:40 What a monster of comedy. Killer intro, killer jokes. I love Milton Berle.
They don't make them like Peter Falk anymore. Complete comedy genius!
My Goodness: ....loved them all...
Remember these roasts from the 1970's.....
Ronald Reagan,.George Burns, Don Tickles....
These were all so special....
They really made my day.
🙏😃
Definitely a generous slice of that generation's best entertainers, who by 1978 appealed predominantly to adults over 40. They were already becoming relics in the eyes of the younger generation, and soon to be more so, once the 80s arrived.
The Peter Falk (Columbo) section is just timeless.....
Absolutely!!
Dean's variety show was funny as hell too. He slid down the pole and up on to the piano ...Every Body ...
Classic
Love how Falk came in costume.
Red Buttons was always on point with the ‘never got a dinner’ routine
To Joe Torre who never wanted to play Catcher because he didn't want to be called "chicken-catch-a-torre"lol.
Thought he was one of the funniest
1:22:37
Back when everyone had a sense of humour …… everyone was class , Falk & Rickles were class
Ronald Reagan was a funny guy. Calling Frank a king was love. So sad all of them are gone now and grateful to see these roasts that I was not allowed to watch as a child. Makes me cry love it!
Not all of them. Rich Little is very much alive and still performs.
RONALD REAGAN.. BEST SPEAKER OF ALL TIME..WIT, CLASS, GREAT GUY!! WONDERFUL PRESIDENT.
Classy and respectful
Peter Falk steals the show
Frank was always a classy man. Influential and made a big statement when he refused to honor a hotel with his patronage when they wouldn't let Sammy Davis stay there due to segregation at the time.
Don Rickles was, and still is an absolute legend, and these Roasts are absolutely legendary, no swearing, just good clean comedy! Not like today's foul mouthed morons.
Have you seen Redd Foxx? Blue comedy is not new.
Yeah but nowadays they’d say Don was “”Racist””
He’s an absolute arsehole. I’ve modelled my adult on his legacy.
@@Zach-je4zd I love a bit of racism.
Plenty of dirty offensive stuff you’re just required to be smarter
