After Comedy Central’s “Roast of Rob Lowe” filmed last month, word got out almost immediately: The event really became a roast of Ann Coulter.
While Lowe was clearly the target of many jokes, all of the comedians and roasters on stage (host David Spade, Nikki Glaser, Jeff Ross, Jewel, Peyton Manning, etc.) aimed especially vicious material at the conservative commentator and fellow roaster — so much that Coulter herself dubbed it the “Ann Coulter Roast with Rob Lowe.”
While the Coulter jokes dominated headlines and stories about the roast, you never know how Comedy Central will present the telecast. But after watching the televised version on Monday night, it was just as brutal as you may have read.
“How do I roast somebody from hell?” comedian Jeff Ross pondered, calling Coulter’s voice “like fingernails on a chalkboard inside an inner city school (Coulter wants) to defund.”
