Just got done reading Lee Hale's book: "Backstage @ the Dean Martin Show". He mentions that in the Jimmy Stewart Roast, there were multiple speeches given, in front of the "Mock Set". Greer Garson, G. Burns & H. Fonda all did it, that way. It looked like they were in attendance that night...

Garth was correct. (Dreesen and me were wrong) So to summarize - i am still looking to ID the man in this picture, who is sitting down next to Lynn Anderson.

Garth, on Sept 26th, you wrote : "Ray Price is sitting to Lynn Anderson's left". That is 100% wrong. Ken Berry is sitting next to HER LEFT HAND SIDE. Ray Price is sitting next to HER RIGHT HAND SIDE. Now let's examine the facts & the videos. Ken Berry appeared on, and was a "Roaster" on the...

Hey, i just wanted to update you guys on something - i just got an e-mail from Tom Dreesen. (Yes, the same Tom Dreesen who appeared on 2 roasts) I asked him who the guy was sitting next to Lynn Anderson in the Kirk Douglas Roast. I didn't offer him any clues/hints. He said that IT IS without a...

This is interesting.....if U watch the Hubert Humphrey roast, you will see something bizarre. Approx. 10 minutes into the Roast, Dean Martin introduces Leo Durocher, who then walks to the podium & recites his speech, of one-liners. After each joke, you see reaction shots (laughs) from all the...

It's not Corbett Monica and it's not Ken Berry. One of the guys sitting next to Lynn Anderson IS Ray Price - but now, i'm not sure whice one ? Thanx 4 your help, everyone!

No, No, No - Ray Price is sitting between Lynn Anderson & Tim Conway !!

Hey FanCollector - thanx 4 the info. Now that i know it is only songs & montages that were edited out, i feel much better. I wasn't a big fan of those. As long as i have your attention - could you give me your opinion on something ? In the Kirk Douglas Roast - which can be seen at...

I keep hearing about the "differences" in the Time Life collection and the Guthy collection, but i own both sets, and i cannot find one single difference in the two sets ? Can anybody name even 1 instance, where a speech was cut out, by Time Life, and was NOT cut out, by Guthy ??

RE: the Walmart exclusive: "The Best of Dean and his Friends." What exactly is the "I Remember It Well" speech, which was cut from the Telly Savalas roast ? I have no idea what that is or who it involved. Thanx much !

Richard - UR looking at the wrong side of the dais. Jack Burns was on the left side - sitting next to his partner, Avery Schreiber. I was referring to the guy on the right side - next to Tim Conway. As for your question - i think you'll need to contact somebody who was a BIG SHOT on those Roasts...

Does that footage still exist ? That's a great question. I'd put the odds at less than 50% because Guthy or Time-Life probably would have figured out a way to use that footage to extract more money from us. I agree with Garth - they would probably be awful to watch. When i posted my list of...

I thought for sure, Time-Life would include them, too, but they didn't. In fact, in one of their booklets, (inside the DVD case) it says that Eve Arden appears as a Roaster on the Dickinson roast, but obviously, she didn't appear on that one, or the one released by Guthy. The Roast info...

Yes i'm sure, because i just watched the Ali roast, today. I never heard of him until i saw that roast. Hey, thanx 4 the great advice you gave me on how to ID some of the Roasters. The Monty Hall roast aired on Dec 14 1973. So i cheked the internet to see who was on the first half of the...

I guess you could say this is my 'Wall of Infamy', list. Roasters who appeared on The Dais, but their speech was cut out of the show. Some were cut out because they sucked. Some asked to be cut out, because they messed up. And some appeared the same day, on the Variety Show & were just asked to...

OK - Thanks again !

Those are great YouTube clips, Richard, but i was hoping to find something on DVD - that i can watch on my TV. Thanx for the suggestion - i wish i could burn those YouTube videos onto a DVD-R.

Does anybody know of a DVD (other than these roasts) which would contain comedy scenes of Charlie Callas ? The guy is hilarious ! Thanx much !

RMW650 - i asked every Library within 50 miles of me, to please consider buying this $200 boxset - and two of them bought it. Maybe this would work 4U? I work for the School District.& will be on vacation as of 6/15. If you still don't have them by 6/15, feel free to send me an email...

FanCollector - i've never seen an accurate list (on the internet) of ALL appearances on the Variety Shows. But thanx 4 trying to ID that person. I got such a kick out of watching the Hank Aaron Roast. Bob Uecker was on the dais.- but never aired ! What a waste ! Grim Reaper - thanx for the...

.

Can somebody please help me ID a roaster who was on the Monty Hall Roast ? When Monty was announced at the start of the show, he walked towards the podium, (from the right side of the TV screen) and he walked past Jack Carter & Ted Knight - PLUS a man who sat between Carter & Knight. Can you...

At last, an ACCURATE list of the roastees & roasters, that's in the PROPER ORDER: (unlike Guthy - Renker's online list of roasters) This is 51 of 54. (i didn't do the 3 new Star - Vista shows yet. (J. Namath ('74) , R. Foxx ('74) , Klugman & Randall) HANK AARON: joey bishop,eddie...

OK. Thanks again.

And the verdict is.......... ??? (thanks by the way)

Has anybody seen the DVD called Best of D. Martin Variety Show - Volume 20 ? Does Red Buttons do his "Never got a Dinner" routine ? Or what exactly does he do on that episode ? Thanks much !!
