I was at a party and chatted with Drew for at least half an hour. At the time, I honestly didn't recognize him as he'd lost a lot of weight at that point. He was an extremely charming and friendly chap. Talkative, interesting and down-to-earth. So, there you go.
He had a couple of novelty songs in the 80s that made the rounds on university campuses for a while. But I don’t think I had ever seen them do stand-up until watching this video.
When I think of the finest books I've ever read, I think of Tolstoy's War and Peace, Hemingway's For Whom the Bells Toll, and Drew Carey's Dirty Jokes and Beer. Ladies and Gentlemen, do I have taste. LMAO
He got the name wrong; it's for whom the bell tolls, and the poem from which it's taken is the same. Unlikely he's all that literary; probably did this purely for the joke.
@@thatonekid4359 Apparently his wife left him and took most of his things, so he left a tampon on top of his television set to remind him of the C word that took his VCR.
I love it when a comedy old timer like that proves to be the exception and, instead of being outdated and lame, is actually funny. Many weren't, and aren't.
Z4G uh... yeah. No idea. And I was watching Comedy Central since 2010... weird. Also, I never seen an stand up routine from him, just the few roast where he shows up and his show in Comedy Central.
@@henrychubbs2823 you clearly don't understand comedy, jeff is arguebly the best roaster of all time, people are not hyping him they're just saying how much they love him
Jeff Ross shows he really pioneered the modern style that everyone uses. He killed it as the opener. No one else compared, lot of just straight stand up. What the hell was that Dom Irera bit
And that is the thing. Drew knows how to take jokes, let alone, knows how to just have pure fun. You can't laugh like you can't love. You can't laugh without laughing at your self, and you cannot love without loving yourself.
Jeff Ross seems to be in every roast….and he is superb! Now I have to checkout if he has any stand up comedy shows on YT…the guy’s humour is phenomenal.
This was recorded October 28, 1998...In case you're wondering. Drew had his eponymous show from '95 to '04. He took over The Price Is Right in '07. Bob Barker died August 26, 2023, just few months shy of 100 years old. He hosted TPIR from 1972-2007.
A real roast! Just good old dirty jokes but you know everyone is joking, today's roasts sometimes cut too deep and feel like they actually got people who hate the subject of the roast. This is classic and beautiful!
Nick Madigan because I found it on Dailymotion & had been looking for it myself to no success. This is one of the best roasts in my opinion. They really roast the shit out of Drew 😂
@ZacBLive He made people laugh. Hence, he's funny. Comedy is subjective, not everyone digs the same shit. I'm sure some people don't enjoy your tight 15 of knock-knock jokes during Senior's Night at the ol' Tap 'N Cap, but they aren't online straight declaring that you aren't funny. It's opinions, not facts, ya know?
If you haven't seen him on Tough Crowd, search now. Totally worth it. I'd wish he'd be like that in his stand up, but he's imo best mixed with others. The interactions are just the best.
Wow I haven't seen most of those comics in years. Kip Adotta ....wow...had forgotten about him. But I love the old vaudeville comics. That was great. The production value of the show is hilarious too. The Vegas lounge act music...classic.
Jeff is rough hhaha that opening Ryan Styles crack was harsh af 🤣 Drew laughed because he knew that it was true. In saying that, Ryan is awesome at what he does and the show wouldn't be the anything without him or Wayne Brady!
Is full uncensored version of this available? Specifically Kip’s segment. I heard Drew refer to this once and it’d be cool to at least hear it. Something about a brand new dress. Ty
was that Wanda Sykes in the audience, near the end ? I like Jeff Ross (the (Comedy Central) Roast Master General), Margaret Cho, Alan King, Kathy Kinney, Dom Irrera, Dave Attell and Pat Cooper's humor.

thank you so much
THANKS FOR ALL THE EFFORT YOU PUT INTO THIS ... I DIDN'T KNOW THE NAME OF SOME OF THESE COMICS
Dick Capri just roasting Drew by complimenting his acting and his books is genius. It's a perfect roast joke.
Yes you can hear the genuine laughter from the crowd. Brilliant bit
This is THE bit I remember from the roast. So glad I found it again after all these years.
He was great! He and Ross killed
"Drew Carey is to comedy what Mariah Carey is to comedy" was so damn clever
Ryan Styles doesnt get enough credit ! His delivery ,expressions , and timing are first rate in all the shows hes been in . He's GREAT . Love the guy
You're right. He doesn't. It is. They are.Situational. Every show!
Ryan is classic in Whose Line but a host he is not, he isn't great here at all. Think hes nervous, flubs his lines. He isn't good at this kinda stuff.
@@heresjohnny999 agree. I thought he struggled. He's better with improv
Well, they did cast him in 2 and a half men. But yeah, he is made for comedy 100%
I think that Ryan did this for Drew otherwise he would not have done it.
“I’ve seen younger faces on cash.” Great line.
Did he mean money here?
Oh dear @@ruskyhrahsel7723
" A man who burst onto the scene at the same time as the beetles. Not the band, the lifeform." Best line of the night.
Agreed.
I've seen younger faces on _cash_ worked better for me tbh
I also really liked "You look like Buddy Holly and Barney Rubble had a baby and then peed on it!"
Drew Carey's laugh gives me life. 😂🤣❤
Also very wholesome if that's a thing
I was at a party and chatted with Drew for at least half an hour. At the time, I honestly didn't recognize him as he'd lost a lot of weight at that point. He was an extremely charming and friendly chap. Talkative, interesting and down-to-earth. So, there you go.
Me to. We met, oddly enough, at a petting zoo. He shared some salt with me.
Sir, this is a roast.
Who are you?
He was hitting on you, of course he was charming.
I still see him around Cleveland occasionally when he’s in town. Still owns his childhood home.
Never heard of Kip Addotta until watching this but that was the first time I cried laughing in a long time.
He does a great fish routine.
yo how did he keep a straight face,, that was atomic
He had a couple of novelty songs in the 80s that made the rounds on university campuses for a while. But I don’t think I had ever seen them do stand-up until watching this video.
Dude, I was crying!! Holy shit that was awesome
No one was having a better time than Drew.
When I think of the finest books I've ever read, I think of Tolstoy's War and Peace, Hemingway's For Whom the Bells Toll, and Drew Carey's Dirty Jokes and Beer. Ladies and Gentlemen, do I have taste. LMAO
He got the name wrong; it's for whom the bell tolls, and the poem from which it's taken is the same. Unlikely he's all that literary; probably did this purely for the joke.
I didn’t get the VCR joke and idk if it’s because of the bleep or I’m just to young
@@thatonekid4359 Apparently his wife left him and took most of his things, so he left a tampon on top of his television set to remind him of the C word that took his VCR.
Dirty Jokes and beer is funny as f$&k
I love it when a comedy old timer like that proves to be the exception and, instead of being outdated and lame, is actually funny. Many weren't, and aren't.
Jeff Ross, young comic?
Jeez, Jeff looks like he's been 50 years old for about 30 years
It really astounds me that Jeff Ross has been in the zone for so many years, dudes a genius when it comes to comedy.
You know, maybe it’s because I am from another country, but I never heard of that guy until maybe the roast of Charlie Sheen.
@@iamdenislara Im from another country too. I've still been on the internet long enough to know who Jeff Ross is tho.
Z4G uh... yeah. No idea. And I was watching Comedy Central since 2010... weird.
Also, I never seen an stand up routine from him, just the few roast where he shows up and his show in Comedy Central.
Yet another person hyping Jeff Ross. Are you guys paid by the network? He sucks and no amount of hype can change that.
@@henrychubbs2823 you clearly don't understand comedy, jeff is arguebly the best roaster of all time, people are not hyping him they're just saying how much they love him
Jeff Ross shows he really pioneered the modern style that everyone uses. He killed it as the opener. No one else compared, lot of just straight stand up. What the hell was that Dom Irera bit
@Armored Batman don't tell that to Bill burr.
@@Whiteones If you think Bill Burr is just marginally funny, then you don't know shit about comedy pal.
Jeff Ross didn't pioneer a thing lmao watch more roasts
Dom's set was 10x better than Jeff's
@@christiancampbell3430Dom was a bust
*"This isn't a roast, it's a rot. All kidding, it's nice to be here at the Hollywood wax museum."*
- Pure Ross
And yet there were many "as-ses" at the "rot."
(if you don't get it, rot + as = roast)
I watched the Hugh Hefner roast before this and he said the exact same thing.
he got that from don rickles
@@Mythol-OG WTF? Even after the explanation it makes no sense.
@Marc Petrie Worth a shot...
Nobody laughs at Drew Carey's jokes as much as Drew Carey does!
I love Drews laugh. 100% pure
These old timers were dropping bombs…still killing the game
Kip was brilliant. A person who could make fun of himself and Drew. Brilliant, love him
The joke about dirty jokes with beer is my favorite at this roast
The Drew Carey roast is like everything he does... amusing, vanilla, and watchable. Alright job everyone!
That diaper changing room bit was gold lol
Drew looked like he was having the most fun of anyone there.
And that is the thing. Drew knows how to take jokes, let alone, knows how to just have pure fun. You can't laugh like you can't love. You can't laugh without laughing at your self, and you cannot love without loving yourself.
Fun fact: While it was unaired, in between games on whose line, he used the Mariah Carey line. 😂
Never heard of Dick Capri, but he led off with a grand slam!
He finished with a walk off win too.
Hard to believe Drew once received a perfect fitness score in the marines.
@TimeforaChange InGovernment depression
Why is that difficult to believe?
@TimeforaChange InGovernment boredom
Only the boring are ever bored. You're welcome
Jeff Ross seems to be in every roast….and he is superb! Now I have to checkout if he has any stand up comedy shows on YT…the guy’s humour is phenomenal.
Grew up in Cleveland ! Carey earned his fame ! He's a great sport ! Knows it's all in fun ! Knew what to expect ! Class Act !
This was recorded October 28, 1998...In case you're wondering.
Drew had his eponymous show from '95 to '04.
He took over The Price Is Right in '07.
Bob Barker died August 26, 2023, just few months shy of 100 years old. He hosted TPIR from 1972-2007.
Dick Capri: “when I think of actors, three names come to mind. Sir Lawrence Olivier, sir Anthony Hopkins, and Drew Carey, ladies and gentlemen.”
Dick Capri's roast is so good. Hilarious without ever being mean. Unless you're the **** who took his VCR.
A real roast! Just good old dirty jokes but you know everyone is joking, today's roasts sometimes cut too deep and feel like they actually got people who hate the subject of the roast. This is classic and beautiful!
OG of Roasts😎 Drew is so care free. Laughs at every moment.
Thank you so much for posting this! I saw it when it came out and have been unable to find it since. One of my favorite roasts of all time!
Nick Madigan because I found it on Dailymotion & had been looking for it myself to no success. This is one of the best roasts in my opinion. They really roast the shit out of Drew 😂
I wish there was an uncensored version of this so we could hear more than 8% of Pat Cooper's set.
8% too much. He’s not funny.
@ZacBLive He made people laugh. Hence, he's funny. Comedy is subjective, not everyone digs the same shit. I'm sure some people don't enjoy your tight 15 of knock-knock jokes during Senior's Night at the ol' Tap 'N Cap, but they aren't online straight declaring that you aren't funny. It's opinions, not facts, ya know?
Kip Addotta had 5 of the greatest minutes in Roast History
Sladen agreed! Brilliant delivery and funny as hell
Sladen damn. I didn’t realize he just died in August. RIP Kip!
really?
ABSOLUTELY! Hard to think of a funnier fiction than the petting-zoo story. "Who's the victim here?"
What is beeped about turkeys? Did he say Drew found work on a poultry farm taking blind turkeys out to shit?
Drew laughin’ his ass off is pure gold!
OMG! How did I not know this existed!
Thanks for the upload!
Lots and lots of extremely funny stuff here. And Pat Cooper IS a genius! Hilarious 😂
Finally seeing the full version for the first time 🙏🏽Thanks 👍🏽
Dick Capri had me in stitches. Never heard of him before this.
11:58 He came so close to cracking but held it together like a pro
Holy shit I literally was looking for this a few days ago. Thank you so much. This is an all time classic.
Drew only came because he heard "roast"
According to IMdB. this was broadcast on October 28, 1998.
Abe lived another 8 years
@@reginaldbowls7180 Abe Vigoda date of death: 01-26-2016 -- he lived another 17 years
So funny
my birthday was a week before this aired i watched this with my best friend we couldnt stop laughing everyone was great.
Jeff Ross kills it. Every. Time.
This was a great roast 😂
Wow! Jeff Ross and Dave Attell in the same room so many years ago! I wonder if they knew where they'd be today.
Such a great roast. Drew deserves his success.
Thanks for the upload. I had been wanting to see the whole thing for years.
Pat Cooper....that is all ....excellent set
If you haven't seen him on Tough Crowd, search now. Totally worth it.
I'd wish he'd be like that in his stand up, but he's imo best mixed with others.
The interactions are just the best.
He’s the worst.
@@ZacBLiveI got you good enough earlier, but I'm getting a pretty decent laugh so far seeing if you're gonna be on every comment that mentions Pat.
Oh man Drew Carey roasted. He belongs here for what he did to us on Whose Line 😂
kinda shocked Colin and Wayne not there
Right?!!!
@Marc Petrie Wayne got pulled over for imitating a black man.
So many old school comics were still alive then. Alan King, Jack Carter etc. Grew up watching those guys.
im so glad i came across these friars club roasts today.
This is a great line-up of old timers!
Wow I haven't seen most of those comics in years. Kip Adotta ....wow...had forgotten about him. But I love the old vaudeville comics. That was great. The production value of the show is hilarious too. The Vegas lounge act music...classic.
RIP
Pat Cooper
One of the Kings of Comedy
The funniest bit was when Alan King said he wrote his own jokes! 🤣😂🤣
Kip Addotta and Jeff Ross made me cry laughing, fucking hilarious 😂
We need more shows like this
I will spend the word about this,we need Humour now more than ever!
Really strong sets by everyone. A classic roast
I’m in love with both Drew Carey & roasts, so this was perfect!🤩 also, the angry guy killed it!
I watched and taped the original broadcast. Lost my tape somewhere and haven't seen this in 25 years.
"not in a gay way, but like a viking" lmaooo
Kip Adadda is hilarious.
I didn't laugh at him once
rip Abe Vigoda
A2Z83 RIP Indeed!
Finely
Ryan Stiles roasting is gold! True friend to Drew
One of my fav Jeff Ross Roast sets.
The one that started it all for CC.
This is the best roast out of all!
This was awesome. Seeing Alan King, wow. I remember him when I was a kid. I'd watch him with my folks. Very funny man.
Friars got balls after all these years! Yessssss!!!
Nobody beats Cooper. I’d love to get an unedited copy of this show.
28:40 ... When you laugh that hard at your own joke, you know it KILLS!
Dick Capri was classic here
true. great delivery.
Drew Carey is a comedian?
Zing!
Drew Carey is an actor?
Zing !!
Drew Carey is an author?
Zing!!!
I did not realize they've been doing these for so long on Comedy Central
14:50 Remember when VCR's had value.
Funny, funny, funny stuff~!!!!!! Thanx~!!!!! :)
What. Jeff Ross killed!
20:50
Dom Irrera really went on a "Howl" run a la Allen Ginsberg here. Fucking hysterical!
Alot of comedic Galatians there. Dom Kip Margaret. . tremendous
dick capri has one of the best roasts of all time. period
Jeff is rough hhaha that opening Ryan Styles crack was harsh af 🤣 Drew laughed because he knew that it was true.
In saying that, Ryan is awesome at what he does and the show wouldn't be the anything without him or Wayne Brady!
here we see drew do what he always does sit there smiling while the funny ppl talk XD
jk i love drew
I got breathless laughing
I came for the roastmaster Jeff Ross tho 😂👌
Me too...
This speech should be shown to this new generation
lots of old talent there fo sho, and goddamn jeff ross has been roasting FOREVER.
A young Dave Attell. Pretty good.
drew and Flava Flav are the only roasted ppl who enjoyed their Roast
Would certainly love to see the research that went into this statement.
I didn't know Kip had passed away til I paused to check out his wiki.
Never seen any honoree laugh so hard. Shows what healthy guy Drew is.
10:14 The Best Line. LMFAOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
Dave Attell was funny on "Everybody Loves Raymond".
no one was funny on Everybody Loves Raymond
I really wish they would have brought all of the whose line cast...
Jeff ross kills me everytime
