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 characterized 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.

LaWanda Page (1920-2002) was an American actress, comedian, and dancer whose career spanned six decades. Crowned "The Queen of Comedy" or "The Black Queen of Comedy," Page melded blue humor, signifyin', and observational comedy to joke about sexuality, race relations, African-American culture, and religion. She released five solo albums, including the 1977 gold-selling Watch It, Sucker!. She also collaborated on two albums with comedy group Skillet, Leroy & Co. As an actress, Page is best known for portraying the Bible-toting and sharp-tongued "Aunt" Esther Anderson in the popular television sitcom Sanford and Son, which initially aired from 1972 until 1977.[3] Page later reprised this role in the short-lived television shows Sanford Arms (1976–1977) and Sanford (1980–1981).

Poor Lawanda. She's actually really beautiful but she dressed down on Sanford & Son to play the "ugly" role. She leaned into the ugly roasts because she has a great sense of humor. What a class act.

This is a true story….when my daughters were 4 and 5 I bought a box set of all the seasons of Sanford And Son. My daughters would watch them over and over and they would laugh so hard and they absolutely adored and loved the Redd Foxx character Fred and they would walk around boxing the air and saying “I’m coming to join you honey!”

Well one day they asked…”daddy where is Fred we want to see him in real life!” (they were to young to understand they were looking at reruns and not something new) I explained to them that Redd Foxx had died some years ago, and they immediately broke out in tears and were sad for days. It was sad but at the same time it makes me smile.

It's a shame in how sensitive the world is today. Those were great comedic times. Bring them back. Laughter is good for the soul.

When I watch these videos, I laugh, but sometimes I’m tempted to cry as to where we are today. I wish we can laugh at ourselves again and not take things so personal! These roasts were fantastic!
