“He entertained 6 Presidents… he’s performed for 12” 😅

I look at the line up on that table and just amazed how what a difference in what we had then and what we have now. Bob Hope, Ronald Reagan, Dean Martin, Howard Cosell, Billy Graham, Milton Berle, Don Rickles, Jack Benny, Lou Rawls.

Reagan’s delivery was spot on. Love seeing comedians enjoying each other perform.

[anthonyclarke]

Oh yes, I remember this sort of thing it was called comedy and I used to laugh.

[davidgifford]

Masterful comic timing with a velvet delivery from gentler and more civilised times.

[andrewstryker]

How did we get from class to crass so quickly.
Those times were the best of times.

The veto at the end was comedy gold !!!

Reagan was just GREAT!!! and what a line up of comedic Geniuses. They are all sorely missed.

Only after listening to Ronald Regan I could realize that Americans have a good sense of humour. 🎉❤😂

[R.Bobbee]

Good clean humor in front of some BIG names seated at the table. Ronald Reagan was great with jokes. Clean good humor.😂😂😂

Definitely an era that should never be forgotten, when television was worth watching and truly enjoyable. Somewhere something went terribly wrong and now we live in a state of confusion 😮

Today's Hollyweird couldn't even begin to dream of having the talent and class that these true and wonderful STARS had back in the GOOD OLE DAYS. America loved them, misses them, and would give just about anything to have them back.

These people were the last of a great generation.
I hope they're all having a laugh and a drink together.
I miss their generation.

Reagan made fun of himself more than he did Bob Hope

[asthecrowflies]

🥰 I adored Ronald Reagan. Dean Martin Celebrity Roast was one of THE best shows on television.

[henrysmith]

I think Reagans delivery and content on these roasts is excellent. He was a very fine joke teller

[NordicSnowhammer]

Man, I miss then. They were better days because the people were better.

[WalterWild-uutd]

Hard watching these. Grew up watching every one of these gentlemen. Hard to believe they're all gone. So much talent. RIP gentlemen.

Back when everyone knew a joke from a slander.

Wow, what a stage full of legends! Reagan had a good story, lol. Thanks Dean, for the shows!
