In Hollywood , they have a tradition called a ' Roast ' , it's when a group of stars get together [usually in Las Vegas] to honour one of their own in an unusual fashion.
Rather than praise the recipient to the rafters , they instead tear them to pieces ..... this tradition has been going on for fifty years and stars such as Henry Fonda , Jimmy Stewart , Johnny Carson , Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin have all received the treatment .... it is a great honour to be publicly ridiculed in this way .
In 1973 , Dean Martin brought to the TV screen a series called Dean Martin's Celebrity Roast , this show ran for 11 years and one of the stalwarts of this show was a man named Foster Brooks ..... perhaps you've heard of him .. perhaps not ................ here's a taste of Foster roasting Snoopy Duncan Jr .
