He was.  Some of his funniest stuff was on the CC roasts.  Sad that so many in the comedy world get taken from us like this.

Okay, i'm gonna go the other way and say comedy central roasts got 5% better. All of the d-list comedians with comedy central contracts like Greg Giraldo and Lisa Lampenelli make the roasts nearly unwatchable. They spent the majority of the time roasting each other and not the roastee. Several of them even make mistakes that show that they haven't even bothered to study the roastee. If the roasters were only friends, co-stars and real comedians like Betty White, then I might watch them again.

And I'm gonna respectfully disagree and say 'to each their own'.  Lisa Lampanelli is one of the only reasons I watch the roasts.

Her only joke is that she has or will sleep with an African American man.  It seriously isn't that funny.

I can't remember who said it but Lampanelli was ripped at a roast with "It looks like it's been on a taffy puller."
