The joke was not in the broadcast program. During Roseanne Barr's roast, Jeff Ross compared fellow roaster Seth Green to James Holmes, the mass murderer responsible for the 2012 Aurora, Colorado shooting. ĭuring Denis Leary's roast, Lenny Clarke, a friend of Leary's, said there was a carton of cigarettes backstage from Bill Hicks with the message, "Wish I had gotten these to you sooner." This joke was cut from the final broadcast. It was removed from broadcast on Steve-O's request. This was a reference to The Station nightclub fire in West Warwick, Rhode Island that killed 100 people on February 20, 2003. ĭuring Sheen's roast, Steve-O made the joke "The last time this many nobodies were at a roast, at least Great White was playing". Although Charlie Sheen initially agreed to no restrictions on his roast, he later said during an interview with Jay Leno that he requested jokes about his mother be edited out of the broadcast. Others, like David Hasselhoff, have imposed no limits on the topics. Joan Rivers disallowed jokes about her daughter Melissa, William Shatner asked that the death of his wife not be mentioned, and Donald Trump prohibited jokes about him not being as wealthy as he claims he is. Pamela Anderson, for example, prohibited jokes about her Hepatitis C infection. Some roastees have stated that certain topics are off limits.
