Interesting Coincidences, Episode 44: Yesterday, Charlie makes headlines for being Nicey-Nicey with his former co-stars. Today's headlines? CBS settles Sheen's contract for 25 million, plus syndication cashola. Isn't that freaky?????

It would have been funny if there were people who actually knew Charlie. Say like the crew from 2 1/2 Men. Would loved to have heard Chuck Lorre!

Are the people who actually know him still speaking to him? Doesn't seem like he has many friends left.

I watched. The "Charlie cam" concept was very good, the execution was poor. They need to find a way to synch the web channel with the cable provider's, if possible.

As for the roast its self, The content wasn't good enough to justify sitting through the ridiculously
long commercial breaks. They lost me about 1/2 way through.

I watched it twice, but it really wasn't that funny.......

It wasn't as funny as some of the other roasts but it had some pretty funny moments. Lisa Lampanelli and Gilbert Gottfried should have been there. Whitney Cummings should have been there. It was like a skeleton crew of funny. The blond chick was quite good though, as was Shatner (MacFarland kept creaming his pants over him being there), and Tyson was simply a prop, except when he made that great joke about biting his own ears off. Now that was funny.

Whitney Cummings will be doing roasts again if her sitcom gets cancelled. I agree with you about Gottfried and Lampanelli.

I'm trying to disagree with you somehow, but I can't. I find Whitney hot and hilarious. On the Hoff roast, she had me in stitches.

Surprised by the reaction to the roast. I thought it was very funny.

There were funny lines (from a slew of writers credited at the end--typical of roasts). some crude, and some borderline-racist. But it was strictly amateur hour in terms of talent. The old Dean Martin roasts may have had a lot of politically incorrect shtick (Foster Brooks' drunk routine, for instance) but they also had people not unknown outside of the LA comedy club scene. They also had a great amount of class, something Seth Macfarlane might aspire to but has yet to fully achieve. But with better writers and a better cast this could have been much better than it was.

The fact that there was only 3 or so comedians tells you a lot. It seems most of the time the celebirty guests have the best jokes and for the most part that held true but it still wasn't enough. It sure wasn't the best thats for sure.

It was kind of disappointing but then again I don't know what I was expecting in the first place, Charlies has already succeeded in continually roasting himself for some time now. Theres not too much left that hasn't been said at this point..

Good to know he is back to earth.

$25 million plus syndication money can ground any astronaut my naive internet friend.

I expect a roast to be pretty harsh, especially a Charlie Sheen roast, but the joke to Steve-O about his dead pal made me cringe. "Two and a Half Men" also appeared to be sort of roasting Charlie Harper on the show last night. As much as I love comedy, some jokes just rub me the wrong way. Oh, well.

You can't really enjoy roasts and then say something offends you. The joke only offends because Huffington Post and other sides the cry "victim!" tell you that it was too soon. What about MacFarlane's joke about whinehouse in the opening monologue?

You can't enjoy roasts and also be offended.

He was referring to Lorre roasting Sheen on 2.5 Men... and it was clever;)

I was so looking forward to this roast and was sorely disappointed. Mike Tyson was unwatchable. Steve-O was amateurish. Kate Walsh had no business being there. Amy Schumer tried but she's no Lisa Lampanelli; or not yet anyway. Where was Lampanelli anyway? And I'm sorry, but a roast isn't a roast without Gilbert Gottfried. What a letdown.

Oh, that Col. Ghaddaffi out fit that Geoff Ross wore was freakin GREAT. Other than that...eh.
