Absolutely the best at his craft. Jimmy sitting there with his face in his hands tells you all you need to know about how funny Foster was.

That "Messerschmitts/Mess of Schlitz" line was sheer genuis. ( Of course, almost all of Foster's stuff was sheer genius.)

A Big Salute to Jimmy Stewart. Thank you for your service.

Love Foster Brooks........Miss him w/Dean Martin. We need more of "old comedy".

Foster Brooks would have me in stitches in the 1970's growing up. He was the only comedian who could have me laughing so hard I would be in tears as well. I miss him and this golden era of television 📺.. Foster Brooks was a genius of his time. He performances always left you wanting more. He was amazing ..

As the saying goes ...they broke the mold when they made him .you'll never see anything like him again. R I p Mr brooks.

All these folks were great entertainers, and to Jimmy Stewart, thank you for your service in our time of need.

Jimmy Stewart looked like he was one funny but humble man based on all his public appearances. As for Mr. Brooks, simply put, he was perfection.

The greatest "Lush" ever on TV! Foster Brooks was the greatest and watching those roasts were a big part of my childhood. I can still remember my parents howling with laughter!

Jimmy Stewart was a legit war hero who was immensely respected by his peers in the entertainment industry. You'd think he was too goody two shoes for a lot of these comedians, but if you watch Stewart with Carson, for example, Carson showed him a lot of respect and Jimmy would keep up with jokes and was very entertaining. A great entertainer and a great man.

Mark, he definitely wasn't underrated! That's why he was on this show constantly! It was one of the biggest shows on TV at the time and they had the biggest stars on this show weekly! The only other person I could think of that may have been on more than him other than Dean, may have been Don Rickles! The biggest comic of that era and possibly of all time! Foster Brooks was one of the funniest comics with one of the best routines ever in the history of Comedy! And to me, definitely top 10, maybe top five funniest comedians I have ever seen!! But again, that's just my opinion. Keep on laughing my friend and always enjoy life!

God, how I wish that I had been able to attend one of these to be in the presence of true comedic greatness.

Foster Brooks is too much, absolutely funny.

I miss these roasts. They were fun to watch. The laughs were real.

Looking at all the celebrities up there. They are no longer with us. The classics never get old.

Hello 👋. How are you?,,.

James Stewart flew bombing missions over Vietnam, a fact a lot of people don't know. During WWII when he was sent home, (after 25 bombing missions in B-17's) the C/O of the airbase in England was asked why he sent him stateside, and he said that " I don't want to go down in history as the guy that got Jimmy Stewart killed". True story.

I remember my Dad imitate Foster Brooks when I was really young , he did He would be just like him ! Very funny! 😂🤣 They don't make comedians like him anymore! I miss those days!

If you haven't ever seen Foster Brooks roast Don Rickles you're in for a treat!

ps can you imagine being a young Air Sevice man in USAAF and a tall Actor In a Officer's Uniform walks up and its Jimmy Stewart....my God bless your soul Sir and all those young men...

great humor that has never been matched

Jimmy was a man to be respected and admired. His service to our country was something he was proud of, and as humble he was he was a fierce defender of his men and country. I don't think there's even 4 or 5 today that could have his attitude because in this spoiled and confused bunch of clueless idiots would attack him for "killing peaceful people". I'll stop here before I say something I shouldn't. Jimmy was a war hero and he deserves our highest respect and thanks from us all... RIP Jimmy, and thank you for your service to our country.

repeats of these today would blow away anything on tv .

"I opened fire at two o'clock, & shot off my wristwatch." Foster Brooks was AWESOME!!!

"Unfortunately, the areal photographs showed that we wiped out Trenton, NJ!" 🙂🙂🙂 My good God I died on that one!

The 'woof' line cracks me up, every time!

I'm so thankful to have grown up during that time when all those people were entertainers. I sorely miss the days, but everyone does eventually and says so. These too are those good old days, as the old song Carly Simon sang reminds us. Cherish them, don't waste or take them for granted. Love those around you. One day, memories will be all we have.

We will never see this kind of comedic talent ever again. All of these comedians and actors were very good at their craft. They knew when to throw an insult that was funny, not degrading or vulgar. Everyone was subject to a barrage of insults and they grinned and laughed because this was a time way before POLITICAL CORRECTNESS. Todays celebrity roasts can not equal or surpass this real comedy. Today there will be lawsuits for doing standup comedy like this. The KARENS of today have no spine or sense of humor. Don Rickles will always be know as the “Merchant of Venom” as Dean Martin would say, or the master insults. Don did his routine up until he died and it astonishes me that no one tried to cancel him. And Foster Brooks playing the drunk. He did this so convincingly that you had to laugh. Most everyone has a sense of humor and enjoys a good laugh. I don’t find the quality of humor today such as these Dean Martin Roasts had and still has. These were very funny and talented comedians and actors and these roasts will be enjoyed by new fans that will discover them. To keep good wholesome talent is to remember how it was done years ago. To watch these funny skits is paying tribute to REAL comedians. They are gone now but will always be loved for their talents that made us laugh.

The greatest, a true gentleman and friend to a lot of people.

Oh Mr Brooks I keep going back playing all your Roasting! Thanks for all the laughs sir

AMEN James, Jimmy is a man who served with honor, lead by example, his courage and commitment to the security of the USA, is something the entitled, spoiled know it's all something 98% of our population actually believe that we are the problem in the world, less than 2% of the population volunteer to serve in the military, that's pathetic that a big part of that 98% disrespect military men and women. These liberal trools think they can have anything they want whatever they want it, if they don't get what they want they start riots destroying peoples businesses and person property. I'm only saying this to contrast what the men and women did to secure the country for all who follow. Jimmy was a true American hero, those two words are so over used they've lost their meaning but Jimmy is the real deal, served with honor and distinction, he loved this country. Looking at what these liberal lugnuts have already done to purposefully hurt this country because they still don't accept the fact hillary lost and President Trump won., and will win again. Can't wait to see the meltdowns then. Everyone who puts on a military uniform is why these entitled, mellinial brats and punks are free to be the ignoramouses they are. Men like Jimmy are practically extinct today. Anyway... I digress. Thanks Jimmy, for your patriotism and service to this country and for us all (RIP).
