This is great stuff. Simpler life and simpler times. Lovely people and good memories. I love seeing clips like this one.

They don’t make comedy like this anymore. This is the gold standard of comedy, pure geniuses. I’m glad I got to witness some of this gold standard of comedy. There will never be this level of talent again. I miss this era.

Life is so tragically short. I wish those three were still with us and in good health.

Sherman had the swagger. No doubt. Probably the most ever!!! How much joy did this man bring to the world. He will live forever!!! Movin on up!!!

George: get up Turkey! Stand up Chump! You lucky that I cant stand the sight of blood.Ali: your own blood! Lol.🤣

I never get tired watching this clip, its so funny

Forget Ali/Frazier. This is the fight of the century.LMAO

I never saw this b4, man of the hour Muhammad Ali dean martin (George & Weezy) beautiful

I sure do miss ALL these people. The 1970s were Heaven, and not just because I was a kid either, the Adults were MUCH happier too. Everything was better before the internet and technology were used to take freedom away. A free people are always happier.

The only thing I don't like about this show, is that I wasn't an adult yet. LOL 😂🤣🤣. Love it ❤️

I saw this on t.v. and George and Weezy brought the house down.

That was really funny. R.I.P. Muhammad Ali.

Good humor , good ole days

The greatest of all time

Loved watching "The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast" shows during my teen years in the 1970s.

I laugh every time , classic comedy

I adore Isabelle and Sherman!

Very good show, and good comments.

THIS WAS GREATTT👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾COULDN'T STOP LAUGHING 😁😁😁

Classic TV!

Sherman couldn't outbox Ali, and Ali couldn't outdance Sherman. The balance was solid.

SHERMAN: You know, you're lucky I can't stand the sight of blood. ALI: Especially, your own blood. That's comedy gold.

No political correctness!!!! Beautiful!!!

Awesome.....people need to peep this

The roasts they do today are nasty, vulgar and mostly no skills of being a writer or comedian. If they aren't talking about penises and vaginals. The Celebrities were from all genres and they were the GOATS of all times. Today roasts aren't funny just who can say the nastiest jokes. When you can sit with your family and watch, that was entertainment.

RIP champ

Jimmy I remember when when I saw you fight Sonny Liston. I could have been no more than seven or eight years old. My father was from the old school he favored Sonny Liston to win. So my Father's son I went along with my father and thinking this Sunday listening would win. From that moment I began to be a fan. I wish I could have met you in my lifetime. Rest in peace.

Am I the only one who finds these roasts very uncomfortable. The subject, the roastee, must have a grin plastered on his face throughout the duration of the roast. Most of the jokes don't warrant a laugh, yet the roastee must guffaw and shake with hilarity, barely able to catch his breath for the sheer overwhelming humor. I get embarrassed watching these. (I'm not watching it now, I only came here to vent)

Double Ghod Good point, however this is one of the few stages where you could see an intersecting of similar yet different schticks. Mr. Jefferson entering Ali universe would have had to been as tantelizing as LeVar Ball entering Pro Wrestling universe. Hey wait. Your point is well taken that these meets soon go downhill as they can't sustain their novelty. In recent years I seem to recall Bieber and Shaq being more real and not smiling unless they found the joke harmless and indeed funny.

Not Ali. He could take it. When he met Elvis, before they even spoke a word, Elvis did a martial arts move and kicked him to the ground. His charisma, charm and arrogance put him in a position to not take things seriously. Ali was cracking up while lying on the ground. Can you imagine? This is why he is the greatest.

The "older" roasts...the roastee knew what s/he was in for, and there were certain lines that people did not cross. NOW, there is no line...i remember seeing one roast where a person spoke about the size of the vagina of the roastee....and she just sat there pretending to laugh her head off.

Ali was as great an entertainer as he was a boxer---and human being.
