Dean Martin Celebrity Roast-Collectors Edition DVD Review
Synopsis:
THE DEAN MARTIN CELEBRITY ROASTS were a fixture on NBC s Thursday night lineup

ridiculed, embarrassed and made fun of legendary stars like Johnny Carson, Bob
Hope, Lucille Ball, Jackie Gleason, Don Rickles and Dean Martin himself, to name
a few, and America loved it!
