Comedy Central Roast of William Shatner (2007)

EW's GRADE
B

Details Release Date: Apr 20, 2007; DVD Release Date: Apr 20, 2007; Movie Rated: Unrated; With: William Shatner; Distributor: Comedy Central

While the extended and uncensored Comedy Central Roast of William Shatner is full of guttural laughs from punchlines we can't even think about printing, the set-ups soon become redundant: Hit his hair, his weight, and his overacting (after first taking shots at fellow roasters George Takei and Farrah Fawcett). The only truly unexpected moment comes in the behind-the-scenes extras, where we learn that Betty White draws the comedy line at the use of the word dong.
