Following his skewering at the hands of the big bad Colbert, our president this year will be roasted by a comedian who, when I checked his entry on deadoraliveinfo.com, I was sure would bring me the cash prize for proving the site wrong. Mr. T and "Welcome Back Kotter" jokes are sure to abound.

Posted: 1/19/07 at 10:24amMaybe they should just move the whole thing to Branson and let Andy Williams and Engelbert Humperdink open with a duet.

I keep wondering why they don't get some of those "Christian comics" I used to have to tolerate at our youth conventions growing up.
Holy god, who knew Jesus was so boring?

Posted: 1/19/07 at 10:25amAnd for a little multi-culti flare, have Yakov Smirnoff do a set.

Posted: 1/19/07 at 10:30amOoh, bway, they could get Carman! He's a Christian singer AND a comedian. I mean, that movie about him being a boxer was supposed to be funny, right?

Posted: 1/19/07 at 10:34amWe used to play Rich Little's charades VCR game when i was a kid--I thought he was great on The Muppet Show. Maybe Dr. Teeth & Co. can open for him.

Posted: 1/19/07 at 10:36amI loved his solo version of Robin Hood that was shown on HBO! His take on Carol Channing playing Maid Marion may very well have turned me gay. Well...gay-er.

Oh, dear lord, lildogs -- we had that game, too.
Recently, my parents along with my sisters and their family found it in a closet, covered by about an inch-thick layer of dust, and they thought they'd try to play it. I think they said they lasted about 10 minutes before shoving it back in the closet.

"I think they said they lasted about 10 minutes before shoving it back in the closet. "
Once again, I'll let that golden opportunity pass....

Little said organizers of the event made it clear they don't want a repeat of last year's controversial appearance by Stephen Colbert, whose searing satire of President Bush and the White House press corps fell flat and apparently touched too many nerves.
"They got a lot of letters," Little said Tuesday. "I won't even mention the word 'Iraq.'"
Little, who hasn't been to the White House since he was a favorite of the Reagan administration, said he'll stick with his usual schtick -- the impersonations of the past six presidents.
"They don't want anyone knocking the president. He's really over the coals right now, and he's worried about his legacy," added Little, a longtime Las Vegas resident.

I would have chosen Sonny Bono, myself.
Next year: Through the miracle of cloning, the dinner will feature a brilliant comedian from the 1890s who will totally skewer the Chester A. Arthur administration.

Posted: 1/19/07 at 11:36amWill his back-up dancers be The Great American Dance Machine? A guest appearance from Charo would really spice things up! And the entire evening would be a total loss without a cameo by Barbi Benton.
