Why was Cloris Leachman there ?


How's she connected to the show ? She wasn't on Full House. Her jokes were so dirty, it was refreshing. D'you think someone wrote those jokes for her, they were okay for a professional comedian, and outstanding for a non-comedian.

You WILL respect my AUTHORITAAAAH !!!!

I don't think anyone there wrote their own jokes.

One of my family members heard her on the radio last week. Cloris said that before the roast, she had never even met Bob Saget. She also said they had a group of writers and that they had written this speech and wanted her specifically to deliver it.

re: Betty White -- at least she knows Shatner, and has worked with him.

Aw, that's disappointing, especially because knowing Cloris Leachman's work, she definately could have written that herself. Same with Bea Arthur. I don't think Betty White could have, though.

Well, both Cloris Leachman and Bob Saget are Jewish, so maybe that's the connection?

No, seriously, she probably just wanted to get "warmed up" for her appearance on Dancing With The Stars.

Why was Cloris there? She said why, plain as day "I'm not here to roast Bob Saget, I'm hear to *beep* John Stamos."

That is so disappointing that she didn't write her own speech. In fact it completely ruins it. what a shame.
