I thought he was hilarious! This will be the first Comedy Central Roast since he passed away, right? Sucks that he's gone. :-(
Edit: Oops, forgot about the Donald Trump Roast! My bad...
I think the Donald Trump roast was the first one after Greg passed. He was the best, true. He and Lisa Lampanelli, who I heard isn't in Sheen's roast either. Too bad.
shareit would suck if he was there tonight, and probably smell, ba duh bump

Ever notice that when someone dies people tend to suddenly start praising them? Sure Greg was good but he wasn't that good. I have lost count of how many times I have seen posts that seem to praise him as the greatest comedian his time.

No, he WAS that good. He was pretty much my favorite contemporary comic long before he died. Sure, he has good roasts, but no one ever heard his first proper stand up comedy release, Good Day to Cross a River. He could have reached George Carlin or Bill Hicks-level infamy if he were around a little longer.
shareAgreed.
shareHe was also not Pryor but he delivered some great material that would of have you laughing on the floor.
sharenomad, I've been saying how hilarious I thought he was, before he passed away, so shut up...
shareHe was my favorite of the roasters. I loved his delivery.
He improved over time too. His roasts of Pamela Anderson and William Shatner were alright, but later on would just crack me up when he roasted Flavor Flav, David Hasselhoff, Bob Saget, Joan Rivers, etc..
Yeah Greg owned all. I miss that guy.
