“So You Think You Can Roast!?” Finals
Where: Friars Club
Who was there: Guests included Dennis Rodman, Claudia Jordan, Brande Roderick, Chuck Zito, Geraldo Rivera, John Salley, Matt Iseman, Justin Biberi, and Alex Forstenakusler.
Other details: Last night, during the finals of the Friars Club’s “So You Think You Can Roast!?” competition, six up-and-coming comedians took turns roasting Dennis Rodman, along with celebrity roasters Matthew Iseman, Brande Roderick, Claudia Jordan, and roastmaster John Salley. Rodman, clad in a flamboyant plaid sports coat, sparkly-silver sequined top and gold-colored velour pants, took it on the chin with many of the night’s jokes referencing his recent adventures overseas. The roasters had more than enough fodder from the former NBA star’s career to grill him with, with gems like: “Dennis got pulled over a few years ago by the police. It was the first time ever he got 3 points in one night!” In the end, it was Rodman that left the crowd speechless when he choked up and delivered a tear-jerking, emotional ‘thank you’ to all the roasters.
