Friars Club’s “So You Think You Can Roast!?” event with Ricky Schroder
Where: Friars Club
Who was there: Guests included Ricky Schroder, Erin Gray, Joel Higgins, D.B. Sweeney, Gilbert Gottfried, Seth Herzog, and Alan Zweibel.
Other details: It was an 80s reunion at NYC’s Friars Club on Friday, when actor, producer and director Ricky Schroder was honored at the club’s “So You Think You Can Roast!?” series. For the first time since the show last aired, actors Erin Gray and Joel Higgins, Schroder’s parents in the 1980s sitcom “Silver Spoons,” were brought together to poke fun at their fellow co-star, alongside Roastmaster D.B. Sweeney and judges for the evening, Gilbert Gottfried, Seth Herzog, and Alan Zweibel. Schroder fired back at jokes from his peers with “I’m the highlight of your careers!” but was a good sport and took all their light-hearted digs. Before the night wrapped, Schroder left the crowd laughing with one final reminder: “For those of you still wondering who I am, I’m not the kid from A Christmas Story…”
