The Other Shark Week: David Hasselhoff Gets Roasted

More proof that it’s August and Shark Week may no longer be enough to hold our attention during the dog days: The Friars Club decided to Roast David Hasselhoff. That’s a pretty low-hanging roast, as it were. Said host Seth MacFarlane: “How can you embarrass a man who so thoroughly embarrasses himself?” Yes, well.

Anyway, comedian Lisa Lampanelli‘s remarks are getting some attention this morning (though it seems they are not out of line with previous appearances) for pushing the envelope; she apparently made jokes about the Holocaust, Roger Ebert, and noted “Hasselhoff’s liver was so black it could have sex “with two of the Kardashian sisters.”

Not to be outdone, Whitney Cummings roasted a blue streak. You can watch it below. It is not safe for work. The rest of the clips are here. In one of them Pamela Anderson recounts the acting advice she once received from Hasselhof.
