I watched this earlier today and I had a hard time getting through it. First of all, Cheech Marin doesn't even make an appearance. They have some hack come out and do a bad impersonation of him halfway through the show.
Surprisingly, Marsha Warfield (Roz from Night Court) was the highlight of the "roast". She addresses Tommy, and actually bases jokes around him and the stoner culture he helped create. Her delivery is raw and honest, and I wonder why she failed to have had more success as a comedienne.
Jerry Seinfeld gets up and delivers a short off-topic stand up routine about movie theaters and obscure references that have nothing to do with Tommy Chong. Most of the other comics don't seem to have any clue about Cheech and Chong either. Some joke about just doing the roast for the money, and you soon realize they aren't joking. They just want their 10 minutes to spit out their bits and get airtime.
I'm going to watch the more recent "Cheech & Chong Roasted" produced by TBS late last year in a hope to have some laughs. I say "hope" because it is hosted by Brad Garrett.
