| After an enormously successful
film and music career throughout the fifties and mid-sixties,
Dean embarked upon a relatively new medium- television. The
Dean Martin Show began on September 16, 1965, in which one
of the segments, a celebrity roast, became wildly popular. Who better
than "The Main Man" himself to publicly shower his legendary celebrity
friends with ribbing insults and embarrassing stories.
The Dean
Martin Celebrity Roasts became a fast favorite with television
audiences and soon evolved to become its own network series. At
the time Dean Martin had one of the largest contracts between a
network and a star.
The Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts were a fixture on the NBC Thursday
night lineup from 1973 to 1984. In those 11 years, Dean and
his panel of pals successfully ridiculed, embarrassed and made fun
of legendary stars like, Frank Sinatra, Lucille Ball, Sammy Davis
Jr. and Dean Martin himself, to name a few.
