That was great. It was also nice to see comedy that was devoid of swearing and not mean spirited. Not that it always has to be but still, I really enjoyed that.

Ah the memories. When I was a kid my oldest brother and I had a ventriloquist act..............then I got too big to sit on his lap .
Did anyone ever catch the ventriloquist on the old Sinbad TV show who had the dummy named Shy Tony? When the dummy would answer a question, he would whisper the answer in the ventriloquists ear . No one but the ventriloquist could atest to the fact that the dummy was speaking. He was shy right!
It took Sinbad a few minutes to catch on and he was pissed that some one let this guy who was supposed to be a ventriloquist on his show and eventually threw him off the stage. The guy was hilarious. I laughed so hard I nearly wet my pants . For some reason,  Sinbad failed to find the humor in the fact that this guy had made him look like an ass . The audience loved it .

Guys like that could give today's comedians lessons in how to be funny.  One thing I really miss is the celebrity roasts - which used to be hosted by Dean Martin, Red Buttons and others.  Their speakers were HILARIOUS, but all G-rated.  Crude language wasn't needed.  I happened across a roast of Pam Anderson a while back and it was simply disgusting - all crotch jokes.

Here's how it SHOULD be done by one guy who always cracked me up - Charlie Callas - at a roast of Frank Sinatra.  He has Sinatra in tears at one point:
