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.
