This act is relatable as we have all been with someone who has had a bit too much to drink. Foster Brooks was unlike any other comedian. Brooks is best remembered for his appearances on The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast during the 1970s, where he roasted other comedians, such as Don Rickles, Johnny Carson and Lucille Ball, and serious public figures such as writer Truman Capote, consumer activist Ralph Nader., and former vice-president Hubert Humphrey. When Foster was on stage, everyone laughed! In 1975 when Lucille Ball was the Woman of the Hour at Dean Martin's Roast, Foster Brooks roasted her in an uproariously funny fashion. Jack Benny, Henry Fonda, Dick Martin and Dan Rowan, Don Rickles, Bob Hope, Ginger Rogers, Totie Fields, Milton Berle, Rich Little, Foster Brooks, Vivian Vance and Nipsey Russell are the people who showed up to throw jokes and insults. The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast: Lucille Ball (1975) The legendary Lucille Ball is the guest for this episode of the Dean Martin Celebrity Roast series. He perfected the role of the gentleman who had been overserved. In 1973, Foster joined Lucille Ball on her show “Here’s Lucy.” The episode was appropriately named “Tipsy Through The Tulips.”
