Cloris Leachman Steals the Show at Roast of Bob Saget

Eighty-two-year-old firecracker Cloris Leachman exposed her quick wit during an appearance on Comedy Central’s "The Roast of Bob Saget." The "Young Frankenstein" and "Mary Tyler Moore Show" legend stole the show when she opened her comments by saying, "I am not here to roast Bob Saget. I’m here to f—- John Stamos."

Leachman’s award-winning career started in the late 1940s. She studied at the Actor’s Studio under the famed Elia Kazan. But she is best remembered for her role of nosy landlady Phyllis Lindstrom on the "Mary Tyler Moore Show," and as Frau Blücher in the original Mel Brooks movie, "Young Frankenstein."

The eight-time Emmy Award winner brought down the house with naughty references to handsome John Stamos as well as her late friend Jack Benny. Her risqué remarks can be viewed below:

I actually did laugh out loud when I watched this. Cloris is a smart, sassy, brassy broad. My favorite kind.

ok so I know I’m about a week late on this thread but I just have to say, Frank if you like the movie you’ll love the show. Some of your favorite lines that you just quoted above are songs. “Roll in Ze Hay’ being one of my favorite songs of the show. If you get a chance you should check it out, and if not at least download some of the music. I think you’d enjoy!
