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:

You mean a threesome? JMK, a nice lady like you––––I’m shocked, shocked I tell you. And we thought you just thought about “nice” things.

Oh, Phyllis, you found out about the real moi. Actually I never tried a threesome and they tell us that we should try something new and as often as possible. That seemed more exciting to me than bungee jumping.

Me neither. I think we could come up with something else that’s new and exciting if that’s your fancy. Me? I’ve had enough of free fall, I’ll settle for what I do have.

Thank you, Frank! I would love to heard her whole spiel at that roast. Her timing is perfect. Actually, she is one of our great dramatic actresses on the stage today.

I’ve had the privilege of meeting Ms. Leachman recently, and she is a class act. Gracious, accessible, absolutely lovely - and now bluer than all get-out. Way to go, Cloris!
