The comedy roast begins with a pre-opening from Chuck D, Flavor Flav cohort from Public Enemy, being very funny "Chuck D wanted to be here tonight... but D stands for Dignity". The group of comedians was chosen perfectly for this comedy roast, leaving no guest on the stage untouched with a abundantly vulgar humor and so scandalous, including brutal references to Magic Johnson, James Brown's corpse, Michael Vick and even Chris Benoit.
Considered to be one of the first "hype men" in hip hop, famous for his catchphrases along with his large clock around the neck, Flavor Flav was roasted like no other before, the comedy roasts of Pamela Anderson, Jeff Foxworthy or William Shatner, being so soft comapare to this one.
