Quentin Tarantino Friars Club Roast has been postponed

After the sudden and unexpected death of Tarantino’s longtime friend and editor, Sally Menke, the star-studded event has been postponed. Sad, but how have we not heard of this roast before today?

I know that sometimes pretty big celebs get roasted and there are no cameras around, but this seems like one that you’d want to see. A big-time Hollywood director with a dirty mouth and a wild streak. The guys in known as a crazy person in some circles and I imagine that the material would be endless. Did I mention the only person in Hollywood that drops more f-bombs than Tarantino would be the host?

A new date for the roast, which was scheduled to feature Samuel L. Jackson as roast master, will be announced in the coming weeks, the Friars said. According to the Friars Club Website, expected attendees included Uma Thurman, Rosario Dawson, Sarah Silverman, Patricia Arquette, Harvey Keitel, Neve Campbell, Christopher Walken, Kurt Russell and many more.

I know that Comedy Central quits filming Friar’s Club roasts a few years back and started doing their own, but Sam Jackson, Christopher Walken and Quentin Tarantino on the stage together? I’d much rather see that than watch people make fun of David Hasselhoff for an hour.

OK, that last statement is probably not true, but I still wish we could watch this profanity-laced spectacle on television.
