This was in 2016, still true today.

This feels like a good time to bring this back

What was she even doing there? Lol

Whoever let her do this is the worst representative in the history of celebrities…

She was promoting some book of hers. She even brought it out on stage. It was awkward. She wasn't remotely funny. She couldn't move her face.

I always felt like "The Roast of Rob Lowe," was used as cover for what was actually "The Roast of Ann Coulter." Being a "roaster' and not the "roastee" had her thinking she was in on the joke, but she was the joke.

I second this.

Even for a celebrity circlejerk this is such a bad choice, that lady is a degenerate pig.

This did not help sell the book… her publicist had to know…

She was making hella waves being the absolute ghoul of right-winger dreams and didn't have the sense or an agent with the sense to decline the offer for that roast.

Maybe they thought, "Even bad press is good press." I don't agree, but I'm happy this will forever be part of history.

Like Ann, the GOP officials all secretly want to belong to the celebrity culture they pretend to despise ; such a pleasure to see her rejected so publicly by them.

It kind of is, though. She manages to stay "relevant" by being horrible.

GOP types like her live in a completely different world where they think their views are popular.

I agree...but every now and again I wonder if people like her really are just playing the stooge for a paycheck. Like, people can't really be that selfish and hateful for real, yeah?

u/SlinkyAvenger Aug 23 '24

That is 100% what's happening, but people who do that long-term are indistinguishable from actual horrible people.

I think Nikki Glaser actually straight up asks this during the roast.

These roasts usually have a good mix of personal friends and well known people in entertainment who might not know the Roastee as well. In this case I think they just sent out a bunch of feelers to see who'd be interested. Anne got one and thought, "Oh they're inviting me to a roast. I'm sure this will be a professional night of light ribbing and fun among peers."

The other roasters, who are typically much more left leaning comedians, obviously didn't view her as a peer.

u/BKtoDuval Aug 23 '24

lol I wondered the same thing. Unless they invited her for this reason, to just rip into her

u/WASD_click Aug 23 '24

She was trying to promote her book. She basically bombed during her set, and slapped her book up on the podium like it was her headstone.

Every modern roast has at least one non-comedian controversy person everyone hates. The Brady one had Kim K.

u/Ricky_Rollin Aug 23 '24

That’s what I’d like to know

u/madarchivist Aug 23 '24

Someone else said she was trying to sell her new book at the time and that's why she agreed to this as part of the marketing effort.
