Oh, wow.

We taped the roast of William Shatner last night, and watched it tonight after fixing dinner.

Holy Shit, that's funny. I'd really like to get a DVD of the entire evening, as opposed to the TV-safe cut.

Also, George Takei still has the 3rd most likely voice used by God, which makes his verbal cockslapping of various attendees even funnier.

(Takei is gay/cockslapping joke)

How much of the roast consisted of mocking Shatner's unique inflection?

Absolutely - none - of the - Roast.

Wait, no, - all of it.

I thought the Roast was great. I really liked the opening tribute to his movies/TV shows. I also thought it was more tame than the Roast of Pamela Anderson, which I saw is on DVD, so you should be able to get one of Shatner sometime.

I didn't think the host (George from Seinfeld) was that great some of the time. But overall, it (and he) were excellent.

I think Takei's assault of Shatner caught him a good bit off-guard.

I think several parts of it were cut for "Just plain wrong" factor, or too difficult to edit for TV.

However, I will admit that Farah Fawcett seemed too drunk, or too brain damaged, or both to really be on stage...
