Lisa Lampanelli's jokes were also quite controversial, with many targeting race and ethnicity. She received a mixed reaction from the audience, with some finding her humor offensive, while others found it hilarious.
The roast also featured appearances by Kid Rock, who performed a song about his relationship with Pamela Anderson, and Jimmy Kimmel dressed in a Canadian Mountie uniform to poke fun at Pamela's Canadian heritage.
Overall, the roast was a success, with high ratings and positive reviews. Pamela Anderson later stated that she enjoyed the experience and appreciated being able to laugh at herself.
