Lisa Lampanelli: Comedy Central roast of Joan Rivers "Not worth doing if I ain't roastmaster"

[Amerigo Vespucci]

There's a reason insult master Lisa Lampanelli didn't show up to the Comedy Central roast of Joan Rivers this weekend -- if she couldn't be in charge, it wasn't worth her precious time.

A week after Kathy Griffin was announced as the roastmaster for the event in Los Angeles, Lampanelli -- who's usually the headliner at these things -- dropped the following message on her Twitter page:

"No Joan Rivers roast for me this year. Not worth doing if I ain't roastmaster -- besides summer is for fun, not work."

Burn.

1. Who cares. She's terminally unfunny anyway (Lampanelli, that is; Rivers is only sadly unfunny) nt

2. Roasts are generally unfunny these days

Bunch of no-name comics (Andy Dick?) with no association to the roastee reading bad jokes from a note card.

3. Lisa Lampanelli and Joan Rivers deserve each other
