Dean Martin is one of the most beloved entertainers of our time!

His talent for acting, singing, comedy and living life to the fullest has secured his place in history as an entertainment icon!

After an enormously successful film and music career throughout the fifties and mid-sixties, Dean embarked upon a relatively new medium- television. The Dean Martin Show began on September 16, 1965, in which one of the segments, a celebrity roast, became wildly popular. Who better than "The Main Man" himself to publicly shower his legendary celebrity friends with ribbing insults and embarrassing stories.

Roasts 

A roast, in North American English, is an event in which an individual is subjected to a public presentation of comedic insults, praise, outlandish true and untrue stories, and heartwarming tributes. The implication being that the roastee is able to take the jokes in good humor and not as serious criticism or insult, and therefore show their good nature. It is seen as a great honor to be roasted, as the individual is surrounded by friends, fans, and well-wishers, who can receive some of the same treatment as well during the course of the evening. The party and presentation itself are both referred to as a roast. The host of the event is called the roastmaster. Anyone who is honored in such a way is said to have been "roasted".

Dean Martin 

Dean Martin (June 7, 1917 - December 25, 1995) was an Italian-American singer, film actor and comedian. He was one of the best known musical artists of the 1950s and 1960s. Martin's hit singles included "Memories Are Made of This", "That's Amore", "Everybody Loves Somebody", "Mambo Italiano", "Sway", "Volare" and "Ain't That A Kick In The Head?". One of the leaders of the "Rat Pack", he was a major star in four areas of show business: concert stage/night clubs, recordings, motion pictures, and television.

Nicknamed the "King of Cool",http://blog.blogtalkradio.com/celebrities/dean-martins-diva-daughter-elvis-called-dad-the-king-cool/http://www.thestar.com/entertainment/article/245966#survey Dean Martin became a pop culture icon for his music, his trademark charm and his drinking, although his glass while on stage contained apple juice. He was much respected wherever he went, and became a sort of unofficial ambassador of the Italian-American community.

Dean Martin Sites 

The Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts evolved from Martin's popular 1970's variety series. Several of these shows were "roasts" in which the guest of honor was showered with insults by other celebs.

Martin and Lewis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Martin and Lewis From Wikipedia. This article is about the American comedy duo Martin & Lewis.

Martin and Lewis were an American comedy team, comprising singer Dean Martin (as the "straight man") and comedian Jerry Lewis. The pair first met in 1944; their debut as a duo occurred at Atlantic City's 500 Club on July 24/25, 1946.

Before the teamed up they were both stand up comics. They worked together in nightclubs, on radio (starting in 1949) and in television and films. In the team's later years, it was no longer billed by the two men's surnames alone, as in their early radio work, but by their full names: "Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis." These separate identities helped them launch successful solo careers after the team's dissolution.
