-We love Jeff Ross.
-
He's so funny.
-
He has a new show called "Historical Roasts,"
-
where he makes fun of different people from history.
-
So we thought we'd send him down to Rockefeller Plaza,
-
here in New York City, to practice his roasting skills.
-
Take a look at this.
-
-Jimmy, what's happening, buddy? It's Jeff Ross.
-
I'm warming up for my history roast
-
by roasting people out here on the street.
-
Not everybody wants to be roasted,
-
so maybe they'll let me roast their friends.
-
♪♪
-
I'm roasting people's friends today,
-
so do you want me to roast you or your friend?
-
-Not today, not today.
-
-You can't handle it?
-
-No, you should roast him, though.
-
-I don't really think it's shorts season quite yet, fellas.
-
But I'm really glad your buddy
-
is wearing Peter Dinklage's dress pants.

Who is your favorite historical figure?

What's your story, Jesse?

I'm applying this year.

-
So, Rayne, how does it feel knowing that your mom
-
looks like Dog the bounty hunter if it was a woman?

-Pretty awesome. Pretty awesome.

What do you do for a living?

Everybody's graduating right now.

of a big fan to do your hair.

We're looking for somebody who looks like Beethoven
-
if his mom drank while she was pregnant.
-
This month marks my 30th anniversary
-
as a stand-up comedian,
-
and the first show I ever did was on Fleet Week 30 years ago.
-
And there were sailors in the audience.
-
I made fun of them and they laughed.
-
And it was the best feeling ever
-
and I've been doing comedy ever since.
-
-Oh, wow. 30 years? That's a long time.
-
-You guys were literally semen 30 years ago.

-My thanks to Jeff Ross right there.
