“Ten minutes, Mr. Dunkin.”
Bob Dunkin was new on the celebrity roast circuit but he wasn’t sure he was up to it. His first go the prior evening had fallen flat, so much so that his fellow comedians hadn’t made fun of him. It’d been that bad.
Dorthy Rosenblatt, 50-year veteran of the circuit, found Bob furiously smoking and knew instantly what was going on. In her gravely voice, she said, “Kid, this one’s being televised. Treat the audience to somethin’ funny. Inspire the rest of us to bring our A game. Now go be funny.”
He flopped. Badly.
