After a hiatus of five years, there would be three final 'Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts' in 1984, for Joan Collins, Mr. T and Michael Landon. Her current series DYNASTY all the rage, Joan Collins is a fitting subject to be 'Woman of the Year,' with appearances from her producer, Aaron Spelling, and co-star, John Forsythe: "I'm defending a woman who would be much more fun to attack!" Don Rickles gets ribbed by Milton Berle: "Don Rickles is to comedy what Orson Welles is to pole vaulting!" Angie Dickinson talks about Joan's recent layout for Playboy (at age 50), introducing Charlie Callas as a photographer, demonstrating some of the poses that go with the pictures. Dom DeLuise appears as a screenwriter to tell why Joan's latest picture was X-rated: "it features all of her ex-husbands!" THE LOVE BOAT's Gavin MacLeod reveals how Joan is received all over the world: "At the Virgin Islands, she was treated like a total stranger!" Beatrice Arthur on Joan's recently going to confession: "and was held over three weeks!" Red Buttons, discussing what Captain Hook's mother said to little Hook: "for God's sake, don't scratch it!" Anne Baxter, a year before she died, relishing the chance to play bad girls over virtuous ones: "evil spelled backwards is live!" Phyllis Diller: "she was 21 before she discovered cars had front seats!" Zsa Zsa Gabor, offering advice about having sex before marriage: "before the wedding or after, but not during the ceremony!" And Rich Little wondering what Joan's former husband Anthony Newley must think of her recent success: "What Kind of Fool Am I?"
