Having just watched a few preview clips of the Bob Saget roast airing Sunday on Comedy Central, all I have to say is…comedy, thy name is Cloris Leachman.

What a hoot.

Remember Bea Arthur’s gloriously vicious routine at the Pamela Anderson roast a couple of years ago? From the 90-seconds of Leachman – available for viewing at http://www.comedycentral.com/videos/index.jhtml?videoId=178767&title=preview-cloris-leachman – this one has potential to out-smut Ms. Bea’s comments.

The roast debuts at 10 p.m. Sunday, with Saget’s “Full House” co-star John Stamos (himself the target of many jokes – and Leachman’s libido) serving as Roast Master.

Also saying horribly-mean-but-hilarious things about Saget: Susie Essman, Jeff Garlin, Greg Giraldo, Gilbert Gottfried, Jon Lovitz, Norm Macdonald, Jim Norton, Brian Posehn and Jeffrey Ross.

Oh, Artie Lange, how we wish you could have gotten on that plane to participate.
