Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts came about in the final season of Dean Martin's variety show (The Dean Martin Show), when it was declining in popularity. They added a celebrity roast feature to try to pick up the rating, which proved very popular to television audiences. After the show's cancellation, Martin signed a contract with NBC to do Celebrity Roasts Specials lasting for almost a decade.

Dean Martin Celebrity Roast ran from August 1, 1974 to December 1, 1974. Famous roastees includes Michael Landon, Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., Jackie Gleason, Jimmy Stewart, Bob Hope, Ronald Reagan, Lucille Ball, Danny Thomas, George Burns, Jack Benny, Johnny Carson, Ed McMahon, Don Rickles, Angie dickinson, Carol O'Connor, Redd Foxx, Hugh Hefner, Wilt Chamberlain, Telly Savalas, Bette Davis, Hank Aaron, Evel Knievel, Mr. T, Mohammed Ali, and and Dean Martin himself.

A celebrity roast is an event in which a celebrity is subject to insults, praise, true and untrue unusual stories, and tributes. The celebrity is surrounded by friends, fans, and family during the roast (party and presentation). It is considered an honor to be roasted.

Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis were famous for their shows including both comedy and music, in fact they were called "the crooner and the clown". There are a lot of stories about the way they met and how they became special artists. Someone says that they met in New York in a club because before meeting each other they were already performing in little shows around the Big Apple. Then their first show took place in 1946 at 500 Club in Atlantic City. They say that this show was almost a flop, so they decided to improvise, and did whatever popped into their heads at the moment. In this way they gave birth to their funny shows, most of times they were made by Martin's singing and Lewis that tried to bother him, to interrupt the music, then they ended with singing together. This was surely a great success and everybody had fun and understood that it was something really special and unique in his genre. So the two decide to team-up and were booked for radio series and for a lot of movies.

The critics most of times were kind towards Lewis, it wasn't the same with Dean Martin, because they tended to underestimate his contribution to the shows. Lewis didn't believe that and was always ready to praise Dean Martin and his role, he knew that without Martin on his side the show couldn't be as it was so he kept ignoring criticisms. But the fact that critics and public didn't believe in the importance of Dean Martin in the couple led the producers of shows and movies to elaborate Lewis' role instead of his one, then his singing was less and less interesting and colored and he wasn't able to develop his skills as he did after in the solo career. In the years critics didn't stop with their attacks so the two didn't manage to go on in their joint career, so the result was a lot of fights between them, and after 10 years of working side by side they decided to broke up. This was the end of a legend, nothing would have been the same anymore.
