Comedy Central Roast is a hilarious Television show that premiered on Comedy Central back in 2003. The show is known for bringing together top comedians and celebrities to roast and poke fun at a particular celebrity or public figure. In a typical episode, the featured celebrity takes the hot seat as his or her closest friends, family members, and fellow celebrities enliven the stage with ruthless and uncensored commentary.

The 2003 Comedy Central Roast consisted of Denis Leary, Jeff Garlin, and Sonya Rose Atkinson as the comedians who performed the roast. Denis Leary is a well-known comedian, actor, writer, and producer who rose to fame with his hit songs and humor-rendition of “A$$hole anthem.” Jeff Garlin is an American actor, writer, and stand-up comedian known for his role as Jeff Greene on the HBO show "Curb Your Enthusiasm," while Sonya Rose Atkinson is a stand-up comedian known for her absurdist style, wit, and humor non-conformist.

All three comedians delivered a hilarious and memorable performance during the roast, which went on for about two hours. The show was filmed in front of a live studio audience in Los Angeles, California, and televised on Comedy Central.

The featured celebrity of the 2003 Comedy Central Roast was not mentioned, as the show usually rotates celebrities, and the identities are not typically disclosed until closer to the airing date.

As with all roasts, the comedy is typically edgy, provocative, and not suitable for younger viewers or the easily offended. The comedians, along with their celebrity guests, trade jokes, insults, and jabs in a playful, friendly, but ultimately fierce and competitive manner.

The banter and humor are often of a personal and risque nature, with nothing off-limits, including the celebrity's physical appearance, personality quirks, and even their darkest secrets.

As the feature of the 2003 Comedy Central Roast, the mystery celebrity sat in the hot seat, taking in the barrage of humorous verbal blows aimed at them from all angles.

The guest comedians took turns delivering their roast, with each being given their fair share of the spotlight. The celebrity guest was also given the opportunity to defend themselves and dish out their own hilarious jabs and retorts.

The show’s format makes for excellent comedic content, and the guest selection by Comedy Central ensures that the audience is sure to be entertained by the caliber of comedians involved in each roast.

Overall, the 2003 Comedy Central Roast featuring Denis Leary, Jeff Garlin, and Sonya Rose Atkinson was a hilariously funny and entertaining experience for its audience. The show's format may not be for everyone, but for those who enjoy edgy and irreverent comedy, the Comedy Central Roast is a must-watch.

Comedy Central Roast is a series that ran for 12 seasons (20 episodes) between August 12, 2007 and on Comedy Central
