Now that is how a celebrity roast should be done, great panel.

Loved Don Lane and Bert Newton Together on the Don Lane Show , they were a great team . I would not have believed a tall lanky yank would have fitted in with the Australian raw humor Aussies dish out .. Don Lane was marvelous in his understanding of it , his acceptance of it and in fact his love and appreciation of it . I still miss the Don lane show to this day . Thank you so much for this video.

Thanks for sharing this. I thought Bert had done it all but no, I was wrong. He did this roast just to add to his list of accomplishments. Don & Bert were a formidable team & Don's show was unsurpassed & will never come again. How great these celebs were but sad that many have left us. Hopefully Don & Bert have met up again & are livening up the heavens. How will we carry on without them?

Thank goodness for some parts of the internet to allow us to either remember these things or to let a new generation see what entertainment used to be like before the onset of second video apps.

I enjoyed the don lane show over the years , I wish there was something to equal it now. TV today is rubbish.

Bert newton made this man, imagine watching the don lane show without bert

Don Lane was Great , sadly Missed Don Best Variety Show on Television

Kerry Packer not sparing any expense here to get Sir David Frost!

Nothing like this these days

Thanks for sharing!

I have never seen this before. I thought I’d seen everything Don Lane has done. I used to have his picture hanging behind the curtain in my bedroom because I wasn’t allowed to have anything on the wall. And there’s Paul who has recently commented on Bert’s death, luv ya Paul. Come home! Have no idea who Fred Daley is. Love the Dias, everyone with a glass of water for each guest. Very un Australian.

Rip don lane what a great entertainer he was ( sadly his resting place is macquarie park cemetery north ryde )

Compare the calibre of comedic prowess then to the dross thats dished up on TV today and you can see how far we've fallen.

Great show. However, I think that the 15 women were in the audience to get their alimony and child support payments!

Why so few celebrities at Don's roast considering his substantive contribution to live australian television for 8 wonderful years. I don't get it.

Compared to the roasts in the US of the same era, with the big stars there, Foster Brooks, Don Rickles etc. this is a 100% flop!
