Donald Trump is the butt of the joke at his Comedy Central Roast... with The Situation and Snoop Dogg leading the hilarity



They are possibly one of the most random group of celebrities to ever have been assembled.

But last night Jersey Shore star Mike 'The Situation' Sorrentino and rapper Snoop Dogg were just two of the stars who took on media mogul Donald Trump at his Comedy Central Roast.

The 64-year-old was the subject of the famous stand up comedy ritual held at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York.

The billionaire had to endure a verbal battering from comedians and TV stars throughout the two-hour show, hosted by Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane.

According to gossip website TMZ.com, Trump had been entirely against appearing on the show but then found out he would be earning $2million and changed his mind - before donating his entire fee to charity.

The comedians involved in the show included Larry King, Whitney Cummings and Lisa Lampanelli.

However the audience was made up a strange mix of Trump fans. As well as Snoop, they included Ice T's curvaceous wife Coco and actress Marlee Matlin, who is currently appearing on Trump's show Celebrity Apprentice.

The event traditionally involves an individual being publicly subjected to jokes, insults, stories and tributes in the hope they can take them in good humour to show their good nature.

Before the show started, the celebrities took to the red carpet to discuss what first comes to mind when they think of Trump.

Comedian Anthony Jeselnik replied: 'Arrogance. You really feel like you want to get under that armour and really do some damage.'

While Snoop Dogg added: 'We both love money, we both know how to get it and we're bosses.'

Other celebrities who have endured such a spectacle include Joan Collins, Hugh Hefner, Chevy Chase and David Hasselhoff.

Trump arrived at the event with his wife Melania and appeared relaxed and good humoured throughout the show, even getting up at the end and making a speech himself.

Beforehand, Trump had said: 'These are rough, tough comedians and they are going to do a number on every aspect of Donald Trump and every part of my body.'

Trump also used the occasion to confirm he is seriously considering running for President.

He said: 'We are really thinking about it. I'm going to make a determination by June.

'The country is doing very badly and everyone is just pushing us around like a bunch of babies and it shouldn't be like that.'

However, Trump may not get very far in his journey, as the only star at the event last night to confess he would vote for the mogul was The Situation, who said: 'Depending on his views and what he's about, Yeah, definitely, I'd vote for him.'

But Snoop was slightly more unsure, saying: 'Would I vote for him against Obama? Hell, no!'



The show will air Tuesday March 15 on Comedy Central.
