Quentin Tarantino Pictures: Quentin Tarantino attends the New York Friars Club roast of Quentin Tarantino at the New York Hilton and Towers on December 1, 2010 in New York City.
"Quentin Tarantino will join a small group of entertainers who have been brave enough to sit in the hot-seat and be roasted by their peers. Having seen 'Pulp Fiction' and 'Kill Bill,' I can only pray that he understands that we only roast the ones we love," jokes Friars Club Dean Freddie Roman.
Among those who have been roasted by the legendary club, Humphrey Bogart, WC Fields, Lucille Ball, Sammy Davis, Jr., Johnny Carson, Richard Pryor, Bruce Willis, Whoopi Goldberg, among others.
The Friars Club was founded in 1904 as a meeting place for entertainers and over the years has achieved legendary status. Its membership includes the likes of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Lucille Ball, Barbra Streisand, John Travolta and Milton Berle. The Friars Club "Monastery" is headquartered in Midtown Manhattan in a classic townhouse and is a haven for entertainers young and old.
