Claws Out :: At Rob Lowe's Roast, Ann Coulter Was the Target

Rob Lowe may have been roasted, but it was Ann Coulter who was savaged on Saturday night, reported Variety.

Coulter agreed to participate in a roast for Lowe for Comedy Central at the Saturday taping, using her appearance to promote her new book about Donald Trump, "In Trump We Trust."

It wasn't long, though, that her fellow roasters turned their venom on her, which led Coulter to quip: "I want to welcome everybody to the Ann Coulter roast with Rob Lowe."

"Not even the audience felt bad for Coulter's slaughtering," Variety reported. "During her performance, she was booed when promoting her new book, 'In Trump We Trust,' and roaster and 'SNL' star Pete Davidson got more laughs than she did when making a sarcastic face at a joke of hers that fell flat."

Amongst Davidson's zingers were:

"If you are here, Ann, who is scaring the crows away from our crops?"

"Last year, we had Martha Stewart, who sells sheets and now we have Ann Coulter who cuts eye holes in them."

He was joined by Peyton Manning, who hit Coulter with: "I'm not the only athlete up here. As you know, earlier this year, Ann Coulter won the Kentucky Derby."

Other Coulter jibes included:

"Ann is one of the most repugnant, hateful, hatchet-face bitches alive," said British comedian Jimmy Carr. "It's not too late to change, Ann. You could kill yourself."

"The only person you will ever make happy is the Mexican who digs your grave, said comedienne Nikki Glaser.

And "Ann Coulter has written 11 books, 12 if you include Mein Kampf,"

Jewel joined in with: "I do want to say as a feminist that I can't support everything that's been said tonight. But as someone who hates Ann Coulter, I'm delighted."

Jeff Ross hit Coulter with, "Ann is against gay marriage. What is your thinking on that? If I can't get a husband, they can't either?"

Even Lowe offered a jab: "After seeing your set tonight, we've seen the first bombing you can't blame on a Muslim."

"But Coulter, for her part, was transparent about her intentions," the Variety report continued.

"I'm only here for all the love and respect I have for Rob Lowe and all of the talented performers tonight. It has nothing to do with the book I published four days ago," she joked.

"When the fact that Coulter would be joining the roast was revealed, it obviously elicited many questions. She has no clear connection to Lowe - even non-comedians Jewel and Manning had loose ties to the actor - and she's not a comedian. But Lowe attempted to explain the choice at a Q&A with press backstage.

"'I think the best daises are the daises that have people where you're like, 'What the f-k'? You need every flavor to make these things go right and cut them all together for a show,' he said."

The "Comedy Central Roast of Rob Lowe" airs on Labor Day on Comedy Central.
