It was supposed to be a Comedy Central roast of Rob Lowe but that was before everyone found out that Ann Coulter was joining the dais Saturday. As a result, most of the nights best jokeswere directed at the conservative commentator, not the 52-year-old man-of-honor who looked rather neglected in his center stage chair.

Even Coulter couldnt help but call out the irony during the pre-taped event thatll air on Labor Day: I want to welcome everybody to the Ann Coulter roast with Rob Lowe.

Held on the Sony lot outside of Hollywood Saturday, the Lowe roast featured first-time participants like Peyton Manning, Jewel, Nikki Glaser, and Ralph Macchio, who (predictably) made fun of Lowes old sex tape and his myriad TV failures. But everyone Jeffrey Ross, Pete Davidson, British comedian Jimmy Carr, Rob Riggle and roastmaster David Spade, included saved their most viciously funny material for Coulter, who actually bombed when she finally took the mic (just to flash her latest book). Not that it mattered, really; she already got the spotlight.

Everyone is asking, why is Ann Coulter here tonight? said Lowe, who closed out his own special with a incredible set of killer yuks. Because the right-to-lifers wanted everyone to see what abortion looks like up close.

Oh, there were lots more Coulter cutdowns. Here are some of the best Coulter jokes and 13 about everybody else (even Lowe himself).

The Comedy Central Roast of Rob Lowe will air at 10 p.m. ET on Labor Day.
