Ron Funches Talks About The Upcoming Roast of Ric Flair During Starrcast Week in Las Vegas.

I can’t believe it, when Conrad asked me if I could be apart of the roast, he didn’t even tell me who we were gonna roast. I did it last year with Bruce Prichard, and I definitely wanted to be at Double or Nothing either way. And I said, ‘Yeah man, I’d love to be involved.’…And when he told me it was going to be Ric Flair; just from my special and Ric Flair being in my special and we kinda started a friendship there. I went to his birthday party this last year, to me I am truly living a dream and it’s just a shame I gotta go and mock him relentlessly {laughs}….. I know Tony Schiavone is gonna be there, I think that’s something I could announce. There’s a lot of people that I know, that I can’t announce that are very very exciting, just real big actual celebrities even outside of the wrestling world. If you saw who was at his birthday party, it’s kinda similar to that. I am definitely not gonna blow the whistle on who’s gonna be there but it’s gonna blow last year out of the water. I am preparing for this as hard I prepared for my comedy special, I am gonna knock it out of the park, I am gonna be a good host, I am probably not gonna be the meanest cause I know we’re gonna have some really mean comics there and it’s kinda my job to be the host and you know move the party along but I am gonna tell the truth that’s for sure {laughs}. And I am gonna talk trash, and I am gonna make sure the shows goes great. {laughs} I am gonna make sure it’s a night to remember and a night Ric Flair will definitely remember.
