Ben Stiller Roast At The Museum Of Moving Image

 

Ben Stiller was stuck in the middle of a roast fest on Wednesday night at the 24th Annual Museum of the Moving Image Salute to Ben Stiller held at Cipriani 42nd Street in New York.

His Meet the Parents co-star Robert DeNiro joked that Ben is lacking in the manhood department.   Referring to the scene in the movie where Stiller exposed himself when he slipped into a pair of Speedos DeNiro joked:

“You expect him to be flabby and pale. But he’s actually totally buff. But he overcomes this contradiction by having a really tiny… And in that suit, it’s apparent to everyone.”

Note: The two men have both signed on for another “Meet the Parents” spinoff, due to be called either “The Little Fockers” or “The God-Focker.” 

But DeNiro wasn’t the only one putting Stiller up on the rotisserie, Sean Combs told the Cipriani crowd:

 “I put Ben in my video for ‘Bad Boy for Life.’ I thought he’d return the favor. But I guess I wasn’t black enough to be in ‘Tropic Thunder.’ Robert Downey Jr. was a little blacker. But that’s fine. I’m trying not to let my animosity affect my introduction.”

Jack Black held Stiller responsible for making him run around town looking for a tux:

“The lady at Bergdorf’s measured my neck and said ‘18.5 inches? That is too big, sir.’ So I walked three blocks to the big-and-tall store, where they welcomed me with beefy, open arms.”

Judd Apatow sent a video in which he remembered how Ben hired him, at 24 years old, as executive producer on “The Ben Stiller Show.” At the time, said Apatow:

 “I was writing jokes for Tom Arnold. Apparently that was good enough for Ben!”

Adam Sandler chimed in on the video:

“This feels really kiss-a-y. You’re your own guy now, Judd. You don’t need to b– Stiller for the rest of your life.”

And Mike Myers added:

“Ben is really good-looking and, because of my arrogance, I assumed he wasn’t funny.”
