Cloris Leachman Steals the Show

Eighty-two-year-old firecracker Cloris Leachman exposed her quick wit during an appearance on Comedy Central's "The Roast of Bob Saget." The "Young Frankenstein" and "Mary Tyler Moore Show" legend stole the show when she opened her comments by saying, "I am not here to roast Bob Saget. I'm here to f- John Stamos."

View her risque remarks

Leachman's award-winning career started in the late 1940s. She studied at the Actor's Studio under the famed Elia Kazan. But she is best remembered for her role of nosy landlady Phyllis Lindstrom on the "Mary Tyler Moore Show," and as Frau Blucher in the original Mel Brooks movie, "Young Frankenstein."

The eight-time Emmy Award winner brought down the house with naughty references to handsome John Stamos as well as her late friend Jack Benny.

    My sister told me about Chloris Leachman, I was cracking up . I remember how funny she was as Phyllis on the Mary Tyler Moore Show.

    I hope they decide to air Bob Saget's Roast again.
