(I watched it again last night and again laughed loud enough to scare the dogs and sleeping fiancee).

I ran into a woman last night @ http://fivebucks727.com/ who said when she was in college @ http://www.bethanywv.edu/ ~1995, Stanhope was brought into her school by a friend's sorority. He was asked to sit in on this roast early in the day where they detailed the sexual histories of each of the sorority sisters. Stanhope got up on stage that night and proceeded to unveil all this information about the sorority sisters to the rest of the students. Apparently he opened with the line, "My name is Doug Stanhope, and have I got some gossip for you!" I'm a comedian too, and I think Stanhope is in a class of his own re: social satire.
