In 2003, a roast was held in honor of comedian Patrice O'Neal at New York City's Boston Comedy Club. Produced by Masavia Greer and Yumi Akiyama, the event was hosted by Rich Vos and featured performances by comedians such as Robert Kelly, DC Benny, Vanessa Hollingshead, Colin Quinn, Todd Barry, Jim Norton, Bill Burr, Lynne Koplitz, Ben Bailey, Keith Robinson, Greg Giraldo, and Patrice O'Neal himself.
The roast was recorded but remained unaired until 2021, when Comedy Anatomy released it in a three-part series on YouTube.
This release provided fans with a unique glimpse into the camaraderie and humor shared among these comedians during that period.
Additionally, in 2011, Patrice O'Neal participated in the Comedy Central Roast of Charlie Sheen, which aired on September 19, 2011. This appearance was his final television performance before his untimely death two months later.
