The second undercard fight sees seasoned comedians Creator/RodneyDangerfield and Creator/DonRickles take part in a literal comedy roast. The main event of the night features a fatal three-way in the name of charity, between comedians Creator/BillyCrystal, Creator/WhoopiGoldberg and Creator/RobinWilliams.
!!This episode contains examples of:
* BerserkButton: Nick does not take kindly to being directly insulted, even if it's by a comedian that specializes in dishing insults.
* BystanderSyndrome: Goldberg refuses to participate in the fight until viewers start calling and donating money. She's eventually forced to fight when Williams dispatches Crystal.
* Call-Back: After raising $2 million at the end of the main event, Johnny gives the cheque to Creator/AdamSandler's liver...the same liver that he was thrown by in his fight against Creator/ChrisRock in the previous season.

* ComedicSpanking: Williams manages to place Crystal over his knee and spank him until he wears a hole in Crystal's pants.
* DineAndDash: The reason why Dangerfield and Rickles are fighting is because Rickles skipped out on paying his share of the bill when the two had lunch together.
* DudeWheresMyRespect: True to his nature, Dangerfield brings up the lack of respect he gets on a few occasions during the fight.
* EarAche: Williams manages to rip off both of Crystal's ears with his bear hands.
* EdibleAmmunition: After Piscopo bombs his open-mic set, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin shoots him with a cannon that shoots nothing but fruit.
* ExplosivePunch: Dangerfield manages to defeat Rickles with one of these, sending pieces of his opponent all over the grill built into the ring.
* ExtendoBoxingGlove: Carrot Top gets in a few good hits on Miller using a cuckoo clock that's been fitted with a boxing glove.
* EyePop: Rickles chokes Dangerfield by tightening his tie, to the point where his eyes bulge out.
* GroinAttack:
** Rickles uses a pair of oversized tongs to pick up a piece of red-hot charcoal and shove them down Dangerfield's pants.
** Williams is subject to this by BOTH of his opponents - Crystal hits him with his cane, and Goldberg just straight-up kicks him.
* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: Goldberg ends up winning the fight by placing Williams in a headlock, before tearing him in half with her foot.
* HeadCrushing: While not fatal, Carrot Top repeatedly crushes Miller's head between two giant wooden clubs.
