NEW YORK — He's Friared. For more than two hours, billionaire mogul and television star Donald Trump suffered the verbal slings and arrows of nearly 75 comics, celebrities and friends at the annual Friars Club roast.

"The reason Trump puts his name on all his buildings is so that the banks know which ones to take back," cracked comedian Rich Vos of NBC's talent contest "Last Comic Standing."

Susie Essman, of HBO's "Curb Your Enthusiasm," jabbed at Trump and his fiancee, Melania Knauss.

"You know what she sees in you?" she told Trump. "A billion dollars and high cholesterol."

Freddie Roman, dean of the club that was founded 100 years ago, said Friday's event was one of the best attended since the roasts began in 1949.

"We only roast the ones we love," Roman said.
