Former OU star Blake Griffin shows no mercy in his debut as a comedy roaster

LOS ANGELES — Blake Griffin adjusted the bow tie and collars of his tuxedo as he settled into his place on a velvet couch between comedians Jeff Ross and Nikki Glaser on stage at the Saban Theatre in Beverly Hills on Saturday night.

The NBA star — along with an eclectic group that included Academy Award winner Robert De Niro, Caitlyn Jenner and Ken Jeong from “The Hangover” — was on the dais for “The Comedy Central Roast of Alec Baldwin,” which airs on Sunday. Griffin had never met Baldwin before, but that’s not a prerequisite for being a roaster.
