Ross is also the current New York Friars' Club "Roastmaster General", and was a roaster for both Pamela Anderson in 2005 and Bob Saget in 2008.

One of Ross' most famous put-downs came during a 1999 roast of Stiller, in which he said of Sandra Bernhard, "I wouldn't fuck her with Bea Arthur's dick." (During the Anderson roast, he amended the joke to "I wouldn't fuck Bea Arthur's dick with Andy Dick's pussy." He also said at the same roast, "How is it possible that Courtney Love looks worse than Kurt Cobain?") He was the roastmaster when Dana Jacobson said "Fuck Touchdown Jesus."
