According to Tony Hinchcliffe, who was assigned by Comedy Central to write the first draft of Ann Coulter's set, Coulter was unaware of the nature of roasts when she agreed to participate . Many of the other roasters harshly targeted Coulter . She was criticised for her strong conservative political views, called a "cunt" by Davidson, compared to members of the Ku Klux Klan, and even likened to Adolf Hitler . The crowd reacted to much of Coulter's set with indifference or booing . Coulter claims that her set "killed" live and that her apparent bombing in the aired version of the roast was the result of unflattering editing . Ross refuted Coulter's claim, stating "We edited it to make her look as best we could". Her set centered around a plug for her book In Trump We Trust . </Td> </Tr> </Table> <Tr> <Th> Roastee </Th> <Th> Roast master (s) </Th> <Th> Original air date </Th> <Th> U.S. viewers (millions) </Th> </Tr>
