While Thanksgiving can be a relaxing day to share with your family and friends and eat more than you’d care to admit, it can also be pretty stressful at times. If you’re not into watching football or holiday movies and need a laugh, the Dean Martin Thanksgiving Roast may be just what you need on Turkey Day.

This year, Catchy Comedy is sharing back-to-back episodes of The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast on Thanksgiving Day through Black Friday. If you need to get up early to pop your turkey in the oven, you can start this playful kind of roast by turning on the TV. The marathon begins on Thursday, November 28 at 6am ET and continues for 24 hours until Friday, November 29 at 6am ET.

The celebrity roasts began as a segment on The Dean Martin Show, airing from 1965 to 1974. After becoming very popular, they extended to stand-alone specials. We still see these pop up from time to time, making fun of the biggest celebrities of our time.

Many of the roasts were filmed at the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, featuring big-name celebrities including Bob Hope, Betty White, Lucille Ball and many, many more. Get the full schedule below:
