Comedy Central's roast of Rob Lowe, which was taped last month, finally aired on Monday night. The world got to see what Hollywood insiders have known for a few weeks now—that the best shots of the night were not at the guest of honor, but instead at conservative commentator Ann Coulter.

Guest after guest took shots at the author of In Trump We Trust. A not-at-all-complete list was provided by Entertainment Weekly.

Many viewers noticed that Coulter looked, to put it mildly, ill at ease during the proceedings.

Watching Ann Coulter trying to tell jokes on Rob Lowe's Comedy Central roast was one of the most awkward television moments I've ever seen

And lest you think the shots of her looking miserable are TV magic or liberal media bias, one reporter who was there at the taping confirms that she really wasn't having a good time.

Those aren't random, unfair cuts to Ann Coulter not laughing between jokes. She really didn't smile much at the taping. #LoweRoast
