When little kids roast each other… you have to watch this!

It’s always hilarious watching celebs get roasted by Jeff Ross, but this time he’s just managing the roast of little kids.

Where is the ‘The Grape Lady’ now???

The Grape Lady made history on Youtube, in January of 2006, and it became one of the most famous falls of all time on the internet. She was doing a local news story about grape stomping for a station in Atlanta, Georgia. She tried to stop the grape stomping race that she started, then fell so hard that millions of people will remember it forever. Where is she now? Brian, Ali and Justin know…

The crowd seemed to love it, so that’s all the matters… in the end.
