Comedy Central has hit the jackpot with the announcement that Charlie Sheen will be the guest of honor at their next celebrity roast. In previous years, Comedy Central has roasted Pamela Anderson, David Hasselhoff, Joan Rivers and others. But this Fall, they’ll be roasting the very trainwrecky Charlie Sheen … and get this … the show will air on the same night that Ashton Kutcher will make his debut as Sheen‘s replacement on Two and a Half Men! Um, that’s kind of brilliant.
Charlie Sheen is coming back to TV. The actor will be roasted by Comedy Central on Sept. 10 in Los Angeles. It will air on the network on Sept. 19 — the same night Ashton Kutcher makes his debut as Sheen’s replacement on CBS and Warner Bros.’ Two and a Half Men — at 10 p.m. ET. “You could say I’ve been providing kindling for this roast for a while,” says Sheen in a statement. “It’s time to light it up. It’s going to be epic.” Sheen has slammed Kutcher as his replacement and said that Men will tank without him, saying, “Kutcher is a sweetheart and a brilliant comedic performer … Oh wait, so am I!! Enjoy the show America. Enjoy seeing a 2.0 in the demo every Monday, WB…Enjoy planet Chuck [Lorre], Ashton. There is no air, laughter, loyalty, or love there.” The roast will be executive produced by Joel Gallen from Tenth Planet Productions, who was also EP and director of the Donald Trump, David Hasselhoff, Joan Rivers and Pamela Anderson roasts.
This will be a BOON for Comedy Central, no question. It’ll also provide an opportunity for Sheen to stick it to CBS for ousting and replacing him by allowing him to steal some of Two and a Half Men‘s thunder. You will note that we haven’t been hearing from or about Charlie Sheen for a while now … which, IMHO, is intentional. If he seriously wants to have a TV career again, he is wisely keeping his insanity out of the public eye. My guess is that this roast will be treated as a tribute to “good ol’ Charlie” in an orchestrated attempt to repair his image. Yes, the roast will be raunchy … but it’ll be funny, too. Not Charlie Sheen seriously crazy funny but Let’s make fun of good ol’ Charlie and forget all of his problems funny. Brilliant move. Will any of y’all be tuning in to watch?
