Comedy Central to Roast Charlie Sheen

Prepare yourself for another barrage of tiger blood and winning jokes --

Comedy Central announced this morning that its newest roast target is none other than the bitchin' rock star from Mars himself, Charlie Sheen.





The "Comedy Central Roast of Charlie Sheen" will tape in Los Angeles on Sat., Sept. 10, and will air on Comedy Central on Mon., Sept. 19 at 10PM ET, the network confirmed.

That means Sheen will return to TV the same night as "Two and a Half Men" premieres its first episode with Ashton Kutcher, although the sitcom airs at 9PM on CBS and won't be direct competition.

"You could say I've been providing kindling for this Roast for a while," Sheen said in a statement. "It's time to light it up. It's going to be epic."





The idea isn't entirely out of left field, considering that Roastmaster General Jeffrey Ross hopped onstage to burn Sheen during his Violent Torpedo of Truth Tour earlier this year, saving audiences on the latter part of the cross-country tour from Sheen's rambling, unfocused stories.
