  • Here’s the Lineup for Comedy Central’s Justin Bieber Roast

    2014 Young Hollywood Awards Brought To You By Samsung Galaxy - ShowComedy Central revealed Thursday the full lineup for its roast of Justin Bieber, and among the usual suspects were a few surprising names.

    Leading the head-scratchers is lifestyle maven Martha Stewart, who’s set to throw down insults among more seasoned comedy veterans including Comedy Central roast staples Jeffrey Ross and Natasha Leggero. Musicians Snoop Dogg and Ludacris have also made the cut, as did former NBA star Shaquille O’Neal.

    Comedians Chris D’Elia and Hannibal Buress round out the roster. The previously-announced Kevin Hart is set to host, with Comedy Central reminding fans on Twitter that the roastmaster has encouraged roasters to “go hard” in their torching of Bieber.

    “The Comedy Central Roast of Justin Bieber” is slated to air on March 30.

  • Justin Bieber Gets Egged in Promo for Comedy Central Roast (VIDEO)

    Justin Bieber, comedy central roastJustin Bieber is getting a taste of his own medicine in the first promo for his upcoming roast on Comedy Central.

    The clip features Bieber primping in front of the camera, then raising his arms as an onslaught of eggs are launched at him. It’s a callback to the singer’s arrest for egging his neighbor’s home back in 2014, and as Comedy Central noted on its Facebook page, was a chance for Bieber to “learn how poor, defenseless houses feel.”

    We can only imagine that whatever staffer was tasked with egging the Biebs had a grand old time. Check out the clip below, and get pumped for the special.

    72nd Annual Golden Globe Awards - Press Room
    Justin Bieber wanted to get roasted, and now he knows just who will lead the insult assault.

    Comedy Central revealed on Twitter on Monday that comedian Kevin Hart would serve as roast master for the event, which is now slated to air on the network on March 30. Bieber was announced as Comedy Central’s latest roast target back in January.


    “Justin has been asking us for a few years to roast him, and we just kept telling him to go create more source material first,” said Kent Alterman, president of Comedy Central’s content development and original programming, in a statement in January. “We’re thrilled he listened.”

    Bieber joins a list of other notorious celebs to get the roast treatment from the network, including Donald Trump and Charlie Sheen. The last person to be featured on the recurring special was James Franco in 2013.
