Ohhhh, this is going to be good! Justin Bieber has agreed to be skewered in an upcoming Comedy Central Roast — although it actually sounds like the network was the party holding out.
“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,” Comedy Central President Kent Alterman said in a press release. “We’re thrilled he listened.”
Justin reiterated that in a few tweets about the Roast…
For years I have wanted Comedy Central to roast me. They said only if I provided them w/ more material so for a year now I have worked hard

The “#BieberRoast” will be taped in Los Angles and will reportedly premiere on March 7. He will be 20 when the special is filmed, making him the youngest official roastee ever. There’s no word on who will serve as Justin’s roastmaster. It will also be interesting to hear if Justin makes any topics off-limits, as roastees are usually allowed to do. To his credit, Justin’s proven he’s a good sport when it comes to jokes about him: Following SNL’s spoof of his Calvin Klein ads, Justin tweeted it was “well played.”
