Justin Bieber to be “roastee” in next Comedy Central roast

As if he hasn’t been mocked enough lately following his new Calvin Klein underwear ads (most notably spoofed last week by Saturday Night Live), pop star Justin Bieber will be the “roastee” in the next Comedy Central Roast, the network announced today.

“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. We’re thrilled he listened,” said Kent Alterman, President, Content Development & Original Programming, Comedy Central.

UPDATE 3/5/15: Comedy Central confirmed the “roasters” at the event: celebrities Snoop Dogg, Ludacris, Shaquille O’Neal and Martha Stewart, and comedians Hannibal Buress, Chris D’Elia, Natasha Leggero and Jeffrey Ross.
