His FOX sitcom The Grinder may be no more, but Rob Lowe has moved on to his next comedic role — taking abuse at the hands of roasters during Comedy Central’s annual favorite event, The Comedy Central Roast.

“Rob Lowe is handsome, talented, successful and handsome. He needs to be roasted,” said Kent Alterman, President, Comedy Central, in a release.
