The “Comedy Central Roast of Justin Bieber” will tape in Los Angeles, though a specific date has yet to be announced. “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,” Kent Alterman, the network’s President of Content Development & Original Programming, said in a statement.
We’re guessing his recent Calvin Klein underwear ad controversy and the subsequent “SNL” parody — “my peepee’s in there” — gave the network some more incentive to skewer le petit Canadien.
