Charlie Sheen will be roasted on Comedy Central on September 19 at 10 p.m. ET/PT, the network announced Tuesday.
That’s the same evening that “Two and a Half Men” premieres its first episode starring Ashton Kutcher, Sheen’s replacement.
The “Comedy Central Roast of Charlie Sheen” will tape Saturday, September 10, in Los Angeles.
“You could say I’ve been providing kindling for this roast for a while,” said Sheen. “It’s time to light it up. It’s going to be epic.”
Sheen’s ex, Brooke Mueller, wants to make sure the focus stays squarely on Charlie. Mueller is warning Sheen and comedians alike that if her name even comes up, she’s prepared to sue.
Although it may sound like the ultimate ‘don’t make fun of me!’ playground plea, we get why Mueller may be pulling out all the stops to make sure she’s not the butt of any jokes as Sheen’s world of wizards and women is put in the spotlight on September 10.
Mueller insists that her name be “completely off-limits” during the LA roast and although the request seems a bit far flung, she may have some clout. In her divorce settlement with Sheen, the father of her two young twin boys, Bob and Max, agreed to never publicly talk about Mueller or her drug use.
“He better not go there,” Brooke’s reps said.
But if he does (which wouldn’t be the first time) Mueller is prepared to send a letter to Comedy Central, demanding that they not broadcast any Mueller targeted jokes. But according to the network, they’re not worried about other comedians taking jabs at Sheen’s ex-wife, they’re more concerned about Chalie Sheen, himself.
“Charlie has assured us that nothing will be off limits in this Roast which scares even us.”
