Comedy Central announced through their twitter that comedian Kevin Hart will be the host of Justin Bieber’s roast.
In January Bieber stated via twitter that he has long since wanted to be the subject of a comedy central roast but needed to “provide them with more material”.
From the perspective earning a roast Bieber has clearly been hard at work. From arrests for vandalism to strangely comedic court depositions it seems as if there will be plenty of material for comedians appearing on the special to work with.
Previous roast honorees have included James Franco, Charlie Sheen, and Donald Trump with popular comedians such as Sarah Silverman, Jeff Ross, and Lisa Lampanelli all appearing as guest roasters. The likes of Seth Rogen, Katt Williams, and Seth MacFarlane have all hosted in the past but this will be Kevin Hart’s first appearance on the comedy special.
Justin Bieber’s Roast hosted by Kevin Hart will air Monday March 30th on Comedy Central.
