Pop music kings. Vanguards of rap. Captains of the USS Enterprise. And yeah, even the sitting U.S. president. At this point, nobody is safe from the painful barbs spat out by Roast Masters at Comedy Central Roasts.
This year, one of Hollywood’s most celebrated talents (and occasional cranks) is going to be taken down a few pegs in The Comedy Central Roast of Alec Baldwin. Not only has Baldwin beat out a brood of brothers in his rise to silver screen fame, but he’s one of the few in show business who also sports serious comedy chops. After all, he’s hosted Saturday Night Live 17 times and even won two comedy Emmys for his stint on 30 Rock. Will he come out unscathed or have a classic Baldwin public freakout? You’ll have to tune in to find out.
