Comedy Central’s The Roast of James Franco finally aired last night and we were happy to see the dais as friends, especially when it came to Bill Hader playing the President of Hollywood or Nick Kroll pondering who Evan Goldberg, Seth Rogen’s writing partner, exactly is.
Watch these clips and more of the James and the rest of the dais at Comedy Central’s YouTube channel.
Comedy Central’s Roast of James Franco Airs Tonight on TV and Online
The time has finally come for Comedy Central’s latest roast of James Franco, which many wonder will be the moment where these roasts take on the more traditional spirit of roasts by honoring the person being roasted. Having seen some many of the jokes being worked out around LA, we have faith that this might just be the case. A good tell tale sign of that is that if you see all the members of the dais, at the end of their sets, don’t say, “Thanks for being a good sport,” like they did for Donald Trump.
The Roast of James Franco is on Comedy Central (as well online at ComedyCentral.com) tonight at 10PM.
Aziz Ansari & Andy Samberg Added to Comedy Central Roast of James Franco
With this news, we’re continuing to actually look forward to this latest roast at Comedy Central.
We actually got to see Aziz run some of his roast jokes over the past few nights and we have to say that it’s going to be a really nice addition to the dais.
Dais for Comedy Central’s Roast of James Franco Has Jeff Ross, Nick Kroll, Sarah Silverman, and More
Well, so far, there are no “stunt celebrities” on the dais for Comedy Central’s latest roast that are just there for the simple spectacle without any real comedy chops. Bill Hader, Jonah Hill, Nick Kroll, Natasha Leggero, Jeff Ross, and Sarah Silverman are pretty solid.
That’s great to see, for now, but we are surprised that Jay Baruchel and Danny McBride aren’t in this announcement as This Is The End must have been just a warm up for this.
Comedy Central Set to Roast James Franco Instead of Someone They Kind of Despise
It’s nice to see Comedy Central finally have someone that isn’t the butt of some type of joke cracked every few minutes somewhere in the world to be the target for one of their roasts.
Possibly, they might be, in the traditional comedy roast sense, honoring James Franco, though we’re sure this will be like a run through of Franco jokes if there ever was a This Is The End sequel.
