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.

As part of a remote segment for Conan, the hysterical Tig Notaro went to local businesses around LA to get her headshot on the wall. The businesses were surprisingly not opposed to the idea, but Tig wasn’t just going to give them any headshot. Also, she calls Sarah Silverman to verify her headshot being on a wall of furniture store, which is pretty great.

This was the moment Eric Appel looked at his phone and realized Osama Bin Laden was dead last night. Sarah Silverman was just about to go on in front of an audience who had not been exposed to the media yet because they were in a marathon comedy show. It took them a while to realize it wasn’t a bit.
