Charlie Sheen Roast on Comedy Central – Are We Ready for That? Do We Care? - Video

It hasn’t even been a year since our favorite warlock Charlie Sheen melted our hearts by appearing on every media outlet known to man to vent his drugged up ego.

Now, Comedy Central has announced that Sheen will be the focus of their latest comedy roast due to air this Fall.

We’ve already seen the roasts of Donald Trump, Pamela Anderson, Hue Heffner, William Shatner, David Hasselhoff, and others – but is it too soon to roast Uncle Charley?

Normally, Comedy Central selects people who seem to have reached the “D-List” status of their careers and carry tons of public baggage and a wee bit of public disdain.

But what can be said about Sheen that hasn’t already been said?

We have a pretty good idea of how it will go down, and an even better idea how it all came about.

Remember Charlie’s “Live Torpedo of Truth – Defeat is Not an Option” tours he hosted shortly after being fired from “Two and a Half Men”?

Well, good friend and senior roaster Jeffrey Ross was on the road with Sheen and the two developed a routine where Ross roasted Sheen during every show.

Some fans said that portion of his show is what saved it from being a total train wreck.

Since Ross is a big dog at the Comedy Central roasts, it was a perfect fit to have Charlie be the next inductee.

There is also a bit of irony that seems a little bit more than coincidence. The Comedy Central Roast is scheduled to air the SAME night as the new season premiere of “Two and a Half Men” with new co-star Ashton Kutcher.

Call it a jab at “Men” producer Chuck Lorre, or just good marketing, but all eyes will be on the ratings to see who wins the time-slot.

Sheen does however make a perfect roast participant, and we’re sure it will be one of the better shows depending who is on the stage with him.

We’re ready for it, so as Charlie himself would say – “Bring it Comedy Central”

Stephen Colbert to Sail Into the Bermuda Triangle Today

Stephen Colbert is at it again.

He won’t take defeat lying down.

What is he up to now?

He’s sailing into the Bermuda Triangle.

Colbert, who says he’s an avid sailor, but not really, is once again racing in a sailing regatta from Charleston South Carolina to Bermuda today.

He has even been named honorary Captain of the 65 foot sailing ship, and plans to guide her the entire 1,000 miles into the Bermuda Triangle.

But this is not the first time Colbert has made this journey.

In 2005 he tried and failed, his team came in last place – four days behind the lead boat. He says everything broke down including the diesel engines, radios, sails, and even the two bathrooms.

That leads to an obvious question…..

But this time he is taking it more seriously, and has teamed with Audi and a twelve man crew to pull off this truly patriotic event.

The crew will sail the U.S.S. “Audi”, complete with a gigantic picture of Colbert on the sail, in hopes of winning this year’s event.

Stephen, who grew up in a sailing town in Charleston South Carolina, says he couldn’t sail as a child because he is missing an eardrum in one ear and it lets water in – and that’s bad he says.

Colbert will leave Charleston Harbor on May 21 and hopefully reach Bermuda in about 4 days - unless the end of the world comes first.

"There is a cult out there that believes the world is coming to an end on May 21, so that's one of the reasons I wanted to be out in the ocean. I'll have nothing above me and I'll fly straight up."

Good luck Mr. Colbert, and if we miss the rapture we’ll see you next week!

God Speed.
