The comedians assembled for the "Comedy Central Roast of Justin Bieber" will have little trouble finding material for jokes and insults to throw at the pop singer next month. Comedy Central already got the ball rolling in its first promo.
In the 30-second teaser, Bieber stands shirtless, spreads his arms and readies himself to be pelted with a dozen raw eggs. The yellow yolks splatter in slow motion across his tattooed body as Carmina Burana plays.
Bieber found himself in a similar situation last year when he threw eggs at his neighbor's home causing $89,000 in damages. He pled no contest to the vandalism charge in July, which earned him two years of probation as well as 12 weekly anger management sessions and five days of community service.
The "All The Matters" singer does get payback in the video clip, nailing the camera with an egg and splattering yolk across the screen.
Bieber asked Comedy Central multiple times to host him as the next "Roast" victim, and the network finally granted his wish for his 21st birthday (on March 1). The "Comedy Central Roast of Justin Bieber" will tape at Sony Studios in Los Angeles on March 16 and air on March 30.
"Justin has been asking us for a few years to roast him, and we just kept telling him to go create more source material first. We're thrilled he listened," Ken Alterman, President of Content Development & Original Programming for Comedy Central, said in a statement.
The 20-year-old singer amassed quite a rap sheet over the last year. In addition to the egging incident, he hot-boxed an entire private jet and saw the inside of a court room a few times, usually to discuss his on-again, off-again relationship with Selena Gomez
Kevin Hart will serve as Roast Master for the event. Jeff Ross and Hannibal Burress have signed on to trade barbs with the pint-size sensation. Ross has warned nothing will be off-limits during the roast.
