    You should have your ass kicked for even having to ask.

    And isn't it pretty stupid to run this roast at the same time as Two and a Half Men? Doesn't that come on at 9 p.m., well before Comedy Central can air the uncensored version of the roast? Most people, I'm assuming, will watch or DVR the re-run that comes on around midnight or so. Who wants to watch a censored version of that? Not me.

    Oh yeah there is... I don't know if there has ever been an incident where such a big star had such a public meltdown. This isn't Lindsay Lohan, a year ago, Sheen was the biggest TV star working and now he's a punchline. There will always be interest in him.

    That's sad.
    People get bored with an ongoing story with actual news value within 48 hours, but they'll maintain interest in a B level star because he had a run in a hit sit-com.
    It's sad.

    It sure would be ducky if they could get Jon Cryer for this, but I'm sure that the production company would never allow that.

    I betcha there will be a ton of Bruce Willis jokes, as in being replaced by Ashton Kutcher.

    They could also hit Emilio with that one, too, given Demi and he were once engaged.

    I can already see someone saying a joke comparing Greg Giraldo to Charlie Sheen...

    The roast will be worthless if Lisa Lampanelli isn't there ...

    And of course there's the first Bruce Willis/Ashton Kutcher joke.

    I have a feeling Lampanelli will make herself available.

    We've already had one item cut that appeared on the MTV preview: Steve-O's crack about the Station fire.
    “The last time this many nobodies got roasted, at least the band Great White was playing.”
    The father of one of the victims made some noise about it, and yesterday Steve apologized and requested that that joke be cut from the show.
