Justin Bieber Is Getting a Comedy Central Roast

Prepare for the Roast of...Justin Bieber. E! News has confirmed Comedy Central will put the Biebs in the hot seat for their next roast set to air this year. The special will be filmed in Los Angeles.

"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," Kent Alterman, president of content development & original programming at Comedy Central said in a statement.

Ryan Seacrest first reported the Roast news.

The last Comedy Central Roast was of James Franco in 2013. Other honorees over the years--it is an honor, right?--include Joan Rivers, Roseanne Barr, Charlie Sheen, Donald Trump, David Hasselhoff and Bob Saget.

Seth Rogen served as the roastmaster for Franco and the event scored 3.1 million viewers.

Fingers crossed "Saturday Night Live's" Kate McKinnon is involved. The Emmy nominee has perfected her Bieber impression over the years, most recently lampooning his Calvin Klein ads during Saturday's episode. Check it out, above.

Bieber responded to the popular sketch on Twitter with a simple tweet: "@nbcsnl well played. Lol," he wrote.

Roasters and the roastmaster will be announced at a later date.
