Roast of James Franco? Did you know about this?

So this completely flew under my radar but on Labor Day comedy central will be airing the roast of James Franco. It is still unknown who will be on the roasting dayus but likely candidates include Judd Apatow, Danny McBride, Seth Rogan and pretty much anyone from the cast of This Is The End. Anyone who watches the roasts knows that most of the fun comes from roasting the people on the dayus and because James Franco has so many goofy friends, it should be an entertaining show to say the least. It’s possible that Dave Franco could be roasting his brother as well which could be a lot of fun.

As a big fan of the comedy central roasts, this one has me particularly excited because James Franco is the first roastee who isn’t over the age of 40. The last four roasts were with David Hasselhoff, Donald Trump, Charlie Sheen, and Roseanne Barr. Despite his age though, he still has a wealth of material that can be used against him. His hosting disaster with the Oscars, the fact that he’s a very educated person amongst a pool of high school drop-outs, his constantly stoned appearance and much more. The previous few roasts have been lackluster but I predict that this will be one of the better ones Comedy Central has aired because specifically because of the people who will be roasting Franco. People will be drunk, people will be high and there’s going to be a lot of laughs. I can’t wait!

The video above is one of my favorite roasts of all time. It’s Norm MacDonald at the roast of Bob Saget.
