Comedy Central is about to show America that daddy doesn't know best when it roasts comedian Bob Saget. Roast master John Stamos headlines a very family-unfriendly event during this star-studded evening. The Comedy Central Roast of Bob Saget will tape in Los Angeles and air on Sunday, August 17.

Guests confirmed to roast include Greg Giraldo, Jeffrey Ross, Norm Macdonald, Jon Lovitz, Gilbert Gottfried, Jim Norton and Susie Essman. "It's an honor . . . My ass is already sore," stated Saget.

"Bob Saget is one of the true nice guys. I've apologized to him in advance for what this evening holds in store for him," said Elizabeth Porter, senior vice president, specials and talent for Comedy Central.

For some, Bob Saget is known world-wide for his television roles, having set a precedent by simultaneously starring in two top-ten primetime series -- the long-running sitcom Full House and eight-year host of America's Funniest Home Videos. For others, Bob is known by a more adult audience because of his edgier stand-up comedy, theater, television and film work.

In 2007, Saget kicked off a national theater tour that continues through 2008 and starred in the one-hour HBO special, That Ain't Right, which is available on DVD. Over the past year, Saget starred on Broadway in the Tony Award winning play, The Drowsy Chaperone, hosted the NBC game show 1 vs. 100 and continues to narrate the CBS show, How I Met Your Mother. He directed the hit DVD release Farce of the Penguins, the film Dirty Work and the telefilm For Hope.
