The Comedy Central Roast is fast approaching and who better to honor this year than David Hasselhoff?  Filming in LA this Sunday, and airing August 15th, this is one Roast you won’t want to miss…and Seth MacFarlane is the Roast Master!

“I’m honored that Comedu Central is going to get ‘Hoff’ on me,” said David Hasselhoff. “I have always been a major fan of Roasts, dating back to the days of the ‘Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts.’ Laughter is the best medicine. Bring it on! I’m ready to take the heat.”

Emmy-nominated “Family Guy” creator, animator, actor, director and singer Seth MacFarlane will serve as Roast Masters and he heads up an all-star lineup of Roasters who reign paramount in their respective arenas, including the world’s most bonafide sex symbol, bone crushing wrestler, controversial talk show host and ruthless comedic masterminds.

This year’s Roasters include Pamela Anderson, Whitney Cummings, Greg Giraldo, George Hamilton, Hulk Hogan, Lisa Lampanelli, Jeffrey Ross and Jerry Springer. Additional Roasters and talent will be in attendance.
