Justin Bieber Will be Subject of Comedy Central Roast

Los Angeles: Comedy Central says Justin Bieber will be the victim of its next roast.

The channel said on January 20 that the pop star will face the music at a taping in Los Angeles on a still-unannounced air date.

In a posting on his Twitter account, Justin said he's long wanted to be roasted but was told by Comedy Central that he needed to provide more material - and he's worked hard to do that, he said.

For years I have wanted Comedy Central to roast me. They said only if I provided them w/ more material so for a year now I have worked hard

Among events that appear ripe for mockery: the egging of a neighbor's house and the monkey he left in Germany.

Last weekend, Saturday Night Live took on his new Calvin Klein ad, with SNL cast member Kate McKinnon strutting as the underwear-clad, tattooed Justin.

James Franco was the subject of the last Comedy Central roast.
