I can't wait to see this.
Roseanne gets the roast treatment, with all her former castmates, and hosted by Jane Lynch of Glee. And in a f---ed up twist, they bring out her ex-hubby Tom Arnold!!! Comedy Central will air it on Aug 12th in the US. I'll be watching!

When Comedy Central announced that Roseanne would be the target of honor for this year's celebrity roast, her ex-husband Tom Arnold said that he wanted no part of it, and would not participate even if asked. The couple were a tabloid favorite during their stormy four-year marriage, engaging in outrageous stunts and a war against TV critics. But they divorced in 1994 amid charges of abuse and affairs. Roseanne later cited the negativity surrounding Arnold for damaging her career for several years following the end of her groundbreaking sitcom "Roseanne" in 1997. So it was not surprising when the packed audience at the Hollywood Palladium for Saturday's taping of Comedy Central's "Roast of Roseanne" collectively gasped when roastmaster Jane Lynch announced a "last-minute" guest, and Arnold appeared on stage. Roseanne's jaw dropped. "We have not been in the same room for 18 years," Arnold said to his seemingly stunned former spouse before proceeding to make raw, expletive-filled jokes about their marriage, sex life and Roseanne's famously fiery temper. The comedian, who has battled addiction, called their life together "a white-trash Camelot." At one point, he said, "Is this really the best place to do this?" He then told of how Roseanne had wowed "Tonight Show" host Johnny Carson on her first appearance as a stand-up comic in 1985, instantly launching her meteoric career. He then said, "Roseanne, you were my Johnny Carson," thanking her "from the bottom of my heart" for starting his career.

Roseanne is my favourite sit-com of all time.
