Pick of the Week: "Comedy Central Roast"

For this week, I thought I would go a little outside the box. It would be easy for me to pick the season finales of “So You Think You Can Dance” or “America’s Got Talent,” but neither of those shows are circled on my calendar and this one is.

I’ll let you decide for yourself what that means about me…

This week’s Pick of the Week is “The Comedy Central Roast of William Shatner.”

Shatner has revitalized his career by making fun of himself, so how much fun will it be for other people to make fun of him? And look at all the material! His “singing,” “Star Trek,” “Priceline.com,” his ego, the list goes on and on.

The only name I’ve heard officially as a roaster is Betty White (Bea Arthur stole the Pamela Anderson roast last year.), but I’m sure we’ll see Leonard Nimoy and I hope James Spader or Candice Bergen. Jason Alexander is the host.

“The Comedy Central Roast of William Shatner” airs Sunday, August 20th at 10 p.m. Please note that this program is rated TV-MA (for mature audiences only).
