From the link in the OP:
It takes nine days to bleep it?
Might take that long for post-production to make him not look like a walking corpse, on the off chance he hasn’t actually become a real-life corpse by then.
“Tonight the part of Charlie Sheen will be played by Geoff Peterson”.
And has Colbert? That might be even better, in a “how meta can you get” way.
I don’t like the whole kicking him while he’s down vibe of roasting him while he has so many untreated issues.
Not going to watch.
You know that whichever one of them they’ll roast, the other will be the MC.
I see your POV, but, after dude so repeatedly and so publicly and so arrogantly put it all out there . . . He’s just gotta take what’s coming to him. Celebrity sometimes has its unexpected, unpredictable prices, and this is one of them.
And, admit it, it is kinda hard to feel sorry even for a mentally ill person, if there’s many of us as would gladly change lives with him anyway. 
Of course, an alternative explanation might be that he had a moment of lucidity, followed by a moment of “OMG what’ve I done?!”, followed by a moment of “So how’m I gonna make a comeback without publicly apologizing to Whatshiscock and all,” followed by a shaft of light shining down and a choir of angels singing, “Roast!”
How is it kicking him when he’s down when he agreed to do the Roast?
No, but he cried, “Winning! Duh!”
[shrug] I suppose, after recent events, one might doubt his mental capacity to make a decision in his own interest. But, if nobody can keep him from webcasting his rants, why should anyone try to stop him from appearing at a roast?
Except that isn’t the tradition at these roasts things for everyone to get drunk, and isn’t that what usually makes him say his stupid things in the first place?
The problem is it’ll suck. The guys who are really good at it really only bring their “square in the balls stuff” to someone not capable of fighting back. Most of Comedy Central’s roast are a couple obvious Jabs at the guest then they just go after the rest of the Roasting panel as they can hit back. It used to be a lot more directed at the roastee, but now its a few incidental Fat, bald, slutty, dumb, drunk jokes that could fit a million people.
I don’t know how much Sheen will be paid, but I know it’s not an honorarium or scale: it’s a ton of money. In the documentary about Joan Rivers she was debating whether to be roasted or not, saying that on one hand she didn’t want to sit through two hours of facelift and age and has-been jokes but on the other it paid many times more than any other single gig she had been offered in a long time. For Donald Trump they paid $2 million to some charity, but since that would be tax deductible it’s possible they paid more than usual.
In any case, it’s probably at least in the high six figures and possibly over one- MILLLLLLION- dollars, so Sheen could well be doing this for the money. He doesn’t have it coming in by the truckload like he used to, after all, and he has a very expensive lifestyle.
Whenever I see the term “celebrity roast” I’m reminded of a bit from the National Lampoon about Alan King being roasted:
Don’t Sheen qualify?
I wonder if they’ll bring “The Situation” back. His part of the Trump roast was so painful it was good.
Who are they going to get to roast him, is what I wanna know? Who’s gonna kick a dog that’s down? Charlie is a MESS. It’s more sad than funny anymore…he does look like a walking corpse.
Before this past year’s episode, I thought he was a relatively normal spoiled Hollywood addict/abuser. Now I feel that there is something much more going on. He’s sick in the head. Like Britney. After awhile, it’s just not fun anymore.
A little OT, but I enjoyed the Friar’s Roast back when they were shown as such. Of course, most of the people roasted back then have long passed.
I loved Foster Brooks, and he completely “whooshed” me the first time he got up to speak.
Back to your thread.
Thanks
