In January, [Comedy Central announced](http://www.ew.com/article/2015/01/20/justin-bieber-comedy-central-roast "undefined") Bieber would be their next target—and Bieber proved to be a good sport: “For years I have wanted Comedy Central to roast me,” [he wrote on Twitter](https://twitter.com/justinbieber/status/557560614919237633 "undefined"). “They said only if I provided them w/ more material so for a year now I have worked hard.” Work hard, he did: Bieber was arrested multiple times in 2014 for charges ranging from [vandalism](http://www.ew.com/article/2014/11/10/justin-bieber-egging "undefined") to [assault](http://www.ew.com/article/2014/09/02/justin-bieber-charges-assault "undefined"), and peaked (from a comedy standpoint, at least) [in a deposition](http://www.ew.com/article/2014/03/10/justin-bieber-deposition "undefined") that was released in March. Bieber joins a long list of celebrities who have been roasted, including James Franco, Charlie Sheen, and Donald Trump. Comedian Kevin Hart will be the evening’s roast master. _This_ [_article_](http://www.ew.com/article/2015/02/09/comedy-centrals-justin-bieber-roast-set-march-30 "undefined") _originally appeared on_ [_EW.com_](http://www.ew.com "undefined")_._ _Read next:_ [_Here’s Proof the Jokes for Comedy Central’s Justin Bieber Roast Will Write Themselves_](http://time.com/3674748/justin-bieber-comedy-central-roast-jokes/?xid=time%5Freadnext "undefined") ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3701224/comedy-central-bieber-roast/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3701224/comedy-central-bieber-roast/"},"headline":"Kevin Hart Will Be Spitmaster of Justin Bieber Roast","datePublished":"2015-02-09T17:24:44.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T04:15:59.587Z","description":"Comedy Central roasting will happen March 30","url":"https://time.com/3701224/comedy-central-bieber-roast/","keywords":["Television","celebrities","Justin Bieber","comedy central"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt7a5758e2ba523f49/69877e44428a9e0d16cc7095/460132646-copy.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Ariana Bacle / Entertainment Weekly"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt7a5758e2ba523f49/69877e44428a9e0d16cc7095/460132646-copy.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Justin Bieber attends the Grand Opening of West Coast Customs Burbank Headquarters on Dec. 7, 2014 in Burbank, Caif.","caption":"Justin Bieber attends the Grand Opening of West Coast Customs Burbank Headquarters on Dec. 7, 2014 in Burbank, Caif.","creditText":"Jerod Harris—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3701224/comedy-central-bieber-roast/","name":"Kevin Hart Will Be Spitmaster of Justin Bieber Roast"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Kevin Hart Hosts the First SNL of the New Year","description":"A day after the release of his new movie “The Wedding Ringer,” guest host Kevin Hart takes over Saturday Night Live","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/HeATeCDK/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2015-01-18T16:36:33.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/HeATeCDK.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/3701224/comedy-central-bieber-roast/","duration":"PT1M10S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/3701224/comedy-central-bieber-roast/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
