Following in the footsteps of Larry the Cable Guy, William Shatner, and Pamela Anderson, Comedy Central is about to roast comedic icon Joan Rivers. And since they are already two peas in a pod, the Roast Master will be none other than Kathy Griffin. This should be rich! Kathy Griffin released this statement.

“It will be my distinct pleasure to honor a true comedy legend. The One and Only, The Great, Joan Rivers,” said Kathy Griffin. “I mean, not that Pam Anderson wasn’t a comedy legend or anything… Let’s just say it will be an evening of highs and lows. I will be roasting Joan with more gentleness and tenderness than her latest chemical peel and, on the other hand, I will give her a verbal pap smear and god only knows what I’m going to find down there.”

The “Comedy Central Roast Of Joan Rivers.” will be taped on July 26 in Los Angeles at the CBS studios, and aired August 9 at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT.
