Comedy Central is about to show America that daddy doesn't know best when it roasts comedian Bob Saget. Saget will quickly learn that this is no family-friendly event and will be begging for a time-out during this star-studded evening. The "Comedy Central Roast of Bob Saget" will air this Sunday, August 17th at 10 p.m., with John Stamos as Roast Master. Roasters include Greg Giraldo, Brian Posehn, Jeffrey Ross, Norm Macdonald, Jon Lovitz, Gilbert Gottfried, Cloris Leachman, Jim Norton and Susie Essman.

For some, Bob Saget is known world-wide for his television roles, having set a precedent by simultaneously starring in two top-ten primetime series — the long-running sitcom Full House while also serving as the eight-year host of America's Funniest Home Videos. For others, Bob is known by a more "adult" audience because of his edgier stand-up comedy, theater, television and film work.

In 2007, Saget kicked off a national theater tour that continues through 2008 and starred in the one-hour HBO special, "That Ain't Right," which is available on DVD. Over the past year, Saget starred on Broadway in the Tony Award winning play, "The Drowsy Chaperone," hosted the NBC game show "1 vs. 100" and continues to narrate the CBS show, How I Met Your Mother. He directed the hit DVD release, Farce of the Penguins, the film, Dirty Work and the telefilm, For Hope.
