Funnyman Jeff Ross has made a name for himself roasting the who’s who of Hollywood, so what better way for the ‘Roastmaster General’ to extend his skills than to host his own show, ‘The Burn!’

Ross, who will soon be heating up our screens during the ‘Roast of Roseanne,’ has dished to LA Weekly on what to expect from his brand new series.

“What separates the show [from nightly talk-shows] is that it's on once a week,” said Ross.

“It's not a nightly treadmill. It's a pointed mission, like a missile, as opposed to a rat-tat-tat. So we're saving ourselves for this one explosion.”

So what can viewers expect from the outspoken comedian? ‘The Burn’ picks up right where Comedy Central Roasts left off, as Ross takes to the streets to fire up politicians, pop culture and anyone else that takes his fancy!

Don’t forget to tune into Comedy Central New Zealand on Thursday September 27 @ 8.30pm to see Ross in action during ‘The Roast of Roseanne’!
