Things are heating up for the ‘Roast of Roseanne,’ as Comedy Central has just announced which celebs and comedians will take to the podium to serve up the laughs this weekend!

Legendary performer and ‘Star Wars’ Princess Leia, Carrie Fisher, will be ripping Roseanne a new one alongside Academy Award-nominated and Golden Globe Award-winning actress Sharon Stone, television and animation star Seth Green and Golden Globe-winning actress Katey Sagal.

Comedians and Roast regulars Anthony Jeselnik, Jeffrey Ross and Amy Schumer will also be getting in on the action. They join previously-announced Roastmaster, ‘Glee’ star Jane Lynch for what’s set to be a jibe-filled night of laughter and mayhem.

“All I can say is good luck finding anything about me to make fun of” Barr joked in a press release earlier this month.

“I mean, I've never made a mistake or offended anyone in my life!”

Stay tuned - the ‘Comedy Central Roast Of Roseanne’ will be coming to Comedy Central New Zealand this September!
