It has been a while since we have come across the most savagery yet hilarious roasts of celebrities, right? After the likes of Justin Bieber, Donald Trump, David Hasselhoff, and James Franco, yet another celebrity is set to have its own roast. And that is none other than actor Alec Baldwin.

Alec has been in the industry for several years and recently became all the more popular for his stint on Saturday Night Live! for his portrayal of Donald Trump. So, while there have already been several names popping up as to who will be on the panel for the roast, all the names have now been confirmed.

According to a report in The Hollywood Reporter, Ken Jeong, Nikki Glaser, Caroline Rhea, and Adam Carolla would be among those letting the iconic film and TV actor have it for what has become an annual event for the network. 

Roasters already announced include (Saturday Night Live pal) Robert De Niro, Blake Griffin, Caitlyn Jenner, Chris Redd and, of course, Jeff Ross.

Sean Hayes will serve as Roast Master.

Baldwin previously told The Hollywood Reporter the decision to be verbally slapped around was made to help out a dear friend.

"The people at Comedy Central very kindly agreed to match me $500,000 for Tony Bennett’s Exploring the Arts Foundation, which funds his Frank Sinatra School of the Arts High School," Baldwin told THR. "When this opportunity came to come up with a million bucks for them with Comedy Central, that was really the real impetus behind this. I think it’s a question if I am even going to be alive when it’s over."

The Baldwin Roast will tape Saturday night at the Saban Theatre in Los Angeles and will air Sept. 15 at 10 p.m. on Comedy Central.
