Kevin Hart is already considered by many to be the hardest-working man in Hollywood right now, as he appeared in at least seven projects in 2014 on top of making the media rounds for his big films. Hart’s 2015 is a little lighter, though, as he already starred in The Wedding Ringer, which despite lousy reviews still doubled its production budget, as January boredom was enough to make people watch Josh Gad get head from a dead dog. Aside from that, Hart only has the Will Ferrell film Get Hard and filming for Ride Along 2 ahead of him, so with all that extra time, he has decided to take on the role of Comedy Central’s Roast Master.
Specifically, he’ll handle the officiating duties for Justin Bieber’s upcoming roast, as the Canadian pop star continues his goodwill tour to get people to stop thinking he’s a spoiled, lawless d-bag, while proving that he can take a joke.

The lineup of comics and friends who will be spitting hot fire at Bieber in that March 30 broadcast is still unknown, but we can be sure that Jeff Ross will be there, and one rumor has Bieber’s friend and the star of NBC’s Undateable Chris D’Elia as a “lock” to appear. If you’re crafting a Bieber roast bingo card, go ahead and make someone calling D’Elia’s show “Unwatchable” the center square. Then again, that should probably go to the inevitable Miley Cyrus hair joke. Either way, this show will be a riot.
