Comedy Central has always been pretty good about compiling eclectic dais' for their roast events, even if it sometimes makes you wonder what exactly the roasters relationship with the roast-ee is.
In keeping with that theme, the "Roast of Alec Baldwin," which is set to air on that network on Sunday, September 15, will feature a lineup that will include: Robert De Niro, Joel McHale, Chris Redd, eternal staple Jeff Ross, roastmaster Sean Hayes, and (most relevantly for this write-up) Caitlyn Jenner and Blake Griffin.
For those unaware, Griffin is the best stand-up comedian in the NBA, and while that would often be a title that doesn't mean shit on account of the fact that it's a league composed of basketball players and not comics, the dude is actually very funny and has great comic timing. Just as some people are good at zero things some people are good at two things, we guess. Must be nice.
Up top you can watch a clip of Blake Griffin roasting Caitlyn Jenner, because one of the prerequisites for a seat on the dais is that you're going to have to take some seriously harsh burns in front of everyone and just laugh (or more likely, fake laugh) it off. While we mentioned above that it's sometimes confusing to find out how celebrities correlate (and Griffin and Jenner's connection to Baldwin would qualify) the link between Jenner and Griffin is much less forced because, as you may remember, Blake dated Caitlin's daughter Kendall Jenner.
With that connection established, it kind of made more sense when Griffin told Caitlin, "On behalf of the entire NBA and half of the rappers on the Billboard charts, I want to thank you for giving your daughters their daddy issues!" And also, "Caitlyn completed her gender reassignment in 2017 ... finally confirming that no one in that family wants a white d*ck."
To see what else Griffin has to say in addition to, you know, every other joke that didn't get edited out, watch or DVR it when it airs on Sunday.
