'Gene Simmons Roast' To Air This Weekend - June 12, 2008

"Gene Simmons Roast" will air on A&E this Sunday, June 15 at 10:00 p.m. EST/9:00 p.m. CST.

"Gene Simmons Roast" was taped on November 27, 2007 at the Key Club on Sunset Blvd. in Hollywood, California. The event — which is said to be a benefit for "wounded warriors" — was hosted by comedian Jeffrey Ross and featured "roasts" by the following celebrities and comedians:

Brian Poshen
Carrot Top
Dave Navarro
Craig Gass
Danny Bonaduce
Eddie Griffin
Fred Armisen
Jim Norton
John Heffron
Lisa Lampanelli
Ralphie May
Shannon Tweed
Steve-O

Each "roast" focuses on a particular celebrity as its target. A panel is selected from the celebrity's peers and current, popular comedians to comically point out the foibles of the personal and professional lives of the celebrity in question.

Ross stated before the event: "I'm roasting my childhood hero... Growing up, Gene was my favorite member of my favorite band. But that doesn't mean I'm not gonna take him down hard."

Commented Simmons: "This is real stuff. I had no clue what was going on, who was going to be there, or what they were going to say. Very little of it was edited out (except that stuff A&E just couldn't put on the air). Some of it was very raunchy, and you may get to see that stuff on the web."
