Comedy Central knew exactly what it was doing when it scheduled its roast of Charlie Sheen to air on September 19.
According to sources at the network, the fact that Ashton Kutcher is set to premiere as Sheen's replacement on the CBS series Two and a Half Men that same evening was a factor in scheduling Sheen's roast. "It’s definitely fortuitous timing for us," said a Comedy Central spokesperson. "Everything aligned.
