Roastmaster Jeff Ross warned us his next roast was going to be epic—and he was right.

Next up on the throne to be abused (in the best way) by Ross and a group of fellow comics will be none other than Charlie Sheen.

Expect a lot of new twists on the toothless Vatican Warlock Assassin's goddesses, drugs, porn, ex-wives and spectacular firing from Two and a Half Men

So what's Sheen got to say about being a roastee?

Let's just say he knows what's coming.

"You could say I've been providing kindling for this Roast for a while," he said. "It's time to light it up. It's going to be epic."

Past roastees, like Donald Trump, David Hasselhoff, Joan Rivers, Bob Saget, Pam Anderson, William Shatner and Flava Flav, have managed to handle the heckling about their personalities, appearances and anything they've ever done wrong. So we have a feeling Sheen's going to give it back as much as he gets when he takes the podium for his rebuttal, where we're sure he'll launch some fresh truth torpedoes

But is Comedy Central worried the warlock troll-hater will get out of control?

"Charlie has assured us that nothing will be off limits in this Roast, which scares even us," says Comedy Central's head of programming, Kent Alterman.

The roast will tape in Los Angeles on September 10 and will air on the 19th.

Expect a ton of bleeps.
