Comedy Central to Roast the Notoriously Media-Shy Charlie Sheen

File this under Things the World Does Not Necessarily Need But Will Get Ratings Anyway: Comedy Central will air a roast of Charlie Sheen on Sept. 19. That is, coincidentally (which is to say, I assume not coincidentally), the night the new Two and a Half Men lineup with Ashton Kutcher returns on CBS. All of which gives Comedy Central’s comedians a little more than two months to discover if there are, in fact, any Charlie Sheen jokes that have not already been told.

That reminds me, by the way, of one more While I Was Out item of business: last week, while I was on vacation, CBS announced its fall premiere schedule, sticking mostly to the traditional late-September dates. The schedule, after the jump:
