Following Comedy Central’s announcement on Monday that they’d be filming a roast of Roseanne Barr, the network has now announced that fellow funny lady Jane Lynch will helm the evening.

Asked to comment on the news, Lynch said, “I’ve long fantasized of ripping Roseanne Barr a new one. But because I don’t have the cajones to say anything offensive to her face, I will be hosting the proceedings.”

We previously told you that the event will be taped in August and air August 12 on Comedy Central. Barr is well known for her sitcom Roseanne and will return to TV for Downwardly Mobile with NBC.
