Charlie Sheen Roast: Exclusive Interviews With Steve-O, William Shatner, Mike Tyson & More (VIDEO)

Charlie Sheen Roast

The Huffington Post   First Posted: 09/12/2011 9:07 pm Updated: 11/12/2011 5:12 am

The Comedy Central Roast of Charlie Sheen was, in a word, winning. But don't just take our word for it.

You'll have to wait until September 19 -- coincidentally, the same night as Charlie's funeral on "Two And A Half Men" -- to see the roast in its entirety, but we've got some exclusive red carpet interviews to tide you over.

We talked to roasters Mike Tyson, William Shatner, Steve-O, Amy Schumer, Patrick Warburton and more before and after the show and got the scoop on their preparations and predictions for the highly anticipated night of comedy.

Of course we had to ask Tyson how Sheen would fare in the ring, hear which roaster Warburton thinks has the most bravado, and ask Schumer how she prepared for her first roast. We talked to former Sheen co-stars Kristi Swanson and Michael Boatman about his resilient nature and even chatted with the "Workaholics" guys about meeting Charlie "Tigerblood" Sheen for the first time (hint: he demanded they call him "The Charlie").

Watch a cut of all the red carpet action below and check out our live blog from the night for more interviews and teasers. The roast airs on Comedy Central on Sept. 19 at 10:00 p.m. EST.

Jeffrey Ross said this was an intervention of sorts, as having Courtney Love being one of the roasters on a different roast in the past helped her seek medical attention for her own addictions.

From what I heard, that was one of Shatner's jokes: "I'm 80, you're 46; why do we look the same age?"

Everyone deserves a second, third, maybe fourth chance...No one should ever stop trying. And there is no denying that Charlie Sheen was MAGNETIC at one time.

He self-destructed. Maybe all the King's horses and all of his men could put him back together again...

I just watched Wall Street again and realized .... Great movie but his chops were weak compared to the cast around him. There is the one scene in the office with James Spader where Bud first approaches him regarding passing info. Spaders left eye was more interesting to watch and carried the scene enough to make Sheen look stiff and efforted. At the time I didn't realize that it was a great cast of talent around Sheen that made the movie what it was.

Okay, I have to admit. I was thinking of Charlie Sheen's one (brief) turn in Ferris Bueller's Day Off...I liked him in Hot Shots, and he was hilarious in Men at Work with his brother...

He does his best work when he's (constrained by the character to be) inarticulate.

William Shatner looks awesome for 80 - heck, he looks awesome for 60.
