The Comedy Central Roast of AKA on Comedy Central (DStv 121) will have Mark Fish, Nina Hastie and Francois van Coke as some of the panellists.
Viacom International Media Networks Africa (VIMN Africa) announced the first set of roasters who will be taking on the notorious rapper when the Comedy Central Roast of AKA is recorded on 21 February at The Teatro at Montecasino, Johannesburg with Pearl Tusi as the roastmaster.
The Comedy Central Roast of AKA (real name Kiernan Forbes) will be broadcast on Comedy Central, with the uncensored version going to MultiChoice's Showmax video streaming service.
The Comedy Central Roast of AKA will be broadcast on Comedy Central on 11 March 2019, with an extended and uncut version that will be released a day later on Showmax on 12 March.
"I'm excited to be on the panel of the Comedy Central Roast of AKA, this may be the only time I can roast him since he's the king of roasting people on Twitter," says Mark Fish. "I can't wait to meet all of the panellists and make people laugh out loud. I think I'm a funny guy but this shall be revealed on the day."
Nina Hastie says "I'd love to see his mom Lynne Forbes on the panel, I doubt there's anyone who knows him better. I would roast him on skipping leg day the most. His whole leg is ankle. Maybe that's why he got a shoe sponsorship - because having a whole leg as an ankle makes a shoe look very special."
Francois van Coke says "I'm super amped to be part of AKA's roast. I hope they fly me up to Jozi business class. I have only been on one business class flight in my life and it was because of AKA".
